Roscommon Race 1 - Knockcroghery Claiming Hurdle

DOLLAR VALUE (6) resumed finishing fourth in a 3621m Downpatrick hurdle. Fitter and worth giving another chance. MUST MEET CECIL (7) brings strong form with back-to-back hurdling seconds including a solid run at Sligo. Hard to dismiss. ALLO AL KHAWANEEJ (4) was well held on the flat. Could improve revisiting jumps. SO DES FLOS (1) bounced back to place hurdling last start. Might go well among this company.

Useful type. Freshened for 40 days. Last outing finished third in a small field at Wexford on May 28 over 4828m, 43 len behind Lieutenant Mayne with 72kg at $17. Before that finished seventh of 12 runners at Fairyhouse on April 22 over 4224m, on slow going 32 len behind Read To Return with 69.5kg at $11. Impressed last start. Sure to be prominent again.

Racing second-up today. First-up after nine months finished sixth of 12 starters at Limerick on June 11 over 2313m, 5.5 len behind Solomon carrying 63kg at $7. Previously second-up finished third of 12 starters at Listowel on June 4 2023 over 2615m, 6 len behind Taipan with 66.5kg at $7. Definite chance. Among the chances on best jumping form.

Last start finished 13th of 14 runners at Ballinrobe on June 23 over 2615m, 29 len behind Magnetic North with 60kg at $101. Before that finished 12th of 14 runners at Listowel on June 1 over 3218m, 20 len behind Ifitwasme carrying 60kg at $23. Chance to bounce back to form that can win this race. No surprise if he played a big role this time.

Freshened for 35 days. Last start finished sixth of 12 starters at Listowel on June 2 over 3218m, 11 len behind Patty O'Farrell with 72kg at $5.50. The run before finished fifth of 13 runners at Kilbeggan on May 16 over 3218m, 4.5 len behind Malbay Madness carrying 72kg at $15. Rates well. Has the ability and can sharply improve this time.

Last outing finished sixth of 13 runners at Tipperary on July 1 over 4626m, 17 len behind Born Bright carrying 73.5kg at $21. Before that finished fourth of 7 runners at Limerick on May 22 over 4023m, 44 len behind Clonshire River with 75kg at $7.50. Sure to improve again. Hard to follow however best figures are sound and worth including here.
