17:00 Roscommon Claiming Hurdle 20f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (3.5/1 -17%) Bal De Rio	3.5 3.5/1(-17%)	(2) Bal De Rio 3.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Punchestown in May. 2/1, respectable third of 12 in claiming hurdle at Sligo (18.2f, good) 27 days ago. Should go well again. Admirably consistent so the one to beat on the balance.
2	4 2nd (4) (7.5/1 +6%) Custers Mistake	7.5 7.5/1(+6%)	(4) Custers Mistake 7.5/1, Fair hurdler. 12/1, good sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.6f, good) 29 days ago. Not sure what maiden's trip is though he plugged on well enough when beaten at Punchestown.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 +38%) Barbary Master	4 4/1(+38%)	(3) Barbary Master 4/1, Fair hurdler. Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. Eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.6f, good, 12/1) 29 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Maiden seems to be going nowhere, noted jumping left at Punchestown when well-held.
4	6 4th (6) (12/1 +25%) Eagle Terrace	12 12/1(+25%)	(6) Eagle Terrace 12/1, Fair hurdler. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 33/1, fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (20.4f, good) 19 days ago. Went hurdling there latest, chasing having not worked out, and ran pretty well off 103.
5th	1 5th (1) (3.5/1 -5%) Coventry	3.5 3.5/1(-5%)	(1) Coventry 3.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Blinkers on for 1st time in this code, thirteenth of 16 in handicap at the Curragh (16f, good, 28/1) 9 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Not taken lightly. Had a touch of class not so long ago but became disappointing and market reflecting that.
6th	8 6th (8) (6.5/1 +24%) Benz	6.5 6.5/1(+24%)	(8) Benz 6.5/1, Fair hurdler. 33/1, sixth of 12 in novice chase at Tipperary (19.5f, soft) on debut over fences 6 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Sets the benchmark on best form. Won maiden hurdle last season; well-held at Punchestown behind Bar De Rio; no better since.
7th	12 7th (12) (20/1 +50%) Repeat That	20 20/1(+50%)	(12) Repeat That 20/1, Modest hurdler. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Tongue strap on for 1st time, below form sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good, 12/1) 21 days ago. Latest well-held off 84 at 12-1; only 17 runs and conditions fine but not easily fancied..
8th	10 8th (10) (22/1 +33%) Massons Castle	22 22/1(+33%)	(10) Massons Castle 22/1, Modest chaser. 66/1, sixth of 13 in novice chase at Tramore (21f, good) 38 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Plenty to find on form. Modest sort; bit better chasing latest but no real appeal.
9th	7 9th (7) (40/1 -100%) Knock On Steel	40 40/1(-100%)	(7) Knock On Steel 40/1, Fair chaser. Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. 28 lengths last of 4 to Cilaos Emery in listed chase at Thurles (22f, good to soft, 40/1). Off 19 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Old boy 3-35; absence and entry here both concerning, not in great nick when last seen.
10th	9 10th (9) (25/1 +0%) Latest Model	25 25/1(+0%)	(9) Latest Model 25/1, Modest hurdler. 12/1 and blinkered for 1st time, below form seventh of 13 in novice hurdle at Wexford (20.4f, good) 19 days ago. Difficult ask. Ran vaguely to her mark twice this season but that not saying much; blinkers off..
11th	11 11th (11) (11/1 -47%) My Manekineko	11 11/1(-47%)	(11) My Manekineko 11/1, Fairly useful chaser. 20/1, bit below form fourth of 12 in claiming hurdle at Sligo (18.2f, good) 27 days ago. Merits consideration. Grand sort on his day and still retains some ability, not shamed in claiming affair, Sligo.
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (100/1 -100%) Saddle In The Rain	100 100/1(-100%)	(13) Saddle In The Rain 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 66/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (17.4f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Uphill task. Looks of no account.

LTO Selection:

COVENTRY, the highest-rated in the field, hasn't been at his best in recent outings but should have a good chance now dropped into a claimer. He was twice placed in staying handicaps in the autumn and ran well enough in mid-division in a competitive three-mile contest at Punchestown in February. He probably needed the run when not disgraced in a Flat handicap on Derby weekend and that should have teed him up nicely for this. Bal De Rio is a regular in this type of contest and his victory over Fancy A Cosmo at Punchestown reads well after that horse bolted up at Wexford on Friday. Denis Hogan's charge then ran well in a good handicap at Listowel before being placed in a claimer at Sligo. At the ripe old age of 14, My Manekineko won't be attracting many claims but he came home well to be a place behind Bal De Rio at Sligo and that was a good effort after seven months off. The veteran is more likely to give his running than many of these and has place claims.

