FormscanBy John O'Riordan - It is very difficult to get away from the hat-trick seeking VISCHIO at a venue where she has already proven her effectiveness. The Dick Donohoe trained mare made all the running over course and distance last month, before following up at Ballinrobe on her next start. Despite a subsequent 7lb rise, the daughter of Holy Roman Emperor looks ahead of the handicapper. Immelmann, who made a very pleasing debut for Willie Mullins at the Curragh, can readily be forgiven a poor run at the Galway festival as the ground had gone for him. Back on a sounder surface here, the five-year-old has strong claims, although he may just prefer further. Last year's winner Royal Eagle is likely to have been targeted at a repeat for some time, so is worthy of consideration under Jake Coen.
