16:38 – Knockcroghery Claiming Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 7f | | Going: GOOD (Watering) | | jumps
This is not a deep claiming hurdle by any stretch, but it does look a race where the weights and the general level of reliability will matter plenty over this staying trip. Howdoyalikeherhome is the obvious starting point for Gordon Elliott, dropping into a contest that should be far less demanding than some of the company he has kept, while Tullyveery Lad arrives as a fairly solid yardstick if bouncing back from a below-par latest effort. Rocky’s Howya has the highest rating in the field and can’t be ignored, though he comes here with enough questions after his last run. Behind the principals, plenty have badly patchy profiles, so this may not take a world-beater to win. It looks more practical than classy, and getting the right one at the head of the market feels the key.
Top Selections
1. Howdoyalikeherhome – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Danny Gilligan | Trainer: Gordon Elliott | Form: 2PP-48 | Rating: 126 | Topspeed:
He makes plenty of appeal in a race lacking depth. That mark of 126 gives him a very workable platform in this company, and while his recent figures do not scream certainty, they came in stronger races than this one. The second in his profile shows there is ability there when things fall right, and this drop into a claimer could easily spark a revival. Gordon Elliott placing one here catches the eye, and Danny Gilligan is more than capable of delivering him prominently in a race of this nature. At 11/4, he is not exactly hidden from view, but he still looks the percentage call. Bet: WIN
2. Tullyveery Lad – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Darragh O’keeffe | Trainer: R P Cody | Form: 138-50 | Rating: 126 | Topspeed: 37
Tullyveery Lad is not bombproof, but in this field he makes obvious each-way sense. He has shown enough in the past to suggest this sort of level is well within range, and his rating matches the favourite’s despite carrying only a little more weight. The latest zero was disappointing, no question, but his earlier form line of 138 hints at a horse who can still be competitive when the race setup suits. Darragh O’Keeffe is a positive booking and, if this becomes a test of honesty rather than brilliance, this veteran could grind his way into the frame. At 9/2, he looks the value each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Howdoyalikeherhome is the win play because he drops into a weak enough claimer and simply has stronger recent form in the book than most of these. Tullyveery Lad is the each-way alternative in an eight-runner field, with his rating and experience giving him solid place claims. Rocky’s Howya is the obvious danger if able to bounce back, but he comes with more risk than the market may allow.

17:13 – Adare Manor Opportunity Maiden Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 4f | | Going: GOOD (Watering) | | jumps
This is a fair maiden hurdle rather than a deep one, but it still has a couple of interesting angles. Take The Free brings the standout recent placed form and gets a handy chunk of weight as a 4yo, so it is easy to see why he heads the market. Sea Feliz is the unknown quantity in the field for Willie Mullins and any market strength there would be worth noting, while Imarajan and Frankie’s Freebie set the standard among those with established hurdle form. The latter, in particular, has been knocking on the door and won’t need to improve much to be involved again. It looks the sort of race where proven stamina and a clean round will matter, and I’d rather side with solid recent form than chase too many expensive guesswork projects.
Top Selections
1. Take The Free – 3/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Aidan Kelly | Trainer: E Bolger | Form: 8-62 | Rating: 130 | Topspeed: 105
He looks the percentage call. That latest second was a clear step forward and it came after shaping as though this sort of trip would suit, so the move up to 2m4f at Roscommon makes plenty of appeal. A mark of 130 gives him the best rating in the line-up, and getting weight from the older horses is no small edge in a race like this. E Bolger knows the type required for these jumping tests and Aidan Kelly is more than capable of delivering him late. At 3/1 he is not exactly missed, but he still makes the most appeal as the one with the strongest blend of proven form and upside. Bet: WIN
2. Frankie’s Freebie
Jockey: Harry Sexton | Trainer: Adrian Sexton | Form: 2240-2 | Rating: 126 | Topspeed: 118
He is the each-way play because he keeps turning up and running his race in this grade. His profile is that of a horse who has been threatening to pick one of these up, and the recent second suggests he is still in good order after a short break. The rating of 126 puts him right in the mix, while that topspeed figure of 118 is a notable one in the context of this field. Harry Sexton knows him well and if this turns into a proper test from a fair way out, Frankie’s Freebie looks the sort to keep galloping when others have cried enough. Solid, reliable and very much one for an each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Take The Free is the win bet, with his weight allowance and upward curve making him hard to oppose. Frankie’s Freebie is the sensible each-way option in a 15-runner race because his form is there for all to see and he should give you a run for your money. Sea Feliz is the obvious danger on stable alone, while Imarajan also has claims if building on his latest second.

