UK Horse Racing Tips: Roscommon

Razoul went down by the narrowest of margins at Tramore and is likely to go close again, but like the aforementioned contest 11 days ago, he might find an Edward O'Grady/Bryan Cooper/Brian Comer representative too good. Their runner, RASIYM, has posted three solid performances on the Flat and, providing his jumping holds up, he could land the spoils on his hurdling debut. Rocky Shores and Lake Chad are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Rasiym 2nd Razoul 3rd Rocky Shores

GLENDAARS WARRIOR ran out an easy eight-length winner at Down Royal towards the beginning of last month and a 9lb hike in the ratings might not be enough to anchor him if he can reproduce that level of performance. Nancy D'Alton and Lucia's Bob finished second and third respectively in a Tramore handicap 10 days ago and both of those warrant respect, while Divin Desir and She'stherightone also merit consideration.
Prediction : 1st Glendaars Warrior 2nd Nancy DAlton 3rd Lucias Bob

COSMO'S MOON backed up his runner-up effort at the Punchestown Festival with another solid placed performance at Ballinrobe and, despite a further 1lb rise, he looks the most likely winner of this event. Galilean certainly has the ability but needs to brush up on his jumping, which the fitting of blinkers might help him do, while Take A Turn, runner-up on the Flat following two consecutive hurdle victories, is unlikely to be far away either.
Prediction : 1st Cosmos Moon 2nd Galilean 3rd Take A Turn

ASK AND ANSWER went up 6lb for his first hurdles success at Tipperary 19 days ago and the son of Ask could have further progression to come with Paul Townend retaining the ride. Cherif De L'Isle makes some appeal on stable debut for Gordon Elliott, despite returning from a 557-day absence, while Hero's Welcome (first) got the better of Napoleon Blue (second) at Punchestown last month and the pair are entitled to be in the mix once again.
Prediction : 1st Ask And Answer 2nd Cherif De LIsle 3rd Heros Welcome

Or Jaune De Somoza makes some appeal on his victory at Fairyhouse in April and is expected to step up on his last run at Wexford now sporting first-time cheekpieces. Preference, however, is for 2018 Triumph hero FARCLAS, who had the first-named well held in second when scoring at Punchestown last time, taking his record to 2-2 over the larger obstacles, and he has scope for further progress. Stormey has place claims if building on his handicap fourth at Ballinrobe recently.
Prediction : 1st Farclas 2nd Or Jaune De Somoza 3rd Stormey

Competitive fare and it is only a tentative vote that goes the way of FULL CRY, who was fourth in the Munster National last season and has since dropped to a 1lb lower mark. Beyond The Law could step up on his latest fourth in a valuable 2m5f handicap at Punchestown now granted a stiffer test of stamina. The pick of the remainder may be Ellie Mac, who was still in contention when unseating her rider two out at Punchestown last month, and Ned Stark, who returns from a long absence but is fitted with a new headgear combination on his second start for Gordon Elliott.
Prediction : 1st Full Cry 2nd Beyond The Law 3rd Ellie Mac

CENTAUR is improving with experience and rates the one to beat after opening his account at the third attempt over a similar trip at Downpatrick last month. Stablemate Home By The Lee made a winning racecourse debut at Killarney last month and is another expected to show up well, despite his penalty. The pick of the remainder may be Belper Rose, who finished third behind the selection last time but reopposes on better terms this evening.
Prediction : 1st Centaur 2nd Home By The Lee 3rd Belper Rose
