Presuming everything stays in place, Lets Clic Together looks a decent bet to win at Roscommon this evening, a meeting where a new stand extension will be opened by the Minister for Agriculture, Joe Walsh.

That should boost the already healthy attendances that the western track gets for its Monday fixtures, and the Michael Grassick-trained Lets Clic Together can send the crowd home happy.

This filly was decidedly unfortunate nine days ago when her saddle slipped at the Curragh. Lets Clic Together was well fancied to win a handicap but Eddie Ahern was in trouble almost as soon as the stalls opened.

Lets Clic Together tracked her stable companion Bellfan to half way but inevitably dropped away, and she trailed home last to the subsequent Bellewstown winner, No Avail. Her previous effort was an encouraging one when second to Christy Senior, and even with Magical Lady and Lady For Life in opposition tonight, Lets Clic Together is selected to win.

Michael Kinane looks to be making a significant trip this evening when he rides River Gorge for Dermot Weld in the Four Mile House Maiden.

A running on fourth to the smart Mitchigan over six furlongs at the Curragh in May, River Gorge had, in retrospect, an almost impossible task on his debut when taking on Rolo Tomasi at Leopardstown in April.

Both races indicated ability in River Gorge, ability that can be confirmed with a victory here.

In the opening maiden hurdle, Lanturn, runner-up to Daisy A Day at Bellewstown on Wednesday, may score for Pat Hughes and Paul Hourigan, while in the following Elan Handicap Hurdle, Oranbay is marginally preferred.

The ratings point to Rumuz as the winner of a particularly weak-looking Lenabane Maiden, while Furnitureville's bumper form makes Joe Canty's six-year-old the choice in the Ballybeg Maiden.
