The contenders
Workahead KTB Fit 70/100
High-class chaser who made a perfect start over fences when beating Supersundae in a novice at Wexford. He has already won at today's trip from just seven career runs and arrives off a strong recent form line of 429-1. Trainer strikes at 17% here from a big sample while the jockey is operating at a more modest 8%.
Positive Energy KTB Fit 66/100
Positive Energy is a smart performer on his best days with an RPR of 111 and has won over this trip from five attempts. He arrives in modest form having finished ninth on his latest start and remains unproven on yielding to soft ground. The trainer has an 8 percent strike rate from 13 runs at Roscommon while the jockey has a 14 percent strike rate from 37 rides here.
Scalpnagoon KTB Fit 61/100
High-class performer with an RPR of 139 who arrives in excellent form after two solid seconds this season. Gordon Elliott has a 16% strike rate from 285 runs at Roscommon while Kevin Sexton posts a 10% record from 71 rides here. Unproven on yielding to soft ground and only placed without winning in two runs at this trip.
Wild Bill Hickok KTB Fit 54/100
High-class performer on his day with a recent 13-length win at this trip to go with solid RPR and Topspeed figures. The yard's modest 2% strike rate at Roscommon is a negative and the 7lb claimer has had too few rides here to judge. Unproven on yielding to soft ground adds another question mark.
