UK Horse Racing Tips: Roscommon

STAR OF BEAUTY could never land a blow in a handicap at the Curragh two weeks ago but she must have a chance at this lower level. She had shown up well for much of the way when fifth in a fillies' maiden at Cork previously and the best of her runs last season came on good ground at Naas in August, where she finished a close-up third. Mo Anam Chara drops in trip after finishing down the field on her seasonal reappearance at the Curragh a month ago and she's entitled to improve on that performance. Cosmic Funk certainly ran his best race when fifth at Leopardstown last time and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Star Of Beauty 2nd Mo Anam Chara 3rd Cosmic Funk

ARIZONA RAIDER can put his experience to good use. He shaped with promise on his debut at the Curragh a month ago before improving to finish third behind possible Royal Ascot hope Tribeca at Navan. He now steps up in trip and might be fancied ahead of a number of newcomers from bigger yards. The Paddy Twomey-trained Glenade and Joseph O'Brien's Seaxburh are obvious dangers along with Noel Meade's Penny Benjamin, a half-sister to four winners including the Ayr Listed scorer Encapsulation.
Prediction : 1st Arizona Raider 2nd Glenade 3rd Seaxburh

A winner over this sort of trip at Dundalk in February, ROYAL IMPACT has since run with credit in two big-field handicaps at the Curragh. The Far Above gelding finished fifth over 6f last time and should be suited by stepping back up in distance. Jack Kearney has a reasonable draw to work with from stall six. Bella Colombia has gained both of her victories on the all-weather, but she ran well at Limerick when a strong-travelling third over a mile and looks a big player dropping in trip. Irish Rumour's sole victory came under the champion jockey at Navan in 2024. He is back in the plate on this occasion and the six-year-old was touched off on her last turf start at Fairyhouse in September.
Prediction : 1st Royal Impact 2nd Bella Colombia 3rd Irish Rumour

KARRYGRANT has run well on all three starts and might get a winning turn. Runner-up on his sole appearance at two, Johnny Murtagh's charge was third over this sort of distance on his seasonal reappearance at Navan. Sent off an odds-on favourite over 1m at Bellewstown last time, the River Boyne gelding looked all over a winner at the furlong pole before being caught late and better ground should help as he goes back up in trip. Huff'n'puff is rated only 1lb inferior to the selection and the form of his fifth at Navan was boosted twice at that venue on Saturday. Second over 1m on her only outing last year, Noble Dancer is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Karrygrant 2nd Huffnpuff 3rd Noble Honour

KILCREA ROCK has been edging closer to a breakthrough victory and can get off the mark for his in-form stable. The Wootton Bassett gelding was caught close home at Leopardstown on his seasonal reappearance and with the benefit of that run, he can defy a 4lb higher mark. Syzygy rattled up a hat-trick last season, including a win over this sort of trip at the Curragh. After two creditable efforts over a mile this season, she now steps back up in distance and looks a big player. Gotta Catch'em All is a long-standing maiden, but was runner-up three times in a row last year and has performed reasonably well in both outings this term.
Prediction : 1st Kilcrea Rock 2nd Syzygy 3rd Gotta Catchem All

SEA OF DUBKA ran well in two handicaps last month and is likely to remain competitive. Out of a Group-placed dam, the form of the selection's latest Cork effort has notably been boosted by both the winner and third scoring subsequently. Femme Beauty defeated the reopposing Musashi to win at Killarney six days ago and each hold obvious claims, despite lacking the same scope as some of these. Wipeawayyourtears finished second over an extended 1m2f on her handicap debut and could take another step forward upped in trip.
Prediction : 1st Sea Of Dubka 2nd Femme Beauty 3rd Musashi

OBSCENITY was hit with a 12lb hike after winning emphatically at Navan last month but he boasts a smart pedigree and should continue to progress. Out of an unraced half-sister to triple Group 1-winner Blue Bunting, the selection is also a half-brother to Group 2-winner Darnation. His initial form was ordinary but with the maiden tag now broken he can find further improvement. Silent Guardian won over hurdles at Clonmel in March but is respected back on the level, whilst Amplitude is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Obscenity 2nd Silent Guardian 3rd Amplitude

PROM QUEEN isn't bred for these types of trip but she took well to it when scoring over an extended 1m5f at Gowran Park last month. Out of a half-sister to a high-class hurdler Countrywide Flame, the selection's dam was a winning sprinter, as were two of her siblings. She's now 8lb higher than for that Gowran triumph but may well be good enough. Sayidah New Bay didn't get the best of runs at Ballinrobe but is more than capable, whilst the booking of Colin Keane aboard Edge Of Darkness might be a noteworthy one.
Prediction : 1st Prom Queen 2nd Sayidah New Bay 3rd Edge Of Darkness
