Roscommon Herald Handicap Hurdle (0-100)

4YO plus | 2m 7f 180y | 19 Runners | Turf

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Keith Donoghue| T: Ian Donoghue| OR: 99

Showed fair form on hurdling debut but failed to kick on afterwards and makes handicap debut in this sphere having shaped only satisfactorily in maiden chase in May.

Form: P6600-9

Fair Damsel^p⁵¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Carl Millar⁽⁵⁾| T: C Collins| OR: 98

14/1

Largely disappointing since landing a Killarney maiden hurdle back in 2024 but did show more than on stable debut without being seen to best effect when fifth in mares hurdle at Wexford (2½m) 51 days ago. Remains lightly raced in handicaps and this less competitive than her latest assignment.

Form: 140/60-5

Its Not Over Yet^p,t³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Phillip Enright| T: O McKiernan| OR: 97| CD

12/1

No win since 2024/25 but took a step back in the right direction when 6½ lengths third of 10 to Embrace The Day in handicap at Listowel in May. Down another 1 lb on the back of that and claims if able to build on it.

Form: 94045-3

Western Model¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: A Kinirons| OR: 97| D

9/1

Hasn't won for over 2 years but hit the crossbar on 3 occasions in 2025/26 for previous yard and stepped up markedly on stable debut when 7¾ lengths third of 14 to Nakassama at Downpatrick over inadequate 2¾m. Return to 3m will suit and sure to be involved if building on latest effort.

Form: 2525-83

Where Are You Now^p1³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: H Cobden| T: E Bolger| OR: 96| BF

7/2

Shaped well when second in extended 2m amateur event at Punchestown on handicap debut in January but has failed to build on that at longer trips since and arrives with a bit to prove as a result. Harry Cobden takes the ride for the first time.

Form: 8462-67

Tradonthebay²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Jack Gilligan⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Gilligan| OR: 94

9/1

Has taken form up a notch this season and did well to finish as close as he did when 11½ lengths fifth of 15 to Larkins Lane on handicap debut at Sligo last time. Has stamina to prove but no surprise were he to take a step forward if seen to better effect.

Form: 384-255

Mistyburn^p,t³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 92| D

9/1

Landed 16-runner handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan in April, albeit looking a fortunate winner (left in front last). Failed to translate that form back over fences last time, though, and improvement required if he's to feature now returned to hurdling off higher mark.

Form: PP731-6

Woodie Campelltown³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Alex Harvey| T: Rosemary Connors| OR: 90

33/1

Maiden pointer has achieved little in 4 starts under Rules and needs to improve markedly if he's to make any sort of impact on handicap debut.

Form: 2P/080-9

Chasing Crowns^p²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr D M Moylan⁽⁷⁾| T: E Sheehy| OR: 85

12/1

Shaped with some encouragement when 7¾ lengths fifth of 14 to Love Like This at Kilbeggan on return, though it's worth noting she's failed to back up promising efforts such as that one in the past.

Form: 96390-5

Katie's Casper^t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Patrick M O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 82

5/1

Ridden more prominently and left previous efforts behind when 1½ lengths second of 14 to Love Like This in handicap at Kilbeggan last time.

Form: 788-952

Written In My Soul⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Ben Harvey| T: E D Delany| OR: 82

25/1

Modest maiden hurdler who made no impact returning to this sphere in May after a couple of unpromising efforts over fences.

Form: 7765P-P

Something Simple³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 81

15/2

Made more impact than previously over hurdles when 9½ lengths fourth of 12 to Mickey Hulie in 2¾m handicap at Limerick in May. This requires more, though.

Form: 58PP-04

Road To The Weir²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-8| J: Alan King⁽⁷⁾| T: J Neilan| OR: 80

33/1

Poor maiden handicapper hurdler/chaser, who has made little impression in either sphere of late.

Form: 5/060-78

Will It Be You²²³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Brian Hayes| T: L P Cusack| OR: 79

20/1

Modest handicap hurdler who was badly out of sorts when last seen over fences 7 months ago. Handicapper has given him a chance but unlikely to be of interest unless the market suggests otherwise.

Form: 400/80P-

Moonshine Girl^p³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Miss J Townend| T: P J Gilligan| OR: 77

13/2

Long-standing maiden who ran one of her better races with reappearance under her belt when second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (2¾m, soft, 8/1) 39 days ago. rallying once headed. Place claims if reproducing that now back at 3m.

Form: 83P8-72

Queen Kulina²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-3| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽³⁾| T: E Griffin| OR: 75

11/2

Long-standing maiden who turned in best effort of the season when 5 lengths third of 15 to Island McCoo at Kilbeggan last month.

Form: 548-F83

Barryroe Madam³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Reserve 1| T: T O'Brien| OR: 90

16/1

Sole win came in handicap hurdle over 23f at Listowel over a year ago. Low-key start for this yard in the spring, though. RESERVE.

Form: 7300-00

Ladies Well^t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Reserve 2| T: A Slattery| OR: 81

15/2

Off the mark over hurdles at Ballinrobe last summer but below that form on completed starts since. RESERVE.

Form: 1608-2U

Tango Theatre^v,t²¹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-8| J: Reserve 3| T: J C McConnell| OR: 94| D

9/1

Dominant winner at Sligo last summer who posted her best effort since when 8 lengths fifth of 15 to Island McCoo at Kilbeggan on return from 8 months off last time. RESERVE.

Form: 22177-5

Where Are You Now (4/1), Katie's Casper (5/1), Queen Kulina (6/1), Moonshine Girl (7/1), Western Model (8/1), Something Simple (8/1), Its Not Over Yet (10/1), Tradonthebay (10/1), Mistyburn (12/1), Fair Damsel (14/1), Tango Theatre (14/1), Double Power (14/1), Chasing Crowns (16/1), Ladies Well (20/1), Woodie Campelltown (25/1), Written In My Soul (25/1), Will It Be You (25/1), Barryroe Madam (33/1), Road To The Weir (33/1)

WESTERN MODEL shaped well in the face of an inadequate test at Downpatrick and is taken to resume winning ways now back at 3m. Fair Damsel took a step back in the right direction last time and is feared most, with both Tradonthebay and Queen Kulina respected also.
