WHATSTHESCRIPT can get us off to the ideal start in the Irish Stallion Farms' EBF Maiden on a decent programme at Roscommon this evening.

Script has winner written all over him

David Wachman's once-raced colt performed with distinct promise at Leopardstown at the end of May and, granted normal improvement, has to go close now.

The son of Royal Applause finished half a length and a length and a half behind Howya Now Kid and El Soprano, which was a good start.

Dimenticata, runner-up behind 20-1 shot Streetofchampions at Naas, may be the biggest danger.

Feature event is the Glenman Corporation Ltd Building Contractors' Lenebane Stakes, the first Listed race ever run at this track.

The response has been very postive, attracting 14 possibilities, including Albertinelli, representing Aidan O'Brien and Kieren Fallon.

The son of Danehill, winner of two moderate contests, has obvious prospects, on his four lengths and a neck third behind Mustameet and Arch Rebel (gave 13lbs) at the Curragh last time.

Joe Crowley's Tusa An Fear can make a winning debut over jumps in the Keenan Bookmakers' Maiden Hurdle.

He showed all the right qualities when getting up close home to beat Cobham at Tipperary and Cobham boosted the form with a clear-cut success at Bellewstown subsequently.

Michael Halford's Old Parish is the interesting one in the Bumper, having been rested since finishing a creditable fifth behind Whitehills at Leopardstown last Christmas.
