Roscommon Betting Odds

Lightly-raced 4-y-o who has finished runner-up in mares handicap hurdles on her previous 2 starts, latterly in a solid event for the grade at Wexford on first try over this trip, and should at least hold her own now pitched into better company.

Travelled strongly in a well-run race when recording a career-best success at Ballinrobe (2¾m, good) last time, and while different conditions are unlikely to inconvenience, the pace scenario looks less favourable on this occasion.

Dual bumper/hurdle winner who isn't best judged on his run in the Martin Pipe at the Cheltenham Festival last time, though his mark still looks on the stiff side on first start in an Irish handicap.

Remains with just a solitary win to his name in this sphere but he was knocking on the door in handicaps last summer, and having run up to his best when third on the Flat at Killarney last time, he's fancied to double his hurdles tally with a good-value claimer taking over.

Below form both starts since a promising handicap debut second at Punchestown last December, though may have been short of peak fitness on return at Punchestown in late-April, and cannot be discounted if back on song in a first-time tongue strap.

Fairly useful handicap form when last seen over hurdles in 2024, he enhanced his good record fresh when defying a 15-month absence on Flat return at Navan in late-March, and looks interesting now reverted to hurdling.

Kilbeggan maiden hurdle winner never looked like justifying strong support at Ballinrobe (2m) last time, though she is unexposed over this sort of distance.

Inconsistent for Willie Mullins last year and having gone with little encouragement on reappearance/stable debut in the Red Mills at Gowran in mid-February, he is at least back at a more realistic level for his handicap bow.

Dual hurdles winner wasn't disgraced when finishing mid-field in a ladies' handicap hurdle at Limerick in December but has tended to need his reappearance run in the past.

Strong-travelling sort who benefitted from the return to less testing conditions when successful in a fiercely competitive event at Punchestown (2m) on return (form working out well), resuming progress in no uncertain terms, but the forecast rain is unlikely to help his chances.

Bounced straight back to form on return to veterans company at Ballinrobe on his latest start, coming from off the pace to finish second of 12 in a well-run handicap chase, and can still be competitive off a 3 lb lower hurdle mark.
