We start winding up for a big weekend with 7 runners in Clonmel where our first runners come in the 2m4f chase which has attracted a condensed field. DEE CAPO has a 6lbs penalty but boasts a rating of 150 which is a standout in this field where Danny Gilligan has been booked to ride. MAXXUM is the senior member of this field and is relatively unexposed over fences but has plenty of quality with Jack Kennedy opting for him as his mount.

There is a brief break before we have FABHCUN and COURAGEOUS CLEO in an extended 2m3f maiden hurdle. Fabhcun has run twice so far placing 5th on each occasion. He may be more suited to handicaps but it would be great to see him get into the frame here with Jack. Courageous Cleo has a similar profile where she will probably be better suited to handicaps but we have Carl Millar booked to ride and he claims 5lbs.

Keeping up the theme of multiple runners in races we have three in the 2m maiden hurdle. DOOKS is having his first time run on the track and he comes from the family of Ashtown Lad so has a strong staying pedigree. This might be on the short side for him but it is a good starting point with Danny Gilligan booked. ONE TO WITNESS has a bit of experience having come 4th on his only racecourse appearance. Based on that he would be the pick of our bunch with Jack Kennedy booked to ride. Finally we have CELTIC ALLIANCE who is a well related filly and should have plenty of speed. She will be ridden by Jake Coen.
