FormscanBy Gary Carson - JOSHUA DES FLOS has produced a couple of solid efforts in his two starts to date and could prove hard to beat now. The Joshua Tree gelding chased home Ballybawn Belter on his debut last season before finishing third to Absolute Notions on his hurdling bow, and first start for Joseph O'Brien, at Punchestown in November. This looks a nice opportunity for him to open his account. A couple of point-to-point recruits could be the dangers. Farren Glory makes his first start for Gordon Elliott. He was second at Turtulla in November and the winner has franked that form with two wins since. The Paul Nolan-trained He's My Hero was runner-up on his sole outing at Dromahane last April and the market may prove the best guide to his chances.
