Monday's selection at Punchestown Mahler Allstar was unfortunately a non runner. The race was won very easily by the 4/1 chance Pure Genius who beat the favourite Fantasio D'alene by a massive 52 lengths.
Clonmel stages Tuesday's meeting where the highlight of a 7 race card is the 2.35 when 10 begin the Munster Rated Novice Hurdle. Stand Off was a winner on this course at the beginning of December in only his second hurdles race he should improve further and will go well again. Broomfields Jeremy is a useful hurdler who looked good when finishing 3rd at Punchestown on his season reappearance 39 days ago and on form he has a good chance. Tucanae had a good end to last year with a second at Galway followed by a win at Fairyhouse in November,his last run saw him fall before the first bend when favourite at Limerick on Boxing Day and if he has fully recovered from that then he will be very competitive here. An outsider to keep an eye on is French Light who makes his UK hurdles debut here after having a good career in America where he won twice over hurdles at Colonial Downs and Saratoga so he shouldn't have a problem in this one and is a good shout.
Big race prediction: 10: Stand Off.
