Verdict

Four-times hurdles winner Voix Du Reve will attract support on his chasing debut after a close third in a Grade B handicap at Listowel. He'll be primed for this though MIND'S EYE has a more conventional chasing pedigree. Henry De Bromhead's charge started off very well over timber last backend and finished his first campaign in Grade 1 company. He looks the one to be on though winning bumper and hurdler Minnies Secret has the benefit of a run over fences at Sligo. The latter's stable companion Indian Monsoon is one to keep an eye on in the market while Dis Donc has always looked a chasing type and is one to note for the future. Top Othe Ra beat Stormey a neck over hurdles here in August when conceding 8lb though is making his chasing bow at an advanced age.
