Elphin Handicap
🤖 AI race preview
The pace is likely to be slow to mid-tempo with Bullet Bourbon emerging as the standout on form, having recorded a strong 1st in a 2026 July run at Dundalk with a sharp headway and consistent positioning, supported by a high RPR of 71 and a recent improvement in class from 48 to 54, while maintaining a favourable draw of 1 and a solid 122lb weight — a combination that makes him hard to oppose in a field where only a few have shown consistent forward movement. The main danger comes from Draiocht, who has shown resilience in recent outings with a 3rd at Leopardstown and a 6th at Bellewstown, both with strong headway and a solid RPR of 65, while Givehertilxmas, making his first appearance at Roscommon, offers a notable each-way appeal with a strong recent performance in a 3rd at the same track and a consistent RPR of 63 despite a heavy 142lb weight. Angel Of Promise, a first-time appearance with a low TS of 21, and Cisterna, who has struggled in yielding going, are worth a second look due to their form inconsistencies and lack of recent progress.