17:48 – Shanagher Hearing Maiden Hurdle (Div I)
Race Details: 1m 7f | | Going: GOOD (Watering) | | jumps
This looks a pretty solid maiden hurdle for Roscommon, with several bringing credible placed form and not much room for passengers at the front of the market. Game Point sets the standard among the 4yos after finishing third and then second, while Astelia has been knocking loudly on the door and arrives with the highest rating in the field. Luker’s Tipple also deserves plenty of respect on the figures after a sequence of near-misses, and Firebrand is another with obvious claims if reproducing his latest second. The rest need to step forward sharply, though How’s Ellie is the type from that yard who could improve. In truth, this is not a weak maiden at all, and the winner will likely be the one who travels best and settles the matter cleanly after the last.
Top Selections
1. Game Point – 5/2 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Jack Kennedy | Trainer: R P Cody | Form: 32 | Rating: 113 | Topspeed: 95
Game Point looks the percentage call. He has already shown enough in two starts over hurdles to suggest a maiden of this nature is well within reach, and there was plenty to like about that latest second. As a 4yo he gets in with just 154, which is no bad thing against older rivals carrying more weight, and Jack Kennedy is exactly the sort you want aboard in a race where timing and efficiency matter. The bare rating of 113 may not scream standout, but there should be more to come and the 5/2 on offer makes fair appeal rather than looking cramped. He is the one I would want on side.
Bet: WIN
2. Firebrand – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Daniel King | Trainer: John J Nallen | Form: 2832-2 | Rating: 116 | Topspeed: 91
Firebrand is hardly hiding from the assessor or the judge, but consistent maiden hurdlers can pay their way in races like this and he brings a reliable profile. That recent 2 figures nicely with the rest of this field, and his mark of 116 leaves him firmly in the argument. He has the look of one who will run his race again, and if the principals get into a tactical scrap up front he could be the one staying on when others have cried enough. At 5/1 with Bet365, he makes plenty of each-way sense in a 15-runner contest with three places on offer. Not flashy, just solid.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Game Point is the win play, as he looks progressive and gets a handy weight pull as a 4yo. Firebrand is the each-way option at 5/1 because his profile is dependable and he should give you a run for your money. Astelia and Luker’s Tipple are the obvious dangers in what is a competitive maiden, with Pretty Wild the interesting lurker if ready first time.

18:18 – Shanagher Hearing Maiden Hurdle (Div II)
Race Details: 1m 7f | | Going: GOOD (Watering) | | jumps
This doesn’t look a deep maiden on paper, but it is an interesting one because the obvious form horses set a fair standard and a couple of unexposed types could still jump past them. Manoir De Mirande brings the clearest hurdle form, having been placed repeatedly, while World As One comes from the Willie Mullins yard and should come on for his latest fourth after finishing second on debut. Minella Moon Shine is the market wildcard, completely unexposed and clearly expected to know the job first time, so the betting will be worth monitoring. Sestini has shown enough in two runs to be competitive as well, but this may come down to whether solid proven form beats latent potential. Tricky enough, but not impossible to narrow down.
Top Selections
1. Manoir De Mirande – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack Kennedy | Trainer: Gordon Elliott | Form: 2323-3 | Rating: 122 | Topspeed: 103
He’s the one with the most persuasive body of hurdle form and, in a race where several of these are either guessing games or have already shown their limitations, that counts for plenty. His sequence of placed efforts reads very well in the context of this ordinary enough maiden, and that latest third suggested he remains on the same level. A mark of 122 is the best published figure in the field and his Topspeed backs that up. Jack Kennedy taking over for Gordon Elliott is hardly a negative either. At 11/4, he isn’t a giveaway, but he looks the percentage call and sets the standard.
Bet: WIN
2. Sestini – 11/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Phillip Enright | Trainer: Brian M McMahon | Form: 34 | Rating: 114 | Topspeed: 89
Sestini makes more each-way appeal than most because he has at least shown he can operate in this sphere and still has scope after only two starts over hurdles. Third on debut and fourth next time, he hasn’t been far away without quite looking the finished article, which is no bad thing in a race where some of the shorter-priced runners are pure potential. His mark of 114 leaves him with a bit to find on Manoir De Mirande, but not an impossible amount, and this sharper test on decent ground could suit. Available at 11/2, he looks a sensible each-way punt in a 14-runner maiden.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Manoir De Mirande is the win play because he brings the strongest, most reliable hurdle form and doesn’t need to improve much to take this. Sestini is the each-way option at a fairer price, especially with three places on offer in a 14-runner field. The obvious dangers are World As One, who should step forward, and the well-fancied debutant Minella Moon Shine if the market confidence proves justified.

