UK Horse Racing Tips: Roscommon

STATE OF WYOMING had excuses for a disappointing debut run in March, but he shaped much better at the Curragh on his recent reappearance. Dropped in trip and fitted with a visor for the first time, Paddy Twomey's charge could prove to be the one to side with. Resurgence found life tough at Listowel on his handicap debut, although he went close in maiden company at Navan before that and looks a threat. Karrygrant and A Good Yarn are others to note.
Prediction : 1st State Of Wyoming 2nd Resurgence 3rd Karrygrant

SELECTIVE POWER won in a lesser grade at Bellewstown last month but Thomas Coyle's charge returned the ready winner and could be competitive again, despite an 8lb rise. La La Lucrative has won on testing ground in the past and finished in front of She's Too Kool (fourth) and Mercurial (sixth) when runner-up at Listowel recently. He has solid claims on that form, while the Down Royal winner Minaun and Save The Sixes are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Selective Power 2nd La La Lucrative 3rd Shes Too Kool

Goldrush Kid won a claimer at Laytown last month before racing too freely at Bellewstown. He can go well once more but a chance is taken on BUTTERMERE RIDGE, who ran his best race for some time when third at Listowel and he has every chance of 1lb lower. Little Wing is worth a market inspection and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Buttermere Ridge 2nd Goldrush Kid 3rd Little Wing

MOVIN AND GROOVIN has won twice at Dundalk and she wasn't beaten too far in seventh at Laytown last time out. The four-year-old may be worth another chance to win on the grass. Brains has been thereabouts recently and is likely to be once again, while Zabriskie Point and Cisterna are both entitled to be on the scene where it matters.
Prediction : 1st Movin And Groovin 2nd Brains 3rd Zabriskie Point

TEOEST has shown promise in four starts all over 1m4f and may be suited by this drop in distance. The Jim Bolger-trained gelding was a creditable fourth behind Magnum Cor at this venue before beating all bar the odds-on The Austrian (won again since) at Listowel. Big Cypress appears suited by cut in the ground and didn't enjoy the clearest of passages when narrowly denied at Gowran Park last month. Saliba enters calculations too.
Prediction : 1st Teoest 2nd Big Cypress 3rd Saliba

MINELLA ROCKETT has progressed well this year and followed up a hurdle debut win at Limerick with further success on the Flat at Galway and Naas. The selection was just denied a four-timer at Punchestown last time and Reese Holohan claims a valuable 5lb. Ryefield Dasher is also on an upward curve and opened his account at Gowran last time, while God Of Power shaped well on his penultimate start over C&D and is another who is taken to go well.
Prediction : 1st Minella Rockett 2nd Ryefield Dasher 3rd God Of Power

Ephesus has a 1-1 record here after winning this last year and, although out of form lately with a distant 13th at Down Royal two weeks ago, he races off 1lb lower this year and connections reach for blinkers for the first time. Willie Mullins runners always warrant respect and the booking of Dylan Browne McMonagle for RAKKI is interesting, and the Down Royal fourth could reverse the form with Pillar Of Hope (winner) on these better terms.
Prediction : 1st Rakki 2nd Pillar Of Hope 3rd Ephesus

AUTOCRAT has tumbled down the handicap since landing a claimer at the start of the year. He took advantage of his lowly mark to score on testing going at Bellewstown last time and the six-year-old could be worth sticking with. Runner-up to the selection, Among The Pines could be thereabouts once again and he makes more appeal than Ballaghkeen, who is burdened with a 7lb penalty for her recent win at Navan.
Prediction : 1st Autocrat 2nd Among The Pines 3rd Ballaghkeen
