GUDNIS GRACIOUS ME didn't show much on the Flat early in his career but has improved dramatically over hurdles and fences and arrives here on a mark of 57 and in great form. He's taken to make a successful return to the level though Whatever It Takes will be a formidable opponent judged on his excellent run on his handicap debut at Wexford where the big step-up in trip was a factor in a much improved effort. Music On D Waters also made the transition from around a mile to tonight's trip at Roscommon and did very well to finish runner-up to Bat Masterson. She'll improve again and is on a lowly mark while Tinas Exhibition would be one to note if getting a run from her reserve spot as she loves the trip and ground.
