After landing the odds at Ballinrobe, BRAHMA BULL beat a couple of well-fancied rivals in heavy ground at Listowel and will take some beating here. Dasmyhoss showed promise earlier in the year and was heavily supported on his return to action at Tramore in August where his supporters didn't have much to worry about. He looks a very nice prospect for Robbie McNamara who is also represented by Analytical Mindset, who wasn't at his best at Galway after a promising run at Cork. The remaining trio all won last time with the progressive James Eclipse showing his liking for heavy ground at Listowel, though probably better suited to a stamina test.
