Visionarian was receiving 4lb when beating Call Me Lyreen less than a length in similar grade at Galway and the runner-up should take revenge on 7lb better terms. Upping The Anti was the very impressive winner of his first two starts over fences and probably wasn't suited by a slowly-run four-runner race when odds-on at Wexford. ADAMANTLY CHOSEN, a winning bumper and hurdler, looks a smart prospect for chasing after a convincing victory at Listowel and may prove just too good for Midnight Run, who has been unfortunate to come up against the very promising Enniskerry in his last two starts over fences.