The in-form BAL DE RIO looks the most reliable option. Gordon Elliott's pair Benz and Coventry have become disappointing but are feared on these terms.

BAL DE RIO managed recent claiming wins either side of a totally unexpected gamble in a competitive handicap at Ballinrobe. He can score

17:00 Roscommon Claiming Hurdle 20f PREDICTION SIMULATION

17:35 Roscommon Maiden Hurdle 20f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (33/1 +0%) Hazelhatch Lady	33 33/1(+0%)	(5) Hazelhatch Lady 33/1, Bumper winner last summer but low-key start over hurdles, 16/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Wexford (20.4f, good) 19 days ago. Her surprise win in a Wexford bumper (2m4f, soft) is very much a standout.
2	11 2nd (11) (3/1 +40%) Skradin	3 3/1(+40%)	(11) Skradin 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 4/1, creditable fourth of 15 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.1f, soft) 60 days ago. Sets a solid standard. Has ability but official mark of 104 hints at limitations whilst kept to maiden company.
3	3 3rd (3) (2/1 +11%) Onlyamatteroftime	2 2/1(+11%)	(3) Onlyamatteroftime 2/1, Shaped with promise both starts over hurdles and won 15-runner bumper (25/1) at Punchestown (16.2f, good) on bumper debut 30 days ago, running on (second past the post but subsequently promoted). Major player. Promoted to first at Punchestown when posting useful RPR of 123.
4	1 4th (1) (20/1 -11%) Clifftop	20 20/1(-11%)	(1) Clifftop 20/1, Fair hurdler. Fourteenth of 17 in handicap at Navan (10f, good to soft, 22/1) 29 days ago, slowly away. Switches from Flat to hurdles and not out of it on best form. Three-time Flat winner but well beaten at Navan (1m2f) last month and 0-9 as a hurdler.
5th	2 5th (2) (1.1/1 +63%) Minella Mate	1.1 1.1/1(+63%)	(2) Minella Mate 1.1/1, Career best when winning 12-runner bumper (4/5) at Kilbeggan (16f, good) 21 days ago. Makes hurdles debut up in trip and has to be taken seriously. Made it fourth-time lucky in bumpers on good ground at Kilbeggan, justifying short odds.
6th	18 6th (18) (100/1 -614%) Royal Class	100 100/1(-614%)	(18) Royal Class 100/1, 13/2, seventh of 13 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (20.4f, good) on NH debut 38 days ago. RESERVE. Reserve; beaten when falling in his point and didn't show enough at Down Royal..
7th	16 7th (16) (125/1 -150%) Yara Greyjoy	125 125/1(-150%)	(16) Yara Greyjoy 125/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Pulled up in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.2f, soft, 40/1) on hurdles bow 60 days ago, pulled up second. Up in trip. Showed a little when fifth of nine in a bumper but then pulled up in a maiden at Clonmel.
8th	6 8th (6) (33/1 -50%) Broken Bond	33 33/1(-50%)	(6) Broken Bond 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Gowran (20f, heavy) 121 days ago. Hasn't progressed from a promising start, showing zilch in handicaps the last twice.
9th	15 9th (15) (80/1 -60%) Late Vocation	80 80/1(-60%)	(15) Late Vocation 80/1, Eighth of 16 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16f, good, 150/1) on NH debut 29 days ago, not knocked about. Up in trip. Finished midfield in a 2m maiden at Punchestown when 150-1.
10th	12 10th (12) (50/1 +0%) The Bridge House	50 50/1(+0%)	(12) The Bridge House 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Below form sixth of 14 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (23.6f, good, 100/1) 29 days ago. No more than minor promise thus far and handicaps are going to be more like it.
11th	8 11th (8) (25/1 -14%) Maple Meadow	25 25/1(-14%)	(8) Maple Meadow 25/1, Dam, 2m-2½m hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to smart hurdler/chaser (stayed 29f) Lie Forrit and useful hurdler/chase winner (stayed 3m) Oscar Rose. 9,000euros foal; fourth foal; dam 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase winner.

Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Significantly back up in trip. Just about his best run yet when a 20l fourth of 12 in a bumper at Kilbeggan in April.
13th	14 13th (14) (200/1 -60%) Charlie Bawnie	200 200/1(-60%)	(14) Charlie Bawnie 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, eighteenth of 20 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (18.5f, heavy) 177 days ago. Tailed off in two maidens, though they were on very different ground at top tracks.
14th	13 14th (13) (125/1 -56%) Wee Monarch	125 125/1(-56%)	(13) Wee Monarch 125/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Twelfth of 13 in bumper at Sligo (18f, soft, 28/1). Off 8 months. Makes hurdles debut. Ran quite well in a 2m4f good-ground bumper at Limerick; soft an excuse last time.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (150/1 -971%) Onehellofagetaway	150 150/1(-971%)	(9) Onehellofagetaway 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 15 in bumper at Thurles (15.6f, good to soft, 12/1) 151 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Miss Elizabeth Doyle. Showed more in his second bumper when beaten 13l at Thurles.

