Roscommon Race 6 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Median Auction Race (Smullen Series)
REBEL ASCENDANT (2) rates on top after debuting with a decisive win at Gowran Park over 1929m on soft, scoring by 1.25L from the inside draw. SIR BENJI (3) is a key chance after a strong Navan 2012m maiden win on heavy by 2.51L. NIL BUA GAN DUA (6) brings stakes-exposed juvenile form and was 3rd at Cork over 1609m last start, while DIAL ME IN (1) was 4th in the same Cork meeting over 1609m and has a prior Leopardstown win. Leading hopes are Rebel Ascendant (2), Sir Benji (3), Nil Bua Gan Dua (6), and Dial Me In (1).
