Roscommon Race 4 - Frenchpark Maiden Hurdle (Div 2)
ASTELIA (11) missed the frame on the flat at Down Royal. Showed promise with jumps before that and looks capable of challenging. YOUNG CHURCHILL (10) returned from a break with a solid fifth at Killarney under Donagh Meyler. Genuine contender. SPEEDY BOX (4) remains a long standing maiden. Might feature with the right ride after finishing fifth at Punchestown. TUDORISTA (16) is a yet to race filly by Snow Sky and worth monitoring in the betting.
