7/1

Good third off a mark of 102 in a 2m5f handicap chase at Killarney (good) on his penultimate start. Outclassed over hurdles subsequently and this looks a more suitable target.

Form: 7-72PD5

The Broom Squire^t¹⁰¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: A W Short⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Rothwell

80/1

5/6

Novice hurdle winner over an extended 2m at Clonmel (good) in May and ran well when third in a big field 2m2f contest on handicap debut at Limerick (good) last month. Likely to play a leading role once more.

Form: 305-013

Ar Eagla Na Heagla¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Katie O'Farrell⁽⁵⁾| T: Francis Casey

8/1

Winner over 1m5f at Leopardstown (good-to-yielding in June and performed well on both subsequent starts including when fourth on chase debut at Roscommon (2m5f, soft) last time out. Interesting runner in this contest.

Elm Grove^t⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Donagh Meyler| T: Madeleine Tylicki

7/1

Some good efforts in defeat over hurdles earlier this year and ran a fair race when fifth over an extended 1m2f at Roscommon (soft) on return from a break recently. Worth a check in the market on chase debut.

Form: 3814-56

Rain In Spain³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Brien| D

10/1

Triumphant four times over hurdles but fell when looking beaten on chase debut at Tipperary (2m1f, good) just over a month ago. Likely more needed in this event.

Form: 15-447F

Forecasts

Visioman (5/6), Dasmyhoss (7/1), Rock Road (7/1), Elm Grove (7/1), Ar Eagla Na Heagla (8/1), Rain In Spain (10/1), Gigiplan Two Seven (25/1), Our Lucas (33/1), Captain Leo (66/1), The Broom Squire (80/1)

VISIOMAN showed good form when placed on chase debut last time out and he can get off the mark at the second time of asking in this beginners chase. The selection looks capable of getting the better of Dasmyhoss who is debuting for a new yard following a good placed effort last start while thirdi place can go to Ar Eagla Na Heagla who ran well on chase debut when last in action.