LTO Selection:

ONLYAMATTEROFTIME had a couple of nice runs over hurdles, including behind the top-class Marine Nationale, before running in a Punchestown bumper last month. After coming out second best following a great scrap with a Willie Mullins-trained hotpot, the Getaway gelding was rightly promoted to first after suffering serious interference. There was talk of selling him afterwards but that obviously hasn't materialised and he should take a bit of beating here, with Aidan Kelly's valuable allowance only adding to his claims. With the exception of his last run, Scott Lang has been in good form on the level this year, including when finishing fourth at this venue in May, after which he was placed over hurdles at Punchestown. He was third over 2m3f at Clonmel last year on his only other hurdles outing. Minella Mate goes jumping for the first time after winning a Kilbeggan bumper and is from a French family full of winning hurdlers.

ONLYAMATTEROFTIME ran to a high figure when winning a Punchestown bumper a month ago and having shaped quite well over hurdles prior to that, he's fancied to follow up. Minella Mate also won a bumper last time and is a threat, with Skradin also likely to be involved.

There's very little depth to this and it's hard to get away from ONLYAMATTEROFTIME, who showed useful form in his latest bumper.

17:35 Roscommon Maiden Hurdle 20f PREDICTION SIMULATION

18:05 Roscommon Maiden Hurdle 16f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
9	9 (9) (1.25/1 +38%) Don'tstopthemusic	1.25 1.25/1(+38%)	(9) Don'tstopthemusic 1.25/1, Promising sort. Eighth of 21 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, soft, 33/1) on NH debut. Off 6 months. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Should improve. Eighth of 21 behind the very smart Dark Raven at Leopardstown over Christmas.
1	5 1st (5) (2.75/1 +83%) Timourid	2.75 2.75/1(+83%)	(5) Timourid 2.75/1, Fairly useful winner at 10f on Flat. 12/1, last of 11 in handicap at the Curragh (12f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Unseated early on his hurdling debut nearly two years ago; Flat form needs respecting.
2	8 2nd (8) (5.5/1 +73%) Ballycallan King	5.5 5.5/1(+73%)	(8) Ballycallan King 5.5/1, Last of 12 in minor event (250/1) at Listowel (13f, good) 36 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles and displayed ability previous outing over timber. Fourth in a Gowran maiden last March but it's been low-grade stuff on the Flat since then.
3	7 3rd (7) (4/1 +78%) Stormy Jenn	4 4/1(+78%)	(7) Stormy Jenn 4/1, Fairly useful Flat winner, making jumps debut. Second of 14 in handicap (11/2) at Down Royal (10.3f, good) 16 days ago. Only narrowly failed to register a third Flat win at Down Royal (1m2f, good) two weeks ago.
4	1 4th (1) (10/1 +0%) Fast Medicine	10 10/1(+0%)	(1) Fast Medicine 10/1, Twenty fourth of 28 in handicap (125/1) at Newmarket (9f, good). Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving Peter Chapple-Hyam. Hood on for hurdles debut and he possesses the raw ability to be a threat. Dual Flat winner (7f/1m) for Peter Chapple-Hyam and ran to a fair level.
5th	10 5th (10) (11/1 +67%) Electric Eddy	11 11/1(+67%)	(10) Electric Eddy 11/1, 80/1, seventh of 16 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (15.8f, good to soft) on NH debut 48 days ago. 80-1 when beaten just under 40l in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown in May.
6th	6 6th (6) (33/1 +67%) Rushford	33 33/1(+67%)	(6) Rushford 33/1, Fairly useful Flat winner. Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. 125/1, twelfth of 17 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, good) 35 days ago. Flat ability catches the eye but it's been a very quiet start over hurdles.
7th	13 7th (13) (18/1 +64%) Longagoanfarbehind	18 18/1(+64%)	(13) Longagoanfarbehind 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Pulled up in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.1f, soft, 66/1) 60 days ago. Questionable what he achieved when third in a Sedgefield bumper; poor since.
8th	3 8th (3) (10/1 +80%) Pretty Soldier	10 10/1(+80%)	(3) Pretty Soldier 10/1, Fair Flat winner, making jumps debut. 16/1, first run since leaving C. Von Der Recke when seventh of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (10.3f, good) on IRE debut 16 days ago. Showed enough on the Flat (inc stable debut) to believe he could make a hurdler.
9th	16 9th (16) (6/1 +82%) No Risk No Story	6 6/1(+82%)	(16) No Risk No Story 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 200/1, last of 14 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (21.7f, good to soft). Off 7 months. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Brian M. McMahon. The switch to Charles Byrnes heightens interest but has a lot to prove.
10th	12 10th (12) (100/1 +0%) Jimmy Mcgill	100 100/1(+0%)	(12) Jimmy Mcgill 100/1, 100/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Limerick (11.2f, soft) 79 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. First run for yard after leaving John Joseph Winston. Low-grade Flat maiden who was pulled up on his hurdling debut earlier this year when 125-1.
11th	11 11th (11) (11/1 +89%) Free Parking	11 11/1(+89%)	(11) Free Parking 11/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Twenty third of 25 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) on hurdles bow 163 days ago. Runner-up in a point but has shown pretty much nothing so far under rules.
12th	14 12th (14) (33/1 +50%) Beanie To Sea	33 33/1(+50%)	(14) Beanie To Sea 33/1, 150/1, tenth of 17 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, good) on NH debut 30 days ago. Poor on Flat; hurdling debut a little more encouraging but hard to fancy.
13th	15 13th (15) (125/1 -25%) Dugort Bay	125 125/1(-25%)	(15) Dugort Bay 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 200/1, thirteenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.2f, good) 41 days ago. No worthwhile form so far and readily opposed.
14th	17 14th (17) (50/1 +0%) Winds Of Winter	50 50/1(+0%)	(17) Winds Of Winter 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 17 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, good, 100/1) 30 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. RESERVE. Reserve; has no form claims from her opening two starts and is now hooded.

