Rathlin can lead rivals merry dance

Rathlin, despite fears the trip might prove on the short side, gets the nap in a fascinating Dermot Hughes Car Sales Chase at Roscommon tonight.

There is the obvious possibility that two miles will not showcase the selection’s talents to best effect, but it is a chance worth taking.

The credit side is that Mouse Morris’ charge is currently in the form of his life, as he indicated over two miles and six at Punchestown last time.
