FormscanBy John O'Riordan - VISCHIO might still have a little in hand off her current hurdles mark, having won twice on the flat this summer. The Dick Donohoe-trained mare capitalised on a rating of 103 at Tramore in August but such was the authority of that success, she could still be nicely treated off 112. Blanketontheground has been running well of late and has the services of the excellent Michael O'Sullivan on this occasion. Doctor Churchill was well beaten in two recent runs but had been a smart juvenile last season. He may well have needed his initial run at Ballinrobe but it is hard to make excuses for his latest effort at Listowel. West Cork Wildway should be all the better for a recent spin on the flat at Listowel, so has to be considered for Paul O'Flynn and Darragh O'Keeffe.