LTO Selection:

DON'TSTOPTHEMUSIC will be carrying the colours of Roscommon native Sean Mulryan and his wife Bernardine, and Martin Brassil has probably had this race in mind for some time. The Kayf Tara gelding was eighth of 21 in a Leopardstown maiden hurdle won by Supreme sixth Dark Raven at Christmas and the second, fourth, fifth and sixth have all won maidens since. Now fitted with a tongue-tie, fitness is no concern coming from this yard and the half-brother to Champion Chase winner Dodging Bullets will be hard to beat. Sherodan, a smooth winner of a bumper at Tipperary two years ago, is the other one to focus on. He clearly hasn't been straightforward to train but made an encouraging return from a 21-month absence when second to a useful type on hurdling debut at Ballinrobe. A premier handicap winner at the Curragh on Guineas weekend, Timourid has just a second run over hurdles here and may be better for the experience having departed early on his first try over flights at Ballinrobe two years ago.

SHERODAN has wisely been given time to recover on the back of a promising hurdles debut following a lengthy absence and he will take plenty of stopping. Don'tstopthemusic has a bigger performance in him and is feared, while Fast Medicine's Flat ability makes him dangerous.

Sherodan is the solid option but DON'TSTOPTHEMUSIC was not disgraced in a hot maiden during Leopardstown's Christmas meeting.

