Timeform Irish SmartPlays: Hangar Five to fly home

Roscommon plays host to racing on Tuesday.

Timeform suggest three bets for this evening's action at Roscommon...

With recent winning form in very short supply in the 17:50, Tramore scorer Invincible Don will doubtless be popular but it may be worth siding with Hangar Five instead following a satisfactory reappearance. The five-year-old is still a maiden and none too genuine, though he was thereabouts off higher marks on a few occasions last season. Probably needed the run on return in April, so this a better race to judge him on.

Bensoon (18:20) was steadily progressive late last year and looked in good heart when winning over an extended 9f on reappearance. He is selected with his stable banging in the winners of late. The four-year-old opened account in 10.5f apprentice event at Dundalk in December, and runner-up over 12f on last 2 starts in 2012. Returned from 5-month break to win over 9.5f trip at Gowran in May. Big chance.

Elijah Gardner (19:20) remains open to further progress and doesn't look to be making his handicap debut off a bad mark. He can follow up last month's Clonmel success at the main expense of Celestial Prospect and fellow handicap-debutant Zemario. The four-year-old improved for the combination of better ground and a step up in trip when scoring at Clonmel last month. Still unexposed and looks to be moving into handicaps on a fair mark.
