FormscanBy Michael Graham - ADAMANTLY CHOSEN made a winning start to his career over fences in Listowel last month. He powered home by eight lengths to earn a crack at this Grade 3. Both trip and ground look ideal for him. As a former winner of the valuable Goffs Land Rover Bumper, he has plenty of pace for this trip. Visionarian has won both races over fences including in a Grade 3 novice chase over a similar trip at Galway. He jumped really well that day and should be a tough opponent. He does have to give Adamantly Chose 7lb under the terms of this race, though. Midnight Run holds a mark of 143, but is a maiden over fences. He has finished runner-up in three of his six outings in this sphere and is capable of having a say. Upping The Anti was disappointing when trying to give weight away in his bid for a hat-trick over fences at Wexford. A better run wouldn't be a surprise. Call Me Lyreen fell at Listowel, but has plenty of form over fences.
