17/2

14/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Naas (8f, good) 19 days ago, racing freely, found to have scoped badly post race. Tongue strap on 1st time. Difficult ask.

Roosevelt²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-2| J: J Cleary⁽⁵⁾| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 92

9/2

7/1, won 8-runner maiden at Leopardstown (12f, good) 26 days ago, very much having run of race. Significantly down in trip for handicap debut which is an intriguing move (shapes as if he'll stay 14f), but he can go on improving.

Forecasts

Orchidaceae (3/1), Kilmood Susan (3/1), Roosevelt (9/2), Just Before (13/2), Va Va Vroom (17/2), Powerful Lady (10/1), Sir Jeremy (11/1), Spycraft (14/1), Glyndwr (28/1), Boyne Valley (50/1)

The significant drop to 7f is an intriguing move for ROOSEVELT, but he's by far the most interesting runner here after his Leopardstown victory and can make a successful switch to handicaps. Kilmood Susan and Sir Jeremy are a couple of others to consider.
