12:20 Clonmel Maiden Hurdle 19f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (1/1 +64%) Brave Fortune	1 1/1(+64%)	(1) Brave Fortune 1/1, 3/1, wasn't disgraced after 4 months off when third of 11 in maiden hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) just over 6 weeks ago, inadequate test. Sets a good standard back up in trip. Point winner; placed in 3 of 4 maiden hurdle starts; entitled to come on for latest.
2	10 2nd (10) (10/3 -122%) Lady Rose Hackett	3.333333 10/3(-122%)	(10) Lady Rose Hackett 10/3, Winning pointer who was mid-field on sole start in bumpers and ran to a fair level sent hurdling after 12 weeks off when third of 16 in maiden at Tipperary (16f, good to soft, 8/1) 6 months ago. Likely to improve, she should be bang there for her in-form yard. 3rd at Tipperary when last seen and potential improver up in trip if fit on return here.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/4 -38%) Charlie's Dilemma	2.75 11/4(-38%)	(3) Charlie's Dilemma 11/4, Typically gave his running despite being unsuited by the emphasis on speed when second of 14 in maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.5f, good, 11/2) 31 days ago. Knocking on door in maiden hurdles this summer; this trip bare minimum but has claims.
4	9 4th (9) (13/2 -8%) Ad Caelum	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(9) Ad Caelum 13/2, 7/1, made the frame but failed to repeat her previous effort when fourth of 15 in maiden hurdle at this course (19.5f, good to soft) 2 weeks ago. Best run when 3rd at Fairyhouse last month but didn't build on that over C&D latest.
5th	8 5th (8) (40/1 -82%) Rut Daniels	40 40/1(-82%)	(8) Rut Daniels 40/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, ran to a similar level as on hurdling bow after 3 months off when fifth of 7 in maiden hurdle at this course (16.6f, good to soft, 20/1) 2 weeks ago. Minor improvement with each run; beaten 21l here latest and one for h'caps at this point.
6th	7 6th (7) (200/1 +0%) Mega Speculator	200 200/1(+0%)	(7) Mega Speculator 200/1, Tailed off in maiden hurdle/bumper 9 months apart (left T. J. O'Mara after debut). Failed to complete in three points and shown very little under rules so far.
7th	6 7th (6) (25/1 +50%) Master Of The Sums	25 25/1(+50%)	(6) Master Of The Sums 25/1, Winning pointer. 50/1, shaped like a stayer when fifth of 11 in maiden hurdle at Listowel (20.4f, good) on NH debut back in June. Wide margin point winner in April but lesser efforts twice since; off 159 days.
8th	5 8th (5) (200/1 -100%) Like A Bumblebee	200 200/1(-100%)	(5) Like A Bumblebee 200/1, No impact in 3 maiden hurdles last month. Shown very little in 3 maiden hurdles so far at huge odds.
9th	4 9th (4) (100/1 -52%) Kilheffernan	100 100/1(-52%)	(4) Kilheffernan 100/1, Well-beaten fifth of 9 in maiden hurdle at Limerick (21f, heavy, 50/1) when last seen 7 months ago. Looks one for handicaps after this. Tailed off on all four starts so far and likely to need this after 210 days off.

LADY ROSE HACKETT makes her reappearance, but has already shown form on similar ground to what she is likely to encounter here and contests a winnable race. Her dam finished third in a Supreme Novices' Hurdle and while she herself won on point-to-point debut before disappointing slightly in a bumper, ran better over hurdles in May. The winner, who scored again subsequently, runner-up and fourth-placed horse from that Tipperary race had all previously won bumpers. Brave Fortune has shown promise on occasions and is race-fit, but disappointed at Kilbeggan in May and was also well enough held at Listowel in September. Charlie's Dilemma has been running consistently well on similar ground over middle-to-staying distances and again has strong place claims.

Only a handful of these make any serious appeal, LADY ROSE HACKETT selected to build on her hurdling-debut third at Tipperary when last seen 6 months ago for her in-form yard. Brave Fortune sets a fairly useful standard on her form towards the backend of last season, so he looks the obvious danger, with Charlie's Dilemma and Ad Caelum taken to fight out third spot.

