No shortage of quality as De Bromhead gears up for another exciting season
The Knockeen trainer has a select bunch of top-level contenders
If Henry de Bromhead's stable was a Premier League football club, it would be the type of team you could rely upon to reach the Champions League spots every season, play exciting football and, most importantly, record major success on a regular basis.
The Knockeen-based trainer has developed a squad brimming with talent in all departments and gazes into this season with particular excitement. He has got talented players for every position.
Last season's Ryanair Chase winner Balko Des Flos failed to sparkle on his return to action in the JNwine.com Champion Chase at Down Royal but De Bromhead is confident he has got to the root of the problem and you will see the real Balko Des Flos in the John Durkan Chase at Punchestown next month.
