Race preview
In a race lacking strength and depth, SO DES FLOS should prove hard to beat. A half-brother to seven-time winner Vision Des Flos, the Gordon Elliott trained selection ran a race full of promise on debut at Leopardstown on St Stephen's Day. Tenth entering the straight there, he finished out his race well to take fourth and this step up in trip should play to his strengths. Newcomer Belper, who is a half-brother to Grade 1 winner Coney Island, won't need to be anything out of the ordinary to make an impact here, while Buachaillbocht is another to consider. A well-beaten fifth on debut last month, he can be expected to come on plenty for that effort.
