Formscan By Tom Weekes - BALKO D’ANGE returns following a summer’s break but is ideally suited by heavy ground. A progressive type last season, he scored at Listed level last Christmas and could continue to progress. Six-year-old Drumgill has already won six times and while heavy ground is a concern, reverts to hurdling competing from a favourable rating. He has done most of his racing during the summer months but has some form on easy ground and wasn’t beaten far in a Listowel chase last month. In-form Half A Chance has form on heavy and indeed has his chance while Littlefoot ran a fine race to finish second at Punchestown when last seen in April but reappears over an inadequate distance.
