The contenders
Pride Of Place KTB Fit 70/100
High-class performer who showed he retains plenty of ability when winning last time out to add to an already strong profile. He drops back in trip today having been placed without winning at this distance in the past while his sole run on yielding to soft ground brought no joy. Trainer strikes at a 10% rate here from 84 runs while the jockey is operating above expectations from a small sample of 19 rides.
Will Do KTB Fit 66/100
High-class performer on his day with RPR 146 and Topspeed 144 though recent form of 0P0PP raises clear questions about current wellbeing. Drops back from 3m7f to a trip he has won at from four attempts while yielding to soft suits with a win and three places from five runs. Trainer holds a solid 16% strike rate at Roscommon from 285 runs but the claiming jockey is still seeking a first course winner from nine rides.
Where's My Jet KTB Fit 66/100
High-class performer on his best days with an RPR of 147 but has been well below that level in recent starts and was pulled up on his final outing. Steps up markedly in trip today having last run over 2m4½f which poses a fresh question while he remains unproven on yielding to soft ground. Mullins has a solid 22% strike rate at Roscommon from 282 runs though the claiming jockey has only three rides here which is too small a sample to judge.
Killaney King KTB Fit 61/100
High-class performer with solid recent form including two placed efforts on yielding to soft ground. Steps up in trip today which asks a fresh question of him while he makes his first appearance at Roscommon. Trainer has a 17% strike rate here from 167 runs though the jockey is operating at 7% from 57 rides.
Born Bright KTB Fit 61/100
Born Bright is a high-class performer on his best days with a lofty RPR of 146 and solid recent form including two wins last season. He showed promise when third on return last time but has never won or placed on yielding to soft ground from three attempts and steps up markedly in trip today having last run over 2m4f. The trainer has a 9% strike rate from 11 runs at Roscommon while the jockey is 8% from 24 rides here and the horse was only fourth when he ran at this track.
