Riverside City sure to improve

Riverside City gets the nap to land easily the most interesting contest on the card at Roscommon tonight, the Easyfix Rubber Products Rated Novice Hurdle.

Gordon Elliott’s charge went off a well-backed 5-4 favourite to win his maiden at Gowran Park 17 days ago, but, while the bets were landed, he was far from impressive.

The five-year-old jumped and travelled beautifully through the contest and appeared set for a comfortable victory early in the straight.
