3/8/21 Roscommon

 It wasn't a bad start to the week for my picks,at Naas Ever Given was 4th. The 7/2 chance was prominent in a near side group and had every chance from a furlong out however he kept on well without threatening with the 15/8 favourite Sacred Bridge winning by 1/2 a length. At Cork Peregrine Run was 2nd,the 6/5 favourite was 4th at halfway moving up to 3rd 4 out. A mistake at the last meant he had nothing extra on the run-in allowing the 9/4 shot Go Another One to go clear and come home by 10 lengths.

 There are 7 races at Roscommon on Tuesday and the standout contest is the 6.40 when 10 start the Boyle Beginners Chase. Alice Avril was a good winner over hurdles in France and after 6 months off she was an encouraging 3rd in a maiden at Limerick on her Irish debut 24 days ago,she can do much better and should show that here. Cerberus is a useful hurdler who was an eye-catching fifth at Wexford at the beginning of last month,he has more to offer and is the main threat. Poseidon was disappointing on his chase debut at Wexford finishing 7th but he was much better when 2nd at Tipperary 16 days ago and that performance gives him a good chance. Battle Of Actium has been a winner over hurdles but was below form when 5th at Tipperary last time,he goes significantly down in trip to make his chase debut and can go well. Of the rest Santana Plessis looks good a useful hurdler who was going well on his chase debut at Tipperary 16 days ago before un seating his rider 4 out. He has potential and can't be overlooked.

Big race prediction: 10: Alice Avril.
