UK Horse Racing Tips: Clonmel

MYSTICAL GODDESS may be able to make a winning start on the track for Henry de Bromhead. The Walk In The Park mare was carried out on her point-to-point debut before justifying a short price next time in Ballyvodock. The runner-up that day, Handfulofpromises, was subsequently runner-up in a bumper in England. Spick And Span ran well when third at Ballinrobe last time and that form got a boost the other day in Roscommon with the runner Mexican Moonshine winning. Marcus Furius was second on his track debut in a Kilbeggan bumper and the point-to-point winner is another to consider on his hurdling debut.
Prediction : 1st Mystical Goddess 2nd Spick And Span 3rd Marcus Furius

WORKINONADREAM may be able to gain a deserved success, getting a few pounds from the boys. The Mount Nelson mare bumped into a smart one at Wexford in late August when chasing home World Of Fortunes. That rival has followed up in good style at Listowel since. He's Ultimate looks like an obvious danger after a solid run to chase home Dee's Getaway on his return to action at Tramore 15 days ago. Ol Man Dingle ran a big race when third at Bellewstown last time and is another that has to come into calculations.
Prediction : 1st Workinonadream 2nd Hes Ultimate 3rd Ol Man Dingle

WILD SHOT has been put in here off a nice weight. The John McConnell-trained gelding hasn't run too badly in recent handicap hurdle outings, and was a fine third at Bellewstown in late August. Off his mark of 110 he would appear the best treated. The consistent Bythesametoken is rated a couple of pounds superior but has a stiff enough task under top-weight. Summer Tide is another who could be nicely treated if he puts his best foot forward. He was well beaten in handicap company at Killarney last time but should be capable of getting closer in this.
Prediction : 1st Wild Shot 2nd Bythesametoken 3rd Summer Tide

SLIP JIG could be nicely treated on her handicap debut off a mark of 102. The Flemensfirth mare won a maiden hurdle at Tipperary when last seen in May and the form of that race has worked out well enough. She improved a nice bit from her hurdling debut to win that day and there looks scope for further improvement on just her fifth career outing. Stormalong has been running very consistently and just lost out in a tight three-way finish at Listowel last week. She went up 3lb for that effort but should be a big player again. Lucky Viv gained a deserved win at Ballinrobe last time and is another for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Slip Jig 2nd Stormalong 3rd Lucky Viv

OSKAR HIGH bounced back to form with success at Galway last month and may be able to follow up in a weak enough looking contest. The 12-year-old is only 5lb higher having made all around Ballybrit last time and a similar effort would see him go close again. Sydney Cruiser was a solid enough fourth behind the selection last time. She is entitled to get a bit closer at the revised weights and could prove the danger. The four-year-old Wing Back didn't run to badly when mid-division in a maiden hurdle at Naas back in April and could be one to watch in the market on his handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Oskar High 2nd Sydney Cruiser 3rd Wing Back

BEGGARS ROCK may be able to gain some compensation here having been runner-up when well backed at Down Royal last time. The Soldier Of Fortune gelding was denied a clear run coming to the second last then before finishing half a length behind Dinoland. That form looks solid with the winner finished runner-up since. Crossing The Bar drops into this grade on his first start for Cian Collins and could be a big player having been a consistent sort in Britain. Craic Eile has been placed on his last couple of outings and could claim some prize-money again.
Prediction : 1st Beggars Rock 2nd Crossing The Bar 3rd Craic Eile

A couple turn out again here having been runner-up at Listowel last week and the vote goes to ARTIC LANE. The Declan Queally-trained gelding was slightly disappointing on his return at Kilbeggan having run a big race in a Leopardstown bumper last Christmas. It was a better effort to chase home Champagne Kid eight days ago and he can get his head in front now. Prove Yourself was beaten by the experienced Cappucino at the Kerry venue 11 days ago on his return to action. He's entitled to be a big player now with that run under his belt. Bayrann was a couple of places behind Prove Yourself last time and looks place material.
Prediction : 1st Artic Lane 2nd Prove Yourself 3rd Bayrann
