Roscommon Race 1 - Garvey's Bar, Ballintubber Mdn Hurdle
RITZ PLAN (13) reappears from a six-month layoff in the care of a new trainer. Filled the runners-up spot delivering two of three outings before Christmas. That is the best form on offer. CINATING (10) was still well in contention when falling late making hurdle debut at Ballinrobe a fortnight ago. Quick return after that unfortunate incident and with a hood applied can make amends. TAKE THE FREE (6) improved upon first attempt finishing 7L sixth at Cork (3500m) last month. Might be of more interest in handicaps. Could challenge. TEX AMARE (14) is hooded here for initial hurdle start having filled a minor placing on sole flat outing. Watch market.

Was at very long odds at debut, finished 12th of 14 starters at Kilbeggan on April 24 over 3319m, 46 len behind Master Haku with 71.5kg at $101. Looks tested this line-up. Expected to improve but prefer to see again.

Was when unwanted in the market at debut, ran last at Punchestown on May 2 over 3218m, 146 len behind Crystasia carrying 70.5kg at $67. First up effort suggests unlikely to be winning.

Four-year-old gelding who is first race starter by Castle Du Berlais out of Quibble. Tough assignment at his first outing so tempted to favour others.

Last start finished sixth of 14 runners at Cork on May 10 over 3520m, 7 len behind Arouet with 71.5kg at $67. Has been racing well. Looks well placed and is a key contender.

Third-up today. First-up finished fourth of 8 runners at Leopardstown on April 15 over 1810m, 4.5 len behind Star Mind carrying 71kg at $10. Last start finished sixth of 13 runners at Killarney on May 12 over 1609m, 8 len behind Hygge with 61kg at $6. Fitter now and making headway every start. Sure to fully test this lineup.

Had two starts to date. At very long odds at debut, finished 12th of 14 starters at Killarney on May 9 over 3419m, 53 len behind North Shore carrying 69.5kg at $81. Last start finished tenth of 15 starters at Ballinrobe on May 25 over 4526m, 33 len behind Tinto De Verano carrying 68kg at $301. Hard to recommend on current form.

Resuming after a six months break. Finished off last campaign 2 of 14 runners at Naas December 15 over 3419m, 2.25 len behind It's Bobsled Time carrying 66.5kg at $5.50. First ever race start 2 of 14 starters at Punchestown November 13 over 3721m, on rain affected going; 14 len behind Highland Crystal carrying 67.5kg at $5. Consistent overall record and expecting a big run fresh.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Only had one start last when she was finished second of 7 runners at Munich on October 25 over 2000m, on slow going 0.5 len behind Plush carrying 57kg at $13.20. Capable of playing a major role.