18:38 Roscommon Novices Hurdle 16f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (1/1 +0%) Williamstowndancer	1 1/1(+0%)	(7) Williamstowndancer 1/1, Promising type. 8/11, career best when winning 13-runner maiden hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 52 days ago, edging ahead before last. Seems sure to go well with improvement on the cards. Bumper winner placed in Grade 2 at Aintree; RPR of 130 on hurdling debut at Downpatrick.
2	1 2nd (1) (4.5/1 +18%) Lucid Dreams	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(1) Lucid Dreams 4.5/1, Off the mark at Ballinrobe in May and took a big step forward upped in trip when following up in 4-runner novice hurdle readily at this course (20.7f, good to soft, 11/8) 4 weeks ago, leading 2 out. Back down in distance and may well do better. Promising before RPRs 130 in Ballinrobe, course wins, suggesting he is trip-versatile.
3	2 3rd (2) (3/1 +33%) Bowmore	3 3/1(+33%)	(2) Bowmore 3/1, 5/6, improved further after 6 months off to get off the mark in 11-runner maiden hurdle at Wexford (16.7f, good) 19 days ago, leading on bridle 2 out and easing clear. Should have more to offer. Progressive sort entitled to win at Wexford latest; in top hands; this much more demanding.
4	3 4th (3) (33/1 +0%) Walhaan	33 33/1(+0%)	(3) Walhaan 33/1, Ran respectably back up in trip after 10 weeks off when sixth of 13 in handicap (18/1) at Naas (8f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Fairly useful hurdler, poor on last run. Beaten about 41l both runs hurdling since Leopardstown maiden win in March; risky so.
5th	5 5th (5) (18/1 -157%) This Songisforyou	18 18/1(-157%)	(5) This Songisforyou 18/1, Fairly useful winner at 17f in bumpers. Out of depth when sixth of 8 in bumper (40/1) at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft) 5 months ago. Makes hurdles debut and worth a market check for a trainer who certainly knows the time of day. Galway bumper winner; chances are he is Galway-bound and this tough hurdling introduction.
6th	4 6th (4) (18/1 -29%) Extrapolation	18 18/1(-29%)	(4) Extrapolation 18/1, Winner in bumper at Downpatrick in May. Last of 6 in bumper at the Curragh (16f, good, 15/8) 33 days ago. Made a promising hurdling debut when runner-up at Punchestown in May and not taken lightly back in this sphere. RPR of 127 on hurdling debut in Punchestown second; flopped at Curragh but better likely.
7th	6 7th (6) (6/1 +29%) Katou	6 6/1(+29%)	(6) Katou 6/1, Shaped with promise in a bumper 6 months earlier and made a successful debut over hurdles in 13-runner maiden at Tramore (16.8f, good) 37 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Open to progress. Beat stablemate of Bowmore, Tramore; can jump better; stable jockey on Williamstowndancer.
8th	8 8th (8) (250/1 +0%) Fanta Magic	250 250/1(+0%)	(8) Fanta Magic 250/1, Never a threat after 14 months off when eleventh of 18 in maiden hurdle at Listowel (16f, good, 200/1) 5 weeks ago. Can only be watched. No realistic chance here.

LTO Selection:

WILLIAMSTOWNDANCER should continue her upward curve by making it two from two over flights. A smart bumper mare, who finished third in Grade 2 company at Aintree on her penultimate start, she didn't have to be at her best to easily land the odds on her hurdling debut at Downpatrick recently. Although faced with a much stiffer assignment now, it will be a surprise if the Willie Mullins-trained five-year-old isn't up to the task. Lucid Dreams has won two of his three runs over hurdles, including at this track last time. Despite dropping back in distance, he looks sure to make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick. Extrapolation ran well below expectations at the Curragh last time but that is unlikely to have been his true running. The Mahler gelding is capable of much better if back on song.

Cases can be made for several but WILLIAMSTOWNDANCER made a successful transition to hurdling at Downpatrick in May and with further progress on the cards, she can remain unbeaten in this sphere. Lucid Dreams arrives chasing a hat-trick so he may well emerge as the main danger, ahead of the selection's stablemate Katou and hurdling debutant This Songisforyou.

A classy race. WILLIAMSTOWNDANCER gets 11lbs off Lucid Dreams and seems preferred at home to Katou. Extrapolation is noted