There's a chance that BRAVE FORTUNE will come on from his return and both better ground and further should suit this time

12:55 Clonmel Maiden Hurdle 16f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (4/1 -45%) Stuntman Steve	4 4/1(-45%)	(7) Stuntman Steve 4/1, Once-raced maiden. 16/1, 23¾ lengths seventh of 10 in listed bumper at Limerick (16.2f, soft) on NH debut in March. Since joined Gavin Cromwell and is worth a second look in the market on yard/hurdles debut. Failed to complete in 5 points before winning point latest but form hasn't worked out.
2	3 2nd (3) (3/1 +25%) Romany Brown	3 3/1(+25%)	(3) Romany Brown 3/1, Once-raced maiden. 3/1, third of 8 in bumper at Fairyhouse (16f, good) on NH debut 31 days ago. Enters calculations on hurdles debut. 3-1 for rules debut when a promising third and should come on for that.
3	8 3rd (8) (7/1 -75%) Gino Bella	7 7/1(-75%)	(8) Gino Bella 7/1, Offered plenty to work on when third of 10 in bumper at Ballinrobe (15.8f, soft, 9/2) on NH bow in April and has to be interest on hurdles debut. Likeable pedigree and 3rd in a bumper in April; may get involved if fit on return.
4	2 4th (2) (50/1 +24%) Jeel Des Mottes	50 50/1(+24%)	(2) Jeel Des Mottes 50/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 80/1, tenth of 12 in novice hurdle at Galway (16.4f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 12 days ago. Work to do. Promising bumper 6th on debut but tailed off on recent return; needs to leave that behind.
5th	9 5th (9) (5/4 +0%) Herbies Rover	1.25 5/4(+0%)	(9) Herbies Rover 5/4, Much improved when excellent third of 17 in novice hurdle (22/1) at Limerick (16.3f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Sets the standard on that form. Shown ability in last 3 runs; best run yet when 3rd at Limerick latest; sets the standard.
6th	6 6th (6) (16/1 +0%) Pounds At The Time	16 16/1(+0%)	(6) Pounds At The Time 16/1, €7,000 3-y-o, Workforce gelding. Dam down the field in bumper/maiden hurdle, half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 23f) Chicoria. Likely a longer-term prospect. Workforce gelding; 7,000eur 3yo; likely to need this on debut.
7th	10 7th (10) (150/1 -200%) Only You Norah	150 150/1(-200%)	(10) Only You Norah 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in bumper at Ballinrobe (16.4f, soft, 50/1) 73 days ago. Hard to fancy on switch to hurdling. Tailed off in both bumper starts and up against it here.
8th	4 8th (4) (22/1 +67%) Ballinoe Blaze	22 22/1(+67%)	(4) Ballinoe Blaze 22/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 12 in novice hurdle at Galway (16.4f, good to soft, 200/1) 12 days ago. Improvement required. Tailed off on debut; minor progress when distant 7th latest but needs improvement.
9th	5 9th (5) (18/1 -50%) Wee Aloysius	18 18/1(-50%)	(5) Wee Aloysius 18/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 11 in novice hurdle (16/1) at Limerick (16.3f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Others more persuasive. Showed a bit more at Limerick last month but others have achieved more.
10th	1 10th (1) (125/1 +38%) Ben Purple	125 125/1(+38%)	(1) Ben Purple 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. Refused to race in bumper at Roscommon (15.4f, soft, 100/1) 93 days ago. Best watched on hurdles debut. Pulled up in Punchestown bumper in February and refused to race at Roscommon subsequently.

HERBIES ROVER has shown nice ability in two recent runs and has a light weight under his 5lb claimer. He raced too keenly when running well at Listowel in September and bumped into a promising winner in a useful race at Limerick last month. Being a four-year-old, he can continue to progress and is well suited by conditions. Romany Brown was pulled up on point-to-point debut, but was supported at Fairyhouse last month when finishing third. He, too, seems to be suited by conditions, although the selection has shown slightly stronger form. Gino Bella showed promise when well backed on her bumper debut back in April, but lacks a recent run ahead of her hurdles bow.

This can go to HERBIES ROVER, who upped his game significantly at Limerick last month and remains low mileage. Hurdling debutants Romany Brown and Gino Bella may give him most to think about.

