Clonmel Race 8 - 525 Yds (AA0)
SHOTGUN DEZ (1) is unbeaten in four starts, all over 480m at Shelbourne Park, and resumes after a 159-day break; clearly the one to beat on exposed form. ALIEN BAT (6) brings strong recent momentum with back-to-back wins at Newbridge over 480m, while TYRAP BUCKO (4) was runner-up at Limerick last start and has three wins from six. BALLYVERRY PARIS (3) comes off a last-start win at Tralee and is lightly raced with upside. CRACKING CODY (5) placed third at Clonmel last week but needs to lift to match the top chances. Shotgun Dez (1) sets the standard, with Alien Bat (6), Tyrap Bucko (4), and Ballyverry Paris (3) the main dangers.
