Roscommon Race 4 - Mcgowan Accountancy Services Novice Chase
WORKAHEAD (1) is the class act in this line-up. Useful with hurdles and produced a dominant display providing chase debut at Wexford last month winning by 7.5L. Penalised accordingly but difficult to oppose. WILD BILL HICKOK (8) made a good impression winning by 11L making chase debut on penultimate start. Put in his place some 20L behind the main selection on sole outing since. Worthy of respect. SCALPNAGOON (6) made the frame all three outings this spring. Breakthrough with fences probably not far away. Needs to find a bit more. TALK IN THE PARK (7) might use to positive effect his abundance of experience and is in the mix on best form.
