FormscanBy Michael Graham - There is plenty of rain expected in Roscommon and that will aid HOMME D'UN SOIR. He won his bumper by a wide margin on soft to heavy ground at Gowran Park back in January 2020. Since then, he has landed hurdle races at Down Royal and Perth. He has been mixing in good company over flights this year with a best finish of a close third at Fairyhouse. This is his chasing debut and he will be well schooled coming from the Crawford stable. The Tack Room is another chasing debutant after being placed in two of his six hurdle races. He is in good hands and a big run wouldn't be surprising. Ena Baie has plenty of experience over hurdles and has a shot on her first crack at the bigger obstacles. Custers Mistake, in first-time blinkers, and Influential Lady have a chance of picking up prize money.