This can go the way of HERBIES ROVER who produced his best effort yet when 3rd at Limerick and he sets the standard

12:55 Clonmel Maiden Hurdle 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:30 Clonmel Handicap Hurdle 24f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (9/1 +25%) Plains Indian	9 9/1(+25%)	(2) Plains Indian 9/1, Course winner. 12/1, thirteenth of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (14f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Pulled up on last hurdle outing. Not seen over hurdles since pulling up in this last year; bit below form on Flat recently.
2	6 2nd (6) (5/1 +9%) Tranquil Sea	5 5/1(+9%)	(6) Tranquil Sea 5/1, Winner at Cork in March and looked unlucky not to finish closer when third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (24.2f, heavy) in May. Can make presence felt if ready to roll. Career best Cork win and 2 good runs in defeat in h'caps since at 3m; check betting.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 -113%) Tag Man	4 4/1(-113%)	(1) Tag Man 4/1, Didn't need to improve to win 5-runner minor event hurdle at Down Royal (24f, good) 69 days ago, comfortably. Yard in good form. Makes handicap hurdle debut. As good as ever when winning at Down Royal latest; tough mark but goes well on this ground.
4	5 4th (5) (16/1 -14%) Grange Walk	16 16/1(-14%)	(5) Grange Walk 16/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Fourth of 6 in handicap chase (8/1) at Cork (17.6f, good) 25 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Significantly back up in trip. Won 4 over fences since last hurdle win in 2020 but doesn't arrive in good form.
5th	3 5th (3) (13/2 -86%) Donkey Years	6.5 13/2(-86%)	(3) Donkey Years 13/2, Ended a long losing run in 13-runner handicap hurdle at Listowel (24f, soft, 17/2) 43 days ago, suited by stamina test. Hit with 7 lb rise but could go well again. Winner last time out but up 7lb; mixed signals on strength of the form; handles conditions.
6th	7 6th (7) (2/1 +60%) Tullyveery Lad	2 2/1(+60%)	(7) Tullyveery Lad 2/1, Ran up to best back at 3m when second of 17 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (good to soft) 18 days ago. Expected to be thereabouts once again. Second win over timber in August; good 2nd at Limerick since; should go well with 3lb rise.
7th	4 7th (4) (11/1 -47%) Walking On Glass	11 11/1(-47%)	(4) Walking On Glass 11/1, 18/1, ran one of his lesser races when a well-beaten ninth of 13 to Donkey Years in handicap hurdle at Listowel (24f, soft) 43 days ago. Winner on the Flat before poor hurdle run but on a workable mark and handles ground.
8th	8 8th (8) (10/1 +55%) Regina Dracones	10 10/1(+55%)	(8) Regina Dracones 10/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 11/1, seventh of 14 in handicap chase at Downpatrick (28.8f, good). Off 6 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Losing run goes back to novice chase win in 2022; may need this on return.

TAG MAN has top weight but is perfectly suited by this distance and good ground. A previous course chase winner, he was well held when conceding weight to the smart Saint Sam at Cork in August but, later that month, defeated capable types at Down Royal and a reproduction would give him every chance. Donkey Years won at the 2022 Punchestown Festival but while he should remain competitive off 7lb higher than when scoring at Listowel in September, he would prefer easier ground. Tullyveery Lad was beaten by a nicely-in winner at Limerick last month and should again compete, while the reappearing Tranquil Sea is just a four-year-old so might progress some more.

TULLYVEERY LAD was unlucky to bump into one on a steep upward curve at Limerick 18 days ago and a reproduction of that form could be enough to see him go one better. Tranquil Sea has good claims if ready to roll on this return to action, while Tag Man also requires plenty of respect hailing from an in-form stable.