19	19 (19) (16/1 +0%) Kellie's Dream	16 16/1(+0%)	(19) Kellie's Dream 16/1, One win from 3 runs last season. 5/1, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (19.9f, good to soft). Off 9 months. Back down in trip. Others more persuasive. RESERVE. Reserve; Wexford winner last September off 4lb lower, showing improved form.
1	8 1st (8) (3.5/1 +22%) Presenting Lad	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(8) Presenting Lad 3.5/1, Course winner. One win from 27 NH runs. Good ¾-length second of 15 to Only One Plan in handicap hurdle (5/2) at this course (16.2f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Expected to be bang there. C&D winner who was second in this 12 months ago off a similar mark; positive latest run.
2	6 2nd (6) (7.5/1 +66%) Paidi's Passion	7.5 7.5/1(+66%)	(6) Paidi's Passion 7.5/1, 12/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Wexford (24.5f, good) 19 days ago, tailed off when pulled up before 4 out. Significantly down in trip. She ran poorly most recently and this trip is on the sharp side.
3	13 3rd (13) (20/1 +39%) Benefit Run	20 20/1(+39%)	(13) Benefit Run 20/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2020. 11/1, last of 4 in handicap chase at Ayr (16.5f, good to soft) 146 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. 11yo who lacks a recent run and hasn't won since 2020; others safer.
4	2 4th (2) (10/1 +29%) Downtherefordancin	10 10/1(+29%)	(2) Downtherefordancin 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16f, good to soft) 84 days ago. Showed a bit more on his switch to handicaps at Tramore; may have more to offer.
5th	12 5th (12) (5/1 -43%) Only One Plan	5 5/1(-43%)	(12) Only One Plan 5/1, Career best when winning 15-runner handicap hurdle at this course (16.2f, good to soft, 9/2) 28 days ago by ¾ length from the reopposing Presenting Lad. Tongue strap on 1st time. Should go well. Had his consistency rewarded when edging out Presenting Lad over C&D four weeks ago.
6th	14 6th (14) (14/1 +0%) Inchiquin Star	14 14/1(+0%)	(14) Inchiquin Star 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle (5/1) at Listowel (16f, good) 35 days ago. Plenty of placed form but remains a maiden and she ran no race last time out.
7th	7 7th (7) (16/1 +60%) Dontdooddson	16 16/1(+60%)	(7) Dontdooddson 16/1, First run since leaving Eoin Christopher McCarthy when seventh of 11 in handicap chase at Clonmel (20f, good, 25/1) 31 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Down in trip. Infrequent winner and better known as a chaser these days; quiet after an absence.
8th	3 8th (3) (11/1 +0%) Hi Ski	11 11/1(+0%)	(3) Hi Ski 11/1, Winner in hurdle at Tipperary in May. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (16f, good, 6/1) 35 days ago. Probably ran her race when fourth at Listowel and might be high in the weights.
9th	11 9th (11) (33/1 -106%) Jeriko De Baune	33 33/1(-106%)	(11) Jeriko De Baune 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Eighth of 14 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16.6f, good, 50/1) 38 days ago. Should have more to offer in handicaps. Handicap debutant but not an obvious contender on the strength of his maiden form.
10th	16 10th (16) (50/1 -100%) Cornmarket	50 50/1(-100%)	(16) Cornmarket 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 12 in maiden at Ballinrobe (9.6f, good, 150/1) 14 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Tailed off in Flat maiden 2 weeks ago; maiden efforts over hurdles nothing to shout about.
11th	5 11th (5) (9/1 +64%) Downthecellar	9 9/1(+64%)	(5) Downthecellar 9/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.3f, good to soft, 18/1) 23 days ago. Four chase wins; well treated on that; ground too soft on recent return to hurdling.
12th	4 12th (4) (18/1 +10%) Malbas	18 18/1(+10%)	(4) Malbas 18/1, Bit below form seventh of 20 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.3f, good, 40/1), not knocked about. Off 9 months. Needs a couple of these to falter. 0-14 hurdling; final run last year was satisfactory but no more than that.
13th	9 13th (9) (12/1 -20%) Princess Sophia	12 12/1(-20%)	(9) Princess Sophia 12/1, Winner in hurdle at Punchestown in May but ran no sort of race at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) since. Bounce back needed. Hood helped when winning at Punchestown but she then ran no race at Kilbeggan.
14th	10 14th (10) (12/1 -20%) Blackberry Jack	12 12/1(-20%)	(10) Blackberry Jack 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fourth of 14 in maiden at Ballinrobe (9.6f, good to soft, 7/2). Off 12 months. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Not taken lightly. Hinted at winning potential over hurdles; ran well in two Flat maidens last summer.
15th	1 15th (1) (9/1 +10%) Know The Game	9 9/1(+10%)	(1) Know The Game 9/1, Winner in chase at Naas in December. 5/1, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap chase at Tipperary (17f, good to soft) 67 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Looks competitive on form. Running with distinction over fences and has to be considered off this lower hurdle mark.

LTO Selection:

Just three-parts of a length separated ONLY ONE PLAN and Presenting Lad when they clashed here last month, with the Philip Rothwell-trained former coming out on top. With James O'Sullivan claiming a valuable 5lb, the selection is slightly better off at the weights now and can confirm the form, fitted with a tongue-strap for the first time. Ross O'Sullivan saddles Hi Ski and Benefit Run and they both have solid claims. Owned and bred by Patrick Molloy, the former is given second preference. She was successful at Tipperary on her penultimate start and since finished a close fourth at Listowel. Princess Sophia showed signs of coming into season after disappointing at Kilbeggan last month and she might be able to redeem herself now. A case can be made for many others in this competitive affair, with Downtherefordancin, Up And Out, Blackberry Jack and Know The Game a few for the shortlist.

PRESENTING LAD bounced back to his best when chasing home Only One Plan here 4 weeks ago and a 3 lb swing in the weights might be enough for him to turn the tables on his old rival. Hi Ski and Know The Game are a couple of others for the shortlist, while Steps In The Sand would also enter the reckoning if getting a run.

The 7yo PRESENTING LAD was runner-up in this 12 months ago and could well reverse recent course placings with Only One Plan.

