Roscommon Race 5 - Athlone Handicap (Div 2)
CLONBUN (4) rates on top after winning last start at Gowran Park over 1572m, scoring narrowly and now drops slightly in trip with blinkers on. ONE COOL BEAR (9) is a key chance off a solid 4th at Naas over 1193m two weeks ago and a narrow 2nd over 1408m at Dundalk in February. SUNRISE ANGEL (8) has useful juvenile form, including 2nd at the Curragh over 1408m, and can feature back to this trip. RUNNING POINT (1) resumes but brings reliable 2yo form, including 2nd at Naas over 1408m and 3rd at Down Royal over 1431m.
