We finally get some Irish racing this week with 7 races at Clonmel on Thursday where the highlight is the opener at 2.20 when 8 begin the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Beginners Chase. Western Zara looked good when picking up her career best win in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse 33 days ago. She asserted herself from 2 out and despite a mistake at the last she won by 2 lengths and looks like the way to go on this her chase debut. Fort Worth Texas is a useful chaser who was 8th on her return in a novice chase at Fairyhouse at the beginning of last month. That run was needed after 15 months off and much better is expected here making her one to fear. The shortlist is completed by Carrigeen Lotus who despite finishing last in a novice chase at Thurles a week ago has a good chance if back to the form that saw her finish 2nd at Fairyhouse at the start of February. Also look out for Rebel Early who despite being pulled up at Gowran Park 12 days ago should improve and making the switch from hurdles to chasing should help.
Big race prediction: 8: Western Zara.