19:43 Roscommon Handicap Hurdle 24f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (4/1 +11%) Steps Match	4 4/1(+11%)	(4) Steps Match 4/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Fifth of 16 in handicap chase at Wexford (25.3f, good to soft, 8/1) 20 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Blinkers back on. Not completely dismissed. Engaged 4.55 Sligo Sunday. Whilst 1-19, he was in good form in defeat chasing last summer; decent effort at Wexford.
2	3 2nd (3) (3.33/1 -67%) Kilmurry Jj	3.33 3.33/1(-67%)	(3) Kilmurry Jj 3.33/1, 16/1, creditable second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21.1f, good) 38 days ago. Enters calculations. Not raced much and getting there, a neck between he and victory at Tramore; up 3lb.
3	14 3rd (14) (3.5/1 -27%) Ocean Legacy	3.5 3.5/1(-27%)	(14) Ocean Legacy 3.5/1, Latest win in chase at Downpatrick in May. Pulled up in handicap chase at Punchestown (24f, good, 6/1) 30 days ago, not fluent tenth. Switches from chase to hurdles. Potentially well treated in this sphere. Had legitimate excuse for Punchestown flop latest and won two of previous three chasing.
4	9 4th (9) (16/1 +20%) Rebel Ruler	16 16/1(+20%)	(9) Rebel Ruler 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1 and blinkered for 1st time, eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel. Off 14 months. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving David Kenneth Budds. Plenty to prove. Modest; new yard 6pc strike-rate last five seasons, 1-3 this term; her stamina looks iffy.
6th	10 6th (10) (25/1 +62%) Church Lane	25 25/1(+62%)	(10) Church Lane 25/1, 33/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Limerick (21f, heavy) 102 days ago. Hard to fancy. Mare has shown next to nothing; break will need to have transformed.
7th	7 7th (7) (14/1 +50%) Delias Pet	14 14/1(+50%)	(7) Delias Pet 14/1, Pulled up in handicap chase at Clonmel (20f, good, 17/2) on debut over fences 31 days ago, losing touch 3 out. Switches from chase to hurdles. Blinkers back on. Little sign of ability; notably only 17-2 in handicap chase latest, pulled up.
8th	11 8th (11) (100/1 -25%) Coppercoast Paudie	100 100/1(-25%)	(11) Coppercoast Paudie 100/1, 50/1, fifteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Cork (19f, heavy). Off 8 months. Up in trip. Unlikely to feature. Little sign of ability; previous try at 3m was not encouraging; off since October.
9th	1 9th (1) (9/1 +64%) Fill The Tank	9 9/1(+64%)	(1) Fill The Tank 9/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Seventeenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, good to soft, 50/1) 65 days ago. Doesn't seem the force of old. C&D winner; long time since he showed anything of note; great chance if restored to best.
10th	12 10th (12) (9/1 +89%) He Ain't Heavy	9 9/1(+89%)	(12) He Ain't Heavy 9/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle (28/1) at Punchestown (19.4f, good to soft) 48 days ago, losing place when bad mistake 2 out. Back up in trip. Series of handicap flops suggest another; back up to 3m.
11th	5 11th (5) (20/1 -82%) Asatisfiedmind	20 20/1(-82%)	(5) Asatisfiedmind 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 150/1, unseated rider in novice chase at Punchestown (24f, good) on debut over fences 29 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Makes handicap hurdle debut and needs to improve. Hard weigh up 7yo who raced little; handicap debut, blinkers; yard 8-159 last five seasons.
12th	6 12th (6) (66/1 -65%) Mrs Macker	66 66/1(-65%)	(6) Mrs Macker 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, broke blood vessel when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20.4f, good to soft) 138 days ago. Hard to make any sort of case for. Had plenty of horses behind her at Thurles in maiden last year; poor since and no appeal.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (18/1 +78%) Somethingaboutcian	18 18/1(+78%)	(8) Somethingaboutcian 18/1, 125/1, pulled up in novice chase at Limerick (19.7f, good to soft) 46 days ago, headed 3 out. Switches from chase to hurdles. Up in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Easy to look elsewhere. Little sign of ability; blinkers and new trip.
16	16 \|PU\| (16) (18/1 +78%) The Deecoy	18 18/1(+78%)	(16) The Deecoy 18/1, 33/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, thirteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good). Off 10 months. Blinkered for 1st time. Little or nothing to take from previous efforts; layoff and new headgear to consider too.

