Clonmel Race 3 - Surehaul Mercedes-Benz Novice Hurdle (Grade 3)

Gordon Elliott holds a strong hand in this novice hurdle. BALLY FREE (1) was a good winner of a point to point and improved scoring by a head two months ago. Cheek pieces fitted for the first time which could bring about more improvement. Rates firmly as the one to beat. LORD ROUGE (2) is the second Elliott runner who wears a hood for the first time after finishing down field contesting the G1 Slaney Novice Hurdle in January. Could give a bold show. TIMESAREACHANGING (4) looks a useful hurdler who deserves this chance and won't be far away. REBEL BUDZ (3) holds decent form though might find this too hard.

Third-up today. Resuming finished fourth of 14 starters at Punchestown on November 23 over 4425m, 12 len behind Champagne Kid carrying 75.5kg at $7. Second run from a spell won by a head Fairyhouse on December 13 over 4828m on rain affected going defeating Melbourne Shamrock with 71.5kg at $4.30 in a hurdle. Fitter now and making headway every start. Looks hard to beat

Last start finished second in a small field at Musselburgh on January 31 over 4828m, 4 len behind Absolutely Doyen with 70.5kg at $4.30.

Resumes off a 47 day letup. Last run won by 0.5 len Limerick on December 27 over 4023m on heavy going defeating Galileo Dame with 69.5kg at $11 in a hurdle. The start before that; finished second of 16 runners at Fairyhouse on November 21 over 4123m, on heavy track; 2.25 len behind Katie Daniels carrying 69.5kg at $51. Hard to have despite the strong recent efforts.
