In depth

Verdict

CECIL CORBETT could give connections a quick double as his latest second to Gangster over this trip at Roscommon looks the best piece of hurdles form on offer. He'd also only found one too good at Down Royal earlier. Cadawill has been edging closer to a first victory in hunter chases but may find a few of these too quick over timber. Pack The Punch is usually thereabouts, however, while Kilkishen won a Kilbeggan bumper in the spring and is worth a market check on his first try over hurdles.
