Dev poised to follow up

DE VALIRA is the nap choice in a fascinating Grade 3 Kilbegnet EBF Novice Chase at Roscommon this afternoon.

A horse who has had his share of problems over the years, he will arrive now on the back of a decent effort at the Listowel festival.

James Morrissey’s charge produced a fine exhibition of jumping and staying power to easily beat Blazing Beacon and Toomdeely at the Kerry venue.

The form appears decent, with both of his immediate victims going on to win next time.

Dr Whizz has a big rating at 135, but his jumping continues to give cause for concern and he is passed over.

Cathodine Cayras is a most interesting French challenger and all we really know about him is that he jumps well and likes to front-run.

The biggest worry, however, may well be Shop Dj, last seen when winning a Grade 3 novice hurdle for mares by 13 lengths at Fairyhouse in early May.
