Dick Mulvanney Supporting Roscommon Racecourse Apprentice Handicap (47-65) (Div 2)
7f
Going: Good to Yielding (Yielding in back straight)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneA big run in the first division of this race by Cherry Bloom would obviously advertise the chances of BLUE WOOD, who beat her at Dundalk last time. Mark Cahill got a first win out of the Requinto gelding when he just prevailed by a nose last month in a tight finish. He had slipped to a nice mark before joining the Carrick-On-Suir trainer and off just 4lb higher may be able to strike back on turf now. Designer Cailin has run well on her last couple of starts, on the all-weather and on soft ground in Cork. She was raised just a pound for finishing runner-up last time and could be a big player again. Singe Anglais was an eye-catcher when second on his first outing for Declan McGuigan at Sligo last time and he should appreciate going up in trip now.