18:48 – SuperValu Co. Roscommon Ladies Day Novice Hurdle
Race Details: 1m 7f | | Going: GOOD (Watering) | | jumps
This looks a tight little novice on paper, but the market has understandably centred on the big yards. Lizzie Twigg arrives with a feather weight relative to her main rivals and a profile that screams improvement, while Dani Donadoni brings the strongest official rating into the race and sets the standard if reproducing his best. Endless Talking and The Store Boy have both won recently and add depth, though they may need another step forward to trouble the principals. Over this sharp enough 1m7f on good ground, tactical speed and clean jumping are likely to count for plenty. It is not an impossible puzzle, but it does feel like a race where the obvious quartet dominate and the rest have stacks to find.
Top Selections
1. Lizzie Twigg – 7/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Josh Williamson | Trainer: Gordon Elliott | Form: 15-1 | Rating: 130 | Topspeed: 118
Lizzie Twigg is the one I want to be with. She has won two of her three starts under Rules, including on her latest outing, and that blend of a 130 rating and a race-topping 118 Topspeed figure makes her very hard to crab in a seven-runner novice. The 7lb she receives from the three main males could be significant around Roscommon, especially if this turns tactical rather than attritional. Gordon Elliott’s mare looks a progressive sort rather than one already exposed, and at 7/4 she is short enough but still makes plenty of appeal given the weight concession and upward profile. Bet: WIN
2. The Store Boy – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Darragh O’keeffe | Trainer: Henry De Bromhead | Form: 57F2-1 | Rating: 128 | Topspeed: 116
If you want to play against the favourite, The Store Boy makes most each-way sense to me. His latest win suggested things are beginning to click, and the overall profile is better than the bare form figures first suggest. A mark of 128 leaves him with a bit to find on Dani Donadoni’s official figure, but his 116 Topspeed says he is no slouch and this shorter trip on good ground could suit him nicely. Henry De Bromhead’s horses are rarely lacking for polish in races like this, and 4/1 looks fair in a field where only a handful have realistic claims. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it straightforward: Lizzie Twigg is the win play, with her weight pull and progressive profile giving her the edge over the Mullins runner. For an each-way punt, The Store Boy appeals most at the prices. Dani Donadoni is the obvious danger on ratings, while Endless Talking is respected after back-to-back wins but may be a touch shorter than ideal.

19:18 – Sheehy Meares/Team Earley Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 1m 7f | | Going: GOOD (Watering) | | jumps
This is the sort of Roscommon handicap hurdle where you can make a case for plenty and trust only a few. Highland Earl heads the market after signing off last season with a win and is an obvious player if returning in the same nick, while Whispering Willow arrives in solid form and should give another honest account. Eyeeye and Patty O’Farrell both come here on the back of encouraging seconds, and Gentle Annie is weighted to be involved if bouncing back from a quiet comeback. With 19 runners over this sharp enough trip, position and jumping rhythm will matter, and it would be no surprise if something unexposed in handicaps stepped forward. Tricky rather than classy, but there are still a couple that stand out.
Top Selections
1. Highland Earl – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Brian Hayes | Trainer: Liam P Cusack | Form: 7/751- | Rating: | Topspeed: 95
Highland Earl makes plenty of appeal in a race where not many arrive with obvious upside. He ended last season by getting off the mark, and that piece of form gives him a more solid profile than most of these exposed handicappers. The 153lb looks workable if that success has brought him on again, and a Topspeed of 95 suggests he has the engine for this grade. Brian Hayes is a positive booking for a horse likely to be ridden with a bit of patience before coming through late. At 9/2 with Bet365, he is short enough in a big field, but still the one with the strongest overall claims. Bet: WIN
2. Eyeeye – 16/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack G Gilligan | Trainer: Paul John Gilligan | Form: 9880-2 | Rating: 110 | Topspeed: 101
Eyeeye looks overpriced if you forgive the patchy spell before his latest run. He returned from a break with a much better effort when runner-up, shaping as though he still retains plenty of ability, and that topspeed figure of 101 jumps off the page in this company. Off a mark of 110 he is not thrown in, but he does at least bring a bit of substance to the table in a race full of guesswork. Jack G Gilligan knows how to keep one organised around here, and if Eyeeye builds on that comeback he can easily outrun 16/1. In a 19-runner handicap with five places on offer, he makes plenty of each-way sense. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Highland Earl is the win play after ending last season on the up and looks the most likely to run to his mark. Eyeeye is the each-way punt at a much bigger price, especially with five places available. Whispering Willow is the obvious danger if continuing her progressive run of form, while Patty O’Farrell also has the profile of one who could hit the frame again.

