The midweek meeting saw my pick Meishar finish 4th. The 11/4 favourite was 3rd early and moved into 2nd just over a furlong out. He had no extra dropping to 4th inside the final furlong, the race was won by Brushwork who beat Adams Barbour by a neck.
Seven races take place at Clonmel on Thursday where the main event is the 1.50 when 5 begin the Munster Hurdle. Classic Getaway made light work of his rivals when taking a bumper by 15 lengths on debut at Tipperary back in May. This exciting prospect switches to hurdles on his return and despite going up in trip he can maintain his 100% record. Uhtred is a useful hurdler who's latest win came at Naas in early November. He fell at the 6th on his last outing at Limerick 11 days ago but his stable is in good form and he should challenge. The other to keep an eye on is Cash Back who was a very smart chaser in the 2019/20 season, wins at Navan and Naas were followed up by a second behind Notebook at Leopardstown. However his jumping went off the boil after a fall in the Arkle at Cheltenham. He also hit the deck in the Poplar Square Chase and the 2020 running of the Hilly Way Chase. He returned to finish 4th in last months renewal at Cork in a run that was needed and he can’t be ruled out here.
Big race prediction: 5: Classic Getaway.
