Visioman (5/6) was a fifth winning favourite in a row to oblige when staying on best by seven lengths for Henry de Bromhead and Rachael Blackmore in the Follow Kilbeggan Races On Facebook Beginners Steeplechase.

The 'jolly' was chased by Dassmyhoss over the last but that rival blundered badly enabling Visioman to stride clear by seven lengths.

Dassymhoss got back on an even keel to keep hold of second at 7/1. He was three and a quarter lengths ahead of Rock Road at 7/1.

Henry de Bromhead said: "He jumped really well. He had a nice run in Limerick the other day and saw it out well there, he was good.

“He jumps great. Rachael was brilliant on him and got him jumping really well.

“By the looks of that you'd say he'd get further but then we ran him in Punchestown and we though he didn't get home over two-five. I think we'll stick to similar trips for the moment.

“Hopefully there might be a rated novice chase for him in the next few weeks.”