19:50 – Roscommon Herald Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 7f | | Going: GOOD (Watering) | | jumps
This is a proper staying handicap hurdle with 19 runners, five places on offer and no shortage of plausible cases. Where Are You Now heads the market and is easy enough to see why, but he is hardly bombproof in a race this crowded. Moonshine Girl, Queen Kulina and Ladies Well all arrive with solid enough recent form, while Western Model and Something Simple look capable of getting involved if the race falls right. The one that really catches the eye from a handicapping angle is Tradonthebay, who has been running well in better company than this and now steps into a more workable race despite still being relatively unexposed at the trip. Tricky? Absolutely. But there are angles to attack it.
Top Selections
1. Tradonthebay – 10/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack G Gilligan | Trainer: Paul John Gilligan | Form: 84-255 | Rating: 116 | Topspeed: 105
He is not winning often enough to be called straightforward, but this 5yo has been holding his form well and his mark of 116 does not look beyond him in this company. The recent sequence of seconds and fifths suggests he is knocking at the door rather than going backwards, and that 105 topspeed figure stands out in this field. This stamina test ought to suit and, in a race where plenty have questions to answer, he looks one of the more solid options. At 10/1 he makes plenty of appeal because you are getting a horse with genuine staying handicap form at a fair price rather than paying for promise. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Moonshine Girl – 7/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Miss J Townend | Trainer: Paul John Gilligan | Form: 3P8-72 | Rating: 104 | Topspeed: 86
She looks tailor-made for an each-way play in a race like this. Moonshine Girl shaped well when runner-up last time and that came off a light enough weight, a scenario she gets again here with 145 on her back. Her recent form suggests she is coming to the boil at the right time, and there is enough evidence in her profile to think this staying trip is where she can keep finding. Miss J Townend takes over and, from a stable doubly represented among the more interesting runners, she makes plenty of sense at around 7/1. In a 19-runner handicap with five places, she is exactly the type you want on side for an each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Tradonthebay is the win play at double-figure odds because his form and figures stack up strongly in this field. Moonshine Girl is the each-way alternative with five places a major attraction. The obvious dangers are Where Are You Now, who is respected despite a short enough price, and Queen Kulina, who is well treated if building on her latest third.

Tipster Selections
| Tipster | Selection |
|---|---|
| Brian Flanagan | Where Are You Now |
20:22 – Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares (Ladies Pro/Am) INH Flat Race
Race Details: 1m 7f | | Going: GOOD (Watering) | | jumps
This looks a typically deep late-evening mares’ bumper, with plenty of unknowns but also a few solid signposts to work from. Goodgollymissholly brings the standout piece of recent form after finishing second and her figures set the standard on both rating and topspeed, so she is the obvious one. Red Sea Girl has already shown a fair level of consistency and doesn’t need to improve much to get involved again, while market respect for newcomers like Shuil Solas, Gratitudeforgrace and the Willie Mullins-trained Ronnie’s Rascal makes this more than a one-horse race. Even so, proven bumper form counts for plenty in a 19-runner field around Roscommon, and that may be what decides it. Tricky enough underneath, but the favourite does have substance.
Top Selections
1. Goodgollymissholly – 5/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Miss Charlotte Butler | Trainer: Gordon Elliott | Form: P-2 | Rating: 111 | Topspeed: 79
She is the one with the strongest credentials on paper and, crucially, she arrives on the back of a proper run rather than just promise. That recent second was a clear step forward from her debut effort and a mark of 111, backed up by a topspeed of 79, gives her a definite edge over the exposed ones. Gordon Elliott’s mares in this sphere are rarely here for a day out, and Miss Charlotte Butler has a straightforward type to work with. In a race full of guesswork, siding with the mare who has already shown she can operate to this level makes plenty of sense. At 5/2, she is hard to oppose. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Red Sea Girl – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Ms J I Stokes | Trainer: N Stokes | Form: 732- | Rating: 104 | Topspeed: 78
She appeals as the each-way play because her profile is reliable in a race where plenty may need the experience. Those three runs last season read well enough in this company, particularly the placed efforts, and she is already operating to a level that should put her in the frame if repeating it. A rating of 104 and topspeed of 78 tell you she is not far behind the favourite on the numbers, and unlike some of the shorter-priced unknowns, we know she can handle race conditions. At 5/1 with three places on offer, she looks the sensible each-way punt and one who should give you a run for your money. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Goodgollymissholly is the win bet because she brings the best recent form and sets the clearest standard. For an each-way alternative, Red Sea Girl makes plenty of appeal as a solid, battle-tested mare in a field full of debutantes and lightly raced types. The main danger could be Ronnie’s Rascal, whose Mullins-Townend combination demands respect even without a quoted price.
