Review roscommon 1st Sep
Queen Of Alba (Daniel Redmond) comes home in front of Sli Na Fiarana (Wayne Lordan, right)

Apprentice jockey Daniel Redmond found a very willing partner in Queen Of Alba as they took the richest race on Roscommon's card, the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap.
Redmond was happy to open up a clear lead almost from the start on the 14-1 chance, and though their advantage had diminished on the home turn, she would not be denied.
Keeping up a strong gallop all the way to the line, Thomas Cleary's mare had a length and three-quarters in hand of Sli Na Fiarana at the finish.
Jim Bolger's Vocaliser got off the mark at the third attempt when taking the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.
Ronan Whelan was always handily placed on the 7-2 chance, and after taking up the running a long way out, he kept up the gallop to score by a length and a half from Intransive < Ode To Psyche put her considerable experience to good use when coming out on top in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden.
Without a win in 11 previous starts, the 11-4 chance made no mistake this time, finding plenty for Fran Berry's urgings to score by half a length from Ceylon < Millington showed a willing attitude to fend off all challengers in the Bet Online At thetote.com Handicap.
Ken Condon's 7-2 joint-favourite made all under Shane Foley, answering the jockey's every call to beat Teeline by a length and three-quarters.
4-9 favourite Killer Crow had no answer to Talk The Lingo s gutsy effort to land the Four Roads Maiden Hurdle.
Barry Cash's positive approach saw him in a clear lead at the second last, and though Killer Crow reduced that gap approaching the last, Joseph Hennessy's 14-1 shot found much more to pull away and score by six lengths.< Old Theatre Royal (14-1) took the Tote Mobile Betting Handicap Hurdle under Robbie Moran.
