FormscanBy Gary Carson - There might be a bit more to come from VISIONARIAN now that he steps up in trip. The former point-to-pointer won easily on his 'track' debut at Gowran before running a solid race in novice company to chase home Railway Hurricane at Tipperary. Both those came over the minimum trip and going an extra half mile now should suit. Gabbys Cross comes here on a hat-trick and has to be a big player. He just lasted out when winning at Punchestown three weeks ago but that looked a competitive heat and despite a 6lb rise he should still be in the mix. Henry de Bromhead also runs Premium Package who is interesting dropping back in trip having not quite seen out the three miles in testing conditions at Listowel.
