J. F. Hanley Handicap (45-70)
7f 71y
Going: Good to Yielding (Good in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneTALKING TOUGH has each-way claims with the rain getting into the ground in Roscommon. He looks to be on a particularly handy mark with Wesley Joyce taking 7lb off his back. The stiff finish here will suit him well. Sagittarius Rising's fourth place in Tipperary reads well in the context of this race. That effort came in a better grade and, indeed, his last victory came in 50-80 company at the Curragh. Again, he would welcome any cut in the ground. Rosie Rock has shown much more in her last couple of starts and has a shot at prize money.
