Racing:Foreman, rated the best two-mile novice chaser around for Thierry Doumen last season, heads a list of seven entries for the Paddy Power Dial-A-Bet Chase at Leopardstown on December 27th.

Hi Cloy and Central House are both possibles after being involved in an astonishing renewal 12 months ago.

Sue Smith could send over the consistent Mister McGoldrick, while Nickname will be looking to bounce back from a poor showing in the John Durkan Memorial Chase.
Jim and Steel Band complete the line-up for the two-mile-one-furlong Grade One contest.
