5/8/25 Roscommon

 Monday's best came at Cork where Mozzies Sister was 2nd. The 1/1 shot led early but came under strong pressure at the last, she was passed soon after by Smooth Tom who won by 1 1/2 lengths. Over at Naas Jel Pepper was 4th in a contest won by Howd'yadoit who beat Summer Is Tomorrow by a nose.

 Eight races take place at Roscommon on Tuesday where there are 2 main events. 

6.20: DNC Ivan Connaughton Handicap Hurdle. 

4: Adaliz: A decent horse who achieved a career best win at Tipperary when last seen 33 days ago. He was 3rd at halfway challenging from 3 out, he led soon after and despite being strongly pressed he kept on well on the run-in coming home by 3 lengths. He should have more to offer going up in trip and he can win again here. 

6.55: J.F. Hanley Groundscare Beginners Chase. 

1: Fiveonefive: A good horse who got back to winning ways at Cartmel 37 days ago. He made progress to dispute the lead from 2 out. He got to the front staying on and asserting himself in the closing stages beating Miss Maverick by 2 lengths. He switches to chasing here and should follow up.