TULLYVEERY LAD arrives on back of a career best seccond at Limerick and the third from that contest went close at Down Royal last week

14:05 Clonmel Conditions Chase 21f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (11/2 +15%) Pink In The Park	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(8) Pink In The Park 11/2, Fairly useful winner at 19f over hurdles. 7/2, 20 lengths fourth of 7 to Jordans in Gr 3 chase at Punchestown (18.3f) 22 days ago (reportedly bled). Likely type to bounce back but yard look to hold stronger claims with Allegorie de Vassy. Worrying Punchestown effort latest; questions to answer at this stage.
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 -41%) Must Be Obeyed	12 12/1(-41%)	(3) Must Be Obeyed 12/1, Useful chaser. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 8/1, creditable 25 lengths third of 7 to Brides Hill in Gr 2 chase at Punchestown (20.2f, soft). Off 6 months. Sound jumping mare ideally wants more of a stamina test and softer ground; place claims.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/1 +10%) A Law Of Her Own	9 9/1(+10%)	(4) A Law Of Her Own 9/1, Fairly useful hurdler and quick to reach a similar level in this sphere, 3¼ lengths second of 6 to San Salvador in Gr 3 chase at Roscommon (16.7f, soft) 38 days ago. Back up in trip. Fancied to be in the mix. Promise both starts chasing but this a tough task for one so inexperienced.
4	1 4th (1) (1/3 +63%) Allegorie De Vassy	0.333333 1/3(+63%)	(1) Allegorie De Vassy 1/3, Dual listed winner earlier this year. Produced one of her lesser efforts when fourth in Mares' Grade 2 at Punchestown (20.2f) in May but her record fresh is an obvious plus (won this on return last term) and she holds obvious claims once more. Last year's winner on seasonal return; ideally wants it softer.
5th	7 5th (7) (25/1 +75%) Pebble Bleu	25 25/1(+75%)	(7) Pebble Bleu 25/1, Fair chaser. Improved to win 12-runner handicap chase (18/1) at Punchestown (23.2f, good) 22 days ago, finding extra. However, she'll need to find further progress to make her mark in this company. Recent Punchestown handicap winner faces stiff task but could outrun her rating.
6th	5 6th (5) (66/1 +47%) Desert Heather	66 66/1(+47%)	(5) Desert Heather 66/1, Useful winner at 3m over hurdles. 9/2, produced best effort to date in this sphere when second of 16 in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, heavy) 11 days ago. However, she's very hard to fancy on these terms upped markedly in class. Limited enough chaser and looks out of depth here.
6	6 \|U\| (6) (150/1 +0%) Maid On The Moon	150 150/1(+0%)	(6) Maid On The Moon 150/1, Modest hurdler. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, eleventh of 17 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (24f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Plenty to find. Winning hurdler in Britain; recent chase form gives her little hope here.

ALLEGORIE DE VASSY is a capable mare who won this last year. Unusually, she won her initial two chase runs in Grade 2 races before finishing second in the 2023 Mares' Chase at Cheltenham and while a fraction below that level last term, nonetheless is smart on her day and will be ready. Triple Listed-winning hurdler Shecouldbeanything landed a Grade 3 chase last month before scoring here a fortnight ago. She, too, is smart but might struggle to beat an on-song selection. Must Be Obeyed receives weight from her principal rivals and while she was having her second run in three days when finishing ahead of a below-par Allegorie De Vassy at the Punchestown Festival in May, she would prefer easier ground.

ALLEGORIE DE VASSY was below her best during the spring but her record after a break is a positive one (landed this race on return 12 months ago). Willie Mullins' smart mare is fancied to land this, possibly at the chief expense of Shecouldbeanything who has thrived in this sphere in recent months. Must Be Obeyed and Pink In The Park complete the shortlist.

Last year's winner ALLEGORIE DE VASSY (nap) faces quicker conditions but is narrowly preferred to the improving Shecouldbeanything

