The midweek pick In From The Cold came 5th. The 9/2 shot led early but was passed 1 1/2 furlongs out. He dropped to 5th soon after making no further impression. The race was won by Dalvey who beat Bowerman by 1/2 a length.
A good seven race card takes place at Clonmel on Thursday and is headlined by the 2.30 when 6 start the Grade 3 Surehaul Mercedes Benz Novice Hurdle. Mr Fred Rogers is a promising horse who picked up his career best win in a hurdle at Thurles when last seen 60 days ago. He stayed on well despite a bad mistake to come home by 1 1/4 lengths, this longer trip will definitely suit and he should take all the beating. Shantreusse built on a promising hurdling debut when taking a novice hurdle at Cork at the beginning of this year. He easily won by 17 lengths and with more to come he is a danger here. The other to consider is Monishter Are Mwee a useful hurdler who has been a course winner in her career. She was a good 4th to the impressive Allegorie De Vassy in the Solerina Mares Novice Hurdle at Fairyhouse 19 days ago. She goes up in trip here and definitely can’t be ruled out. The other one to look out for is Rebel Ivy who's last win was at Limerick in December. She was a below form 6th at Gowran Park 3 weeks ago but despite that she shouldn't be discounted.
Big race prediction: 1: Mr Fred Rogers.
