UK Horse Racing Tips: Clonmel

LIVIA CELESTE may prove good enough with Hugh Horgan taking 7lb off her back. The Galileo filly didn't have the clearest run when fifth over a similar trip in Gowran Park, but may be better judged on her previous fourth over 1m at the Curragh. She was beaten less than two lengths and a couple of winners have come out of that contest. Any Dream Will Do sets the standard with a mark of 82. She has a couple of runner-up finishes in the book, but wasn't at her best in fifth when dropped in trip at Tipperary in early August. She is likely to do much better. Carnival Girl was a big market drifter on her Irish debut at Dundalk but shaped well in third, beaten less than a length. Silent Prayer, in a new visor, and A Shin Undine, who wasn't been beaten far on her last couple of starts, merit respect.
Prediction : 1st Livia Celeste 2nd Any Dream Will Do 3rd Carnival Girl

Listed hurdle winner SIX FEET APART can make the breakthrough on the Flat. She had been off for nearly six months after falling in a Grade 3 juvenile hurdle at Fairyhouse in February before reappearing on the Flat in Tramore. She should come on plenty from that third place over 1m4f. There are races to be won with her in this discipline and Jake Coen claims a more-than-handy 5lb. Weddell Sea was more than capable on the Flat in France as he was placed five times. He has been in good nick over hurdles in Ireland this year, winning a maiden hurdle in Roscommon and posting a pair of runner-up finishes. He is a dangerous opponent with Colin Keane booked. Roman Bull was beaten a neck into second on fast ground at Limerick in July, which gives him claims.
Prediction : 1st Six Feet Apart 2nd Weddell Sea 3rd Roman Bull

GRIZABELLA reverts to the Flat with bright prospects. She won a fast-ground claimer at Fairyhouse in July, which saw her switch to Shark Hanlon. She then made up plenty of ground for fifth in a slightly better grade at the Galway Festival before occupying the same position on her hurdling debut at Killarney. Vlad The Impaler finished fourth under Wayne Lordan in Dundalk and the pair are reunited. He gets a first-time tongue-strap and can get in the mix. Sioux Princess showed more in sixth at Sligo and the form has been franked. She is a potential improver.
Prediction : 1st Grizabella 2nd Vlad The Impaler 3rd Sioux Princess

Connections were eyeing premier handicaps after KOJIN got off the mark and he looks to have solid credentials for this assignment. A 4lb rise for winning that maiden by a length doesn't look excessive and Sam Ewing claims 3lb once again. He clearly relished that better ground in Tramore. One Small Step is a fast-ground horse and won a nice handicap in Gowran Park. These waters aren't as deep, so she is worth considering. Ms Eagleton is a consistent sort and her victory came over an almost identical trip at Ballinrobe. Jessica Maye's 10lb claim puts Coill Na Sionainne on an appealing mark, while Dartington knows where the winning post is and it is interesting to see Colin Keane booked.
Prediction : 1st Kojin 2nd One Small Step 3rd Ms Eagleton

Jamie Powell is having a breakthrough season in the saddle and he might be able to conjure a win from long-standing maiden DAZZLING SPIRIT. She was a never-nearer fifth at Sligo and the winner franked the form at Killarney. Out On Friday is a prominent racer and is drawn to go forward from stall three. He has gone up 4lb for holding on by a head in Gowran Park but, crucially, he remains in the same 47-65 grade. Matilda With Me was a fair fourth behind Out On Friday when beaten less than two lengths, and 10lb claimer Sarah Verling gets the leg-up again. There is no doubt that she is on a very handy mark with the claim factored in and she has an each-way chance.
Prediction : 1st Dazzling Spirit 2nd Matilda With Me 3rd Out On Friday

HARRY'S LEGACY could pick up his third success of the season. Henry de Bromhead's charge has been in fine form since moving up to staying trips, with victories clocked up in Leopardstown and Killarney. The runner-up in Leopardstown came out and won the Ladies' Derby at the Curragh, while the runner-up in Killarney filled the same position in the Galway Hurdle, so the form is strong. Harry's Legacy earned a crack at a 45,000-euro handicap in Killarney and wasn't beaten far into fourth on his last start. Monas Melody got her ground in Bellewstown and took full advantage with a solid performance to land a qualified riders' handicap. The top-weight has to rate a threat. Vischio was dominant in a handicap hurdle at Tramore and has a couple of victories over an extended 1m5f at Gowran Park in her locker. She will have her supporters off bottom weight.
Prediction : 1st Harrys Legacy 2nd Monas Melody 3rd Vischio

IMPERIAL CHOICE is very hard to get away from after hacking up by five lengths over 1m6f at Navan last week. She is due to go 15lb for that success, but is turned out again quickly under the 7lb penalty. She should be fairly fresh as she didn't have a tough race. The Abbey won a handicap hurdle at this venue in May and isn't on a bad mark for his return to the Flat. Buttons And Bows was placed in a Tramore maiden over 2m in August last year. Vocito is markedly up in trip on the Flat.
Prediction : 1st Imperial Choice 2nd The Abbey 3rd Buttons And Bows
