Charles Kickham heads the field on a rating two points clear of Inishtearaght and well above Throwmedownsomthin, giving him a measurable edge over the dangers in a wide-open seventeen-runner contest over two miles at Roscommon. Inishtearaght represents the most credible threat and will need to be accounted for, while Throwmedownsomthin and a host of unrated runners add considerable uncertainty on good ground. Confidence is modest given the size of the field and the number of unknown quantities, but the ratings edge points one way. **Charles Kickham** is our selection.
