Wednesday's selections didn't fair well. At Punchestown Rhythm Divine was 4th she was up with the leaders until 3 out when she dropped back to 7th she pushed on again in the run-in but didn't have enough to trouble the 33/1 winner Funky Dady who came home by 2 1/2 lengths. At Dundalk Rock The Barzah was 9th she was chasing the leaders until 2 furlongs out but she had nothing extra and weakened in the final furlong and had to watch the 100/30 chance Lightning Boltz win the race by 1/2 length.
A quiet Thursday sees just one meeting a 7 race card at Clonmel. The feature race is at 2.50 when 12 start the www.Grahamnorris.com Memorial Handicap Hurdle. Sweet Sting has won twice at Tipparary this month her last was a career best victory 9 days ago where she came home by 5 lengths and that performance means she should complete the hat-trick here. Eimear has had 2 wins from 5 runs this year her last was on this Clonmel track and over this races 3 mile distance 28 days ago where she cruised to a 10 length victory another run like that will see her challenge. The other main horse to look at is Insane Bolt who's last win was at Downpatrick back in July and his last run was a very good third at Tramore 77 days ago where he was only beaten on the run-in and if he finds that little bit more pace then he will definitely be up there here. The one who could challenge the main runners is Rueben James who's last run was a victory over fences at Ballinrobe 12 days ago moving up in trip and back to hurdling here means he should not be overlooked while an outsider to look at is Ask Heather who has won on this track already this year that was in March and she arrives here after coming a very good second at Limerick 18 days ago so she could spring a surprise in an open race.
Big race prediction: 1: Sweet Sting.
