UK Horse Racing Tips: Roscommon

Kenny Alexander's sky blue and white colours have become synonymous with classy National Hunt mares. TELMESOMETHINGGIRL has a way to go to match many of the others to represent these connections, but this could be her big chance. The key now is that the daughter of Stowaway will be encountering better ground. Telmesomethinggirl has a lot to live up to as a four-year-old Ballinaboola point-to-point winner for Colin Bowe - following in the hoof-prints of Envoi Allen the year before. Good to yielding was the going description on the afternoon that the selection saw off a field, that included geldings, and she can now begin to make inroads into her 150,000 pound purchase price. Moll Dote and More Info are among the others to catch the eye.
Prediction : 1st Telmesomethinggirl 2nd More Info 3rd Moll Dote

BIOVERDIA would appear to boast strong credentials. She's one of those that has to shoulder a winner's penalty alright, but she's got the form to suggest that she'll be able to shrug off such an inconvenience. The daughter of Kalanisi has competed behind such big names as Gypsy Island and Bigbadandbeautiful, and those efforts came on more winter like terrain. However, she burst on to the scene with an impressive Ballinrobe bumper win on good going in the spring of 2019. Bioverdia's second attempt over flights now comes on similar ground. All seems in place for a major play. Bonarc hasn't run since November. David Mullins has been booked for the spin though, and she should be there or thereabouts.
Prediction : 1st Bioverdia 2nd Bonarc 3rd Toor Hawk

Maybe race fitness can prove the crucial factor, with such consideration swaying one in favour of ONLYHUMAN. As a 50/1 chance this Invincible Spirit gelding performed right up to scratch to finish fifth in the Lincoln at the Curragh recently, behind impressive victor Bowerman. It was much of a muchness among some of those that chased home Bowerman, and doubtless Onlyhuman will have pleased his connections on his initial appearance since a third place finish when second favourite over hurdles in March. Maybe he'll never match his Flat exploits in this arena, but from a string in cracking order this represents a nice opportunity. Email Rose, Santana Plessis, Dakota Beat and Bal De Rio will justifiably have their backers too.
Prediction : 1st Onlyhuman 2nd Email Rose 3rd Santana Plessis

SNEAKY GETAWAY was pulled out of a recent intended engagement at the Curragh on 1,000 Guineas Day on account of the quick going. Hopefully enough rain will arrived at this stage to allow Emmet Mullins' charge to get back into action for the first time since October. A classy bumper and staying Flat type, his rating on the level stands at 99. That would suggest he'll be too good for this opposition. Of course that's to forget about the fact that it's his initial attempt over jumps in public. As a seven-year-old now down in jumping heartland, you'd imagine Sneaky Getaway would have plenty of schooling under his belt. If he doesn't prove up to the mark the likes of Premium Package and Ran Rite could be best placed to take advantage.
Prediction : 1st Sneaky Getaway 2nd Premium Package 3rd Ran Rite

It was a chase success for MUTADAFFEQ in March, then came lockdown, and he was back to pick up staying Flat handicap honours at the Curragh on 1,000 Guineas Day. Soft to heavy and good to firm it all seems to come alike to Mutadaffeq, and perhaps he can further underline his versatility with a hurdles win now. He's already won over the minor obstacles and up to a mark of 83 on the level, the expectation would be that off 109 there are further gains to be accrued for Gavin Cromwell's representative in this sphere. Quamino is much higher rated over fences and he could definitely be a factor, whilst among the others to factor in are Accidental Rebel and Tiger Twenty Two (finished well in third at Limerick on Monday). A Google search of The Tartan Spartan reveals that it would complete quite the story were he to prevail, as he'd previously been presumed dead.
Prediction : 1st Mutadaffeq 2nd Quamino 3rd Accidental Rebel

OSCAR ACADEMY was highly tried in the Grade One Albert Bartlett at the Cheltenham Festival and could find these waters more to his liking. He was prominent for a long way at Cheltenham before giving best after two out on his first start for Gavin Cromwell. He's a horse that knows where the winning post is, having landed two point-to-points in Ireland and a couple of hurdle races in Britain. The forecast rain will be to his liking as he won his maiden hurdle for Olly Murphy on heavy ground at Leicester over Christmas. Ballymacaw was a 28/1 winner of a three mile maiden hurdle at Limerick in March and certainly won't be that price in his first handicap hurdle. Cusp Of Carabelli is a consistent horse who usually runs over a shorter trip, however, he has finished a close second over three miles before and can get in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Oscar Academy 2nd Ballymacaw 3rd Cusp Of Carabelli

Jody Townend teamed up with Willie Mullins to win the final race (at Clonmel) in Ireland before racing went into shutdown in March, and the pair could repeat the feat with newcomer BERET ROUGE. This looks a good starting point for the daughter of Big Bad Bob who is out of a mare who won both of her starts in bumpers. Those with form appear vulnerable, but Toor Moment could be an each-way angle. She is with Margaret Flynn now after coming home second in a Tipperary maiden hurdle over a year ago for Tony Martin. She didn't lay a glove on the victor there, but had plenty of subsequent winners behind her. There is surely more to come from Fame And Glory mare Imperial Allure after her fourth to a very-promising sort in a mares' bumper at Thurles in February.
Prediction : 1st Beret Rouge 2nd Toor Moment 3rd Imperial Allure
