Courage can collect

Courage, hardly the most aptly named horse in training, is the nap choice to get off the mark over flights in the Sean Naughton Auctioneer Maiden Hurdle at Roscommon tonight.

He has now been second three times in a row, that’s an obvious concern, but this is a weak race and an excellent opportunity.

The selection has been beaten by some useful sorts along the way, in the shape of the Willie Mullins pair, Djakadam at Limerick and Call Me Bubbles at Navan.
