It's Tote Connacht National Day at Roscommon with the going currently described as good, good to firm in places following two weeks of watering and just 1mm of rain since declarations.
However, there is a degree of uncertainty regarding today's forecast as showers head in a westward direction across the country. Predicted rainfall amounts vary from 2mm to 20mm (approx) and selective watering is under way this morning. Stealthy Tom and The Abbey are to the fore in the betting market on the big race (off at 5.13pm) while, elsewhere on the card, a couple of notable Willie Mullins-trained absentees are Hercule Du Seuil (coughing) and Pink In The Park (in season).
