Wests Awake hat-trick bid

Roscommon on a Monday evening is a sure sign of summer and the first fixture of 2004 at the western venue features Wests Awake's hat-trick bid in the Frank Hannon Chase.

Wests Awake followed up a Clonmel victory with success at Fairyhouse on Thursday and carries a mandatory 4lb penalty tonight. Iggy Madden's horse looks to be in the sort of form to cope with that.

Christy Roche gives his Aintree winner Puck Out a spin on the level in the mile and a quarter maiden and the six-year-old could be an option against the enigmatic Prominent Feature.

Puck Out's rider Fran Berry is on Brighterside for John Oxx in the mile and a half maiden with Joey Moriarty on the other Oxx horse Rajayla. This one ran eighth to Esperanto on her Curragh debut and looks the type that could improve with the step up in trip this evening.