14:40 Clonmel Conditions Chase 21f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (6/4 +33%) Saint Sam	1.5 6/4(+33%)	(1) Saint Sam 6/4, High-class chaser. Didn't need to be at best when winning 12-runner minor event hurdle at Auteuil (17.9f, soft, 2/1) 54 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Expected to be bang there. Red Mills winner back chasing after two hurdle wins; no easy task conceding weight.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/2 +0%) Fil Dor	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(4) Fil Dor 11/2, Very smart chaser. Pulled up in William Hill Champion Chase (20/1) at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft) won by Banbridge, outpaced from some way out. Off 6 months. Has the quality to get involved if he's back on track. Highly-tried chaser with modest strike-rate; bit to prove on most recent form.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/4 +36%) Solness	2.25 9/4(+36%)	(5) Solness 9/4, Smart chaser. Much improved when winning 3-runner minor event hurdle (10/11) at Sligo (17.8f, good to soft) 13 days ago, unchallenged. Switches from hurdles to chase. Deserves plenty of respect. Progressive handicap chaser steps into Graded company here; trip plenty far.
4	3 4th (3) (7/4 0%) Fakir D'oudairies	1.75 7/4(0%)	(3) Fakir D'oudairies 7/4, Smart chaser. C&D winner. Tongue strap on for 1st time, below form seventh of 17 in handicap chase (20/1) at Listowel (23.8f, soft) 43 days ago, not knocked about. Caught the eye last time and is a definite player on form. 2021 winner of this race; Kerry National comeback run should have him primed for this.
5th	2 5th (2) (33/1 -83%) Bronn	33 33/1(-83%)	(2) Bronn 33/1, Useful hurdler. 16/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Naas (24.8f, heavy), tailed off when pulled up seventh. Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving W. P. Mullins. Lost his form last season and since joined Tom Gibney; best watched on return.
6th	6 6th (6) (300/1 -100%) Influential Lady	300 300/1(-100%)	(6) Influential Lady 300/1, Fair hurdler. Tenth of 11 in minor event at the Curragh (12f, soft, 150/1) 16 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Switches from Flat to chase. Poor on last hurdle run. Up against it. Just fair hurdler/chaser; completely out of her depth here.

SAINT SAM is likely to adopt forcing tactics and could stretch his rivals. He was in good humour over flights in August and September as he posted victories in Cork and Auteuil respectively. This drying ground won't inconvenience him at all. It is three years since Fakir D'oudairies won this race and he is is advantaged by the weights on this occasion. A return to a small field gives him every chance of resuming winning ways. He would prefer a bit more juice in the ground, though. Solness has a decent win ratio and is dangerous on the back of a handicap chase win at Listowel and a hurdle success in Sligo.

SAINT SAM looked as good as ever over fences in the summer and completed a straightforward task over hurdles in France last time, so he's the obvious one back in this sphere. Fakir d'Oudairies and Fil Dor both have the ability to trouble him if right on their game.

A race in which there should be plenty of pace, which could set things up nicely for FAKIR D'OUDAIRIES to record a second win the race

LE GRAND VERT appeals on this drop in trip. He was outgunned in second over further on his latest start in this discipline at Sligo in October, but he travelled notably well on that good ground. Jockey Alex Harvey is getting a tune from Bite That as the pair took the runner-up berth at Gowran Park and at this track last month. This is a step up in trip from those races, but he does have a placed effort in the book over a similar distance at Wexford. Crowsatedappletart is eminently capable on a going day and a big run wouldn't be surprising, while C'est Rien and Game And Glory are others to consider.

While BITE THAT's strike rate is not the most compelling, the same is true of many of these and he has plenty going for him here on the back of solid efforts in defeat at Gowran and this venue on his last two starts. Game And Glory will be a threat if on-song, while Crowsatedappletart and Rock On Pedro also enter calculations. Le Grand Vert found this trip too sharp at Limerick last time and he will be of greater interest back over 3m+.

This is a good opportunity for BITE THAT to get off the mark over fences after 2 narrow defeats last month and further should suit

RELIEVED OF DUTIES won a Loughanmore point-to-point by six lengths on drying ground and may prove to be a more than useful track performer for Gordon Elliott. He looks the one to beat. Patrick Mullins comes in for the ride on Colonel Nelson who was a fair fourth in a Punchestown maiden hurdle last month. This Mount Nelson gelding gets first-time cheekpieces. Mic Drop is another winner between the flags and showed potential in third on bumper debut at Tipperary. He wasn't at his best when next seen in a remote fourth at Wexford in May, but has had a break since then and should be in the mix for a cheque.

This is probably best left to RELIEVED OF DUTIES, who coast plenty as a 3-y-o and having won a point in the spring, has transferred to an excellent yard. Mic Drop and Colonel Nelson have already displayed ability under Rules so warrant consideration.

The standard set isn't a high bar and therefore RELIEVED OF DUTIES may be too good on rules debut after his point win

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
