4.50 - The ones to beat are clearly Ruby's Rewards and the likely odds on shot Karavomylos. However a few others are worth a mention. Trickalight has disappointed so far but some decent P2P form, STRIPE OF HONOUR has won twice here at 80/1 and 50/1 off marks of 73 and 75 and runs off 81. That sort of fluke here twice already strongly suggests a £1 e/w every time it returns may not be the worst bet of your career. 

 

The pair that most look likely to join the top pair though are RACING SPIRIT who seems best fresh and who runs off a nice mark and who won't mind any rain and WILDLIFE WARRIOR who has not taken at all to Chasing but who was competent over hurdles in Class 3 off marks around 120 a couple of years back, if not totally soured by Chasing a mark of 92 makes it look thrown in off 2 stones below previous Hurdling form.

 

Shrapnel e/w - 8 Racing Spirit @ 8/1  / 3 Wildlife Warrior @ 11/1 -: (B365 / Sky / 888 / WH / BFsb / Unibet / Boyle / Betway enhance to 4th = cracking e/w value)

 

5.25 - Looks the less deep of the Divisions to be honest and Hollow Ron and Jack The Farmer should dominate, Top Man may join them but may still just need the run, especially if bouncing after a long absence. The value may lie with ROBBIE DAZZLER who has no excuses but to be competitive off this sort of mark in the conditions at the trip and SHEILA NASH who won over Course and Distance off 90 and 94 last summer, doesn't mind cut in the ground and although changing Yard will have come on for quiet debut run and has to be of interest here off a mark of 96.

 

Shrapnel e/w - 9 Robbie Dazzler @ 17/2  / 1 Sheila Nash @ 10/1 -  (B365 / Sky / 888 / Coral / BFsb / Unibet / enhance to 4th = good e/w value)

 

 

Not too many of these will want rain and some are best on AW. 

 

Three caught my eye including the Johnston horse ARTISAN DANCER who is disappointing it has to be said but worth a very small flutter.

 

I'd definitely rate FLYING MOON as the best e/w shout on the Card all day, a Course and Distance winner including this race last year, wins off 57 and 59 at the Track and looks primed off a mark of 55 and won't mind the rain. GOLDEN VALOUR just pipped the Johnston horse as its stayed on over a mile here a few times and has a win in deep Heavy Ayr ground too over 7 furlongs. It's got the pedigree to suggest that a tactically run 10 furlongs may suit it perfectly IF it turns genuinely soft.

 

Shrapnel  e/w - 9 Flying Moon @ 15/2  / 7 Golden Valour @ 14/1 -  (B365 / Sky / PP  / BFsb / Unibet / Boyle / Betway enhance to 4th = cracking e/w value)

The 7.43 at Roscommon lacks any real depth and the top 3 really do look very solid but with guaranteed enhanced places to 5th and 3 reserves in waiting a small shrapnel bet on DELIAS PET who has shown promise and has being backed a few times and FILL THE TANK who would have gobbled these up 2 years ago and runs off a very nice mark, worth a look. Steps Match and Church Lane are in the Tracker but maybe best watched. 

 

Shrapnel e/w -: 7 Delias Pet @ 28/1  / 1 Fill The Tank @ 25/1 -  (B365 / Sky / 888 / PP / Unibet / Fred / Boyle / Betway enhance to 5th = cracking e/w value)
