After a few days break the action returns on Thursday with 7 races at Clonmel. The highlight is at 1.50 when 10 start the Munster Rated Novice Hurdle. Stand Off has had 1 win from 2 runs this season that was on this course 35 days ago where he came home by 1 1/2 lengths and he should go well again. Tucanae is a useful hurdler who picked up her only win this season at Fairyhouse back in November and despite not reaching the first bend when favourite at Limerick on Boxing day she should still be right up there here. The other main challenger is Gevrey who's only career win came at Limerick in the middle of November where he was 1/2 a length in front,his last run was a very creditable 3rd at Punchestown 30 days ago and he will definitely give another good account here. The other one who has a chance is Balinaboola Steel who has already had 4 wins from 11 runs this season his last was in a hurdle at Limerick in October and even though he finished 7th when last seen at Thurles 18 days ago he could still surprise the field.
Big race prediction: 9: Stand Off.
