Horse Racing Tips: Katie Midwinter's best bets on Monday at Roscommon

Roscommon, 18:48 - Back Where's My Jet E/W @ 11/112.00

6

Where's My Jet (Ire)

• J: A. McGuinness
• T: W. P. Mullins, Ireland
• F: U47F060-P

• SBK 11/1
• EXC 5.2

The step up in trip could suit Where's My Jet, who once placed second in his sole point start. He shaped with promise last season for Willie Mullins when a good sixth to Backmersackme in a competitive handicap chase at the Dublin Racing Festival, but he hasn't been able to build on that performance in two runs since.

It may be worth keeping the faith in the seven-year-old, however, as he makes only his ninth start over fences and could still be capable of showing further improvement. He showed good form as a novice hurdler, placing in Grade three company, whilst also winning twice, adding to his bumper success, and, having shown ability in the past, could be on a workable mark from 127 under 7lb claiming Anna McGuinness.

Bet of the day: Roscommon, 19:18 - Back Stoneyford Lady E/W @ 16/117.00

Stoneyford Lady (Ire)

• J: Dylan Whelan
• T: Henry de Bromhead, Ireland
• F: 89422187-

• SBK 16/1
• EXC 5.2

A half-sister to the brilliant, recently retired Captain Guinness, Stoneyford Lady is an interesting contender for the in-form Knockeen yard. She may come on for her outing at Kilbeggan in the spring, when making her return following a 119-day absence, and, if able to take a step forward for her reappearance, should be able to put in a bold bid.

Trained by Henry de Bromhead, the seven-year-old was successful from a mark of 97 on handicap chase debut in the autumn, following a promising start to chasing when second in her previous outing. She has shaped with promise as a hurdler and the best could be yet to come from her over fences.

Making appeal at the weights under 7lb claiming Dylan Whelan, Stoneyford Lady may be worth keeping the faith in as she makes only her fifth start over the larger obstacles, and warrants consideration in the extended two mile contest.
