In the opening race at Roscommon this evening, the Railway Bar 3yo Maiden Hurdle, Whatever It Takes opened at the surprisingly big price of 6/1. However, it came as no surprise to see that price quickly evaporated and he is now down to 4/1.
In the second, Undertheboardwalk opened the short priced 11/8 favourite for Tony Martin and Barry Geraghty, but has attracted strong support and is now odds-on at 5/6. Bundle Of Fun having his first start for Willie Mullins had been installed the 7/4 favourite for the third, but has drifted slightly out to 2/1. Crevelea Lass has come in for support in the fifth race, the Connaught Beginners Chase for in-form trainer Paul Flynn.
The 7yo has gone from her opening show of 10/1 into 13/2 for the 2m 5f contest.
In the last leg of the Jackpot, the 7.50, Mcswynes Bay has gone in a point from 5/1 to 4/1 joint favourite with Jamsie Hall who went from 6/1.
In the finale, Whynotgiveup is the only one to come in for support so far, moving from 11/2 into 10/3.
Meanwhile there is just four early non-runners to report with What An Article out of the fourth, Island Peak out of the seventh and both Fish Called Peppa & Deep Determination out of the last.
