UK Horse Racing Tips: Clonmel

KALANISI OG made an encouraging debut over hurdles when finishing second at Galway late last month and, with that run now under her belt, the five-year-old could go one better this afternoon. Equilibrium didn't display much promise on her Rules debut but she merits a market inspection on her first run for Willie Mullins, while Family Business is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Kalanisi Og 2nd Equilibrium 3rd Family Business

K'CHOU DU PECOS AA was a beaten favourite on his debut in a bumper at Leopardstown last December but that was a competitive contest and the son of Walk In The Park can be given another chance this afternoon. Vis Ta Loi, who is a stablemate of the selection, merits consideration on his return from a break, while Braeside and Email Rose are others who make the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Kchou Du Pecos Aa 2nd Vis Ta Loi 3rd Braeside

FOU DILIGENCE made the frame in two maiden hurdles in September and both of those performances suggest that he could be well handicapped off an opening mark of 104, especially as he may have more improvement left to come. The main threat is likely to be Crazyheart, a consistent performer who could be hard to keep out of the frame this afternoon. Others to note are Burlesque Queen and Shantou Sisu.
Prediction : 1st Fou Diligence 2nd Crazyheart 3rd Burlesque Queen

The lightly-raced ENVOL PIERJI could be vastly underestimated by an opening mark of 120 based on his decisive victory in a maiden hurdle on his seasonal debut at Tramore last month. Fine Theatre won at Wexford two starts ago and should not be underestimated despite the lengthy layoff, while High Sparrow also makes the shortlist having been successful over C&D a fortnight ago.
Prediction : 1st Envol Pierji 2nd Fine Theatre 3rd High Sparrow

An excellent race for the time of year which sees MONALEE pitched into action against the returning Douvan, who has his first run for 569 days. Willie Mullins' charge had the world at his feet during the 2016/17 season, but he has only raced three times in the last two-and-a-half years and would be fully entitled to need this outing. Monalee, on the other hand, won a Grade 2 at Gowran Park last season and finished a creditable fourth in the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham in March. Peregrine Run accounted for Jett a couple of times earlier in the year and is fancied to land third spot.
Prediction : 1st Monalee 2nd Douvan 3rd Peregrine Run

SHATTERED LOVE appeared to need the run in a Grade 2 against the boys on her reappearance at Gowran Park last month and could make amends now dropped in class back against her own sex. The eight-year-old has a class edge over these opponents and is fancied to prove too strong for Listen Dear, who was an easy eight-length winner over hurdles at Limerick just over a month ago. Kupatana also has more to offer on just her second start for Henry De Bromhead.
Prediction : 1st Shattered Love 2nd Listen Dear 3rd Kupatana

Gordon Elliott has won the last two renewals of this race and runs two here, but the suspicion is that FANCY FOUNDATIONS will prove better than stablemate Ferocious given time and Jamie Codd's mount is expected to take some stopping. He was beaten at a short price in a good race at Cork in April, but should be wiser this time and can take this before going hurdling. Tactical Move was second on debut at Punchestown but he didn't look the most straightfoward.
Prediction : 1st Fancy Foundations 2nd Tactical Move 3rd Ferocious
