Roscommon 19:48 - w/o Ballingurteen and Revolut Ned

oddschecker Verdict

JOUSTER seems to be gradually returning to form and the addition of blinkers might help him to get his head back in front. He was a back-to-back winner in late 2024, including in a chase at Tramore, and finished a creditable third at that track last time. The Rebel County finished just behind the selection at Tramore and the Harzand gelding, a hunter chase winner last summer, is less exposed than many of his rivals. Four-time chase winner Stormy Master ran well on his first start of the year at Limerick, while Ballingurteen was second to a useful mare in a point-to-point and now switches to fences having been placed in her last two hurdle outings.

Prediction: 1st Jouster, 2nd The Rebel County, 3rd Stormy Master
