Dolly Dancer^h,t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Brian Hayes| T: E Mullins| OR: 119| CD

9/2

Winner of a Tramore beginners contest on chasing debut last month over a similar trip; not disgraced in better contest next time out at Listowel; looks to have a good chance but might not want the ground to get too soft.

Form: 126613

Visioman⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 123| D

15/8

Has taken well to fences beginning with a fair effort at Limerick before scooting up at Kilbeggan in late August; looks the one they need to beat if continuing his progress.

Ballyegan Hero²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Phillip Enright| T: J J Walsh| OR: 119

4/1

Useful 118-rated handicap hurdler who has taken a while to get the hang of the larger obstacles; best effort, however, came last time out at Listowel (finished 2nd) and if building on that he has a reasonable chance of going one better

Form: 0-P6962

Lady Writer²⁰⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: D G Hogan| T: D Hogan

18/1

Useful hurdler who takes her chance here without a chase run under her belt; if she can translate her hurdle form to fences than she will have a reasonable chance of landing this on her debut.

Mistheatre^t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr L P Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Gilligan

100/1

Has disappointed in both outings over fences to date and no likely reason why she will turn that round here.

Form: 460608

Templemore Dream⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: K J Brouder⁽⁵⁾| T: K H Clarke| OR: 123| D

9/4

Returned from a long lay off to put in a fine performance at Roscommon in late September; he should be much fitter here and can capable of putting up a bold show.

Forecasts

Visioman (15/8), Templemore Dream (9/4), Ballyegan Hero (4/1), Dolly Dancer (9/2), Ozzie's Way (9/2), Lady Writer (18/1), Mistheatre (100/1)

VISIOMAN has taken well to fences and is taken to continue his progress. He won very well last time out at Kilbeggan and there is no reason he can not progress again. The one thing that may count against him is if there is more rain and the ground becomes testing. Testing is the ground relished by Templemore Dream who showed his well being with a promising come back run at Roscommon last month. He can build on that and possibly give the selection most to worry about. Any market moves for Lady Writer making her chase debut would be encouraging.