LTO Selection:

A wide-open contest with no standout name in the line-up. OCEAN LEGACY couldn't be described as consistent, but she has won two of her last four and reverts to flights now for the first time since February of last year. Rated 11lb higher over fences, the six-year-old should be able to make an impact in a contest of this quality. Kilmurry Jj is sure to prove popular with punters and is given second preference. Trained in Co Cork by Michael 'Trixie' Barry, he went down by just a neck at Tramore last month and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a place better now. It's interesting that connections are persisting with Stowaway Lass, who has a lengthy layoff to overcome. Trained by the shrewd Sam Curling, she makes her debut in handicap company and is probably best watched on what will be her first start in exactly three years. With Rachael Blackmore aboard, Mastermind warrants respect, while others for the shortlist are Mine Me Will He and C&D winner Fill The Tank.

This is an incredibly thin race and KILMURRY JJ comfortably makes the most appeal on account of the fact that he's the only one that arrives on the back of a good effort. Ocean Legacy and Steps Match could also feature.

Poor stuff. KILMURRY JJ (nap) has a great chance if getting home but Ocean Legacy has to have her backers also

20:18 Roscommon NH Flat Race 16f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (8.5/1 -70%) Avakate	8.5 8.5/1(-70%)	(1) Avakate 8.5/1, 15/2, fifth of 10 in bumper at Punchestown (16f, good) on NH debut 29 days ago. Not unbacked at 15-2 when a 9l fifth at Punchestown; entitled to come on for that.
2	2 2nd (2) (0.53/1 +27%) Coole Cherry	0.53 0.53/1(+27%)	(2) Coole Cherry 0.53/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 5/4, second of 9 in bumper at Limerick (16f, heavy) 6 months ago. Sets a standard that should be good enough to win this on return. A bit of a standout on her near miss behind Halka Du Tabert at Naas in November.
3	12 3rd (12) (20/1 +9%) River Robe	20 20/1(+9%)	(12) River Robe 20/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 10/1, fourth of 10 in bumper at Sligo (18f, good to soft) on bumper debut 27 days ago. Beaten in the region of 20l in Punchestown maiden hurdle and Sligo bumper; has to step up.
4	11 4th (11) (40/1 -60%) Pampar Lady	40 40/1(-60%)	(11) Pampar Lady 40/1, 16/1, tenth of 13 in bumper at Kilbeggan (15.1f, good to soft) on NH debut 81 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Hooded for 1st time. Outpaced when it mattered but showed something at Kilbeggan, beaten 14l at the finish.
5th	9 5th (9) (50/1 +0%) Zoomtime	50 50/1(+0%)	(9) Zoomtime 50/1, 40/1, seventh of 10 in bumper at Punchestown (16f, good) on NH debut 29 days ago, doing too much too soon. Signs of ability when a 15l seventh at Punchestown but probably one for down the line.
9th	6 9th (6) (2.75/1 +31%) Jekiki	2.75 2.75/1(+31%)	(6) Jekiki 2.75/1, Third of 18 in bumper (10/1) at Limerick (16.4f, good to soft) on NH debut 45 days ago. Entitled to progress and appealing type. Well related and plenty of positives to take from her third at Limerick.
10th	7 10th (7) (80/1 -21%) Super Glory	80 80/1(-21%)	(7) Super Glory 80/1, Tenth of 18 in novice hurdle (150/1) at Limerick (16.4f, good to soft) on NH debut 45 days ago. Makes bumpers debut. 150-1 when tailed off at Limerick and makes no appeal for now.
11th	8 11th (8) (200/1 -100%) Sydney Cruiser	200 200/1(-100%)	(8) Sydney Cruiser 200/1, 66/1, seventh of 10 in bumper at Sligo (18f, good to soft) on NH debut 27 days ago. Big price and ended up tailed off at Sligo; no appeal on the back of that.

LTO Selection:

It's difficult to oppose COOLE CHERRY, who has filled the runner-up spot on her three starts to date. She went down by just half a length and a neck on her first two outings, with subsequent winners behind on both occasions. Her most recent effort at Limerick over Christmas was a bit disappointing but she can be forgiven for that performance, with the testing conditions probably not to her liking. Out of an unraced half-sister to Jezki, Jekiki ran a fine race on debut in May and is given second preference with Aine O'Connor aboard. Third of 18 on debut at Greenmount Park, she should come on plenty for that effort. Not without support when fifth at Punchestown on debut, Avakate is another to consider with teenager Emily Costello aboard. Newcomers Jazzwing and French Milan both warrant respect, while River Robe and Deons Diamond are others for the shortlist.

COOLE CHERRY was doing little wrong in defeat at the end of last year and looks up to taking this on her return. Jekiki, from a top family for the stable, shaped well on debut at Limerick and should improve. Deons Diamond is worth a look having finished second in a point in the spring.

This looks good for COOLE CHERRY who pushed the classy Halka Du Tabert close at Naas in November.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
