Totally Dominant, who doesn't have a jumper's pedigree, beat a huge field in a bumper here in June before completing a double on fast ground at Bellewstown. He may not be as effective on winter ground but as long as the going remains decent he has to be considered, though he could start a false price and ON IMPULSE looks better value. He's moved to Ted Walsh since producing a cracking effort when runner-up to Free Expression in a huge field at Naas and can go one better. Captain Von Trappe, an easy winner between the flags in May, will have come on a bundle for his recent bumper run at Galway and is one to note as is another point-to-point winner Mells Theater, who has come up against strong opposition in two starts over timber. Oiche Maith made too many mistakes at Fairyhouse when behind the selection after a promising run at Naas.
