Clonmel Race 2 - Rathronan Maiden Hurdle
BEAUVALLON (1) transferred from the flat to jumps on latest outing opening the hurdle account with a fifth in a Thurles maiden hurdle. Represents a leading trainer. Will be thereabouts. CROOKED PATH (4) brings plenty of racecourse experience. Placed second in a Limerick maiden hurdle two starts back before finishing sixth attempting a Punchestown handicap hurdle. Might bounce back. LOUIE'S FOLLY (9) improved from a fifth on hurdle debut at Punchestown to finish fourth at Fairyhouse last time. Expected to challenge. HUNTING GOLD (8) could improve after finishing fifth making hurdle debut at Naas during December.

Second-up today. First-up after five months finished fifth of 12 starters at Thurles on January 29 over 3218m, on a wet track; 22 len behind Charme De Faust with 69.5kg at $13. Previously second-up finished seventh of 8 starters at Compiegne on July 24 over 1600m, 9 len behind Franklin Al Gunay with 58kg at $14. Makes appeal.

This Soldier Of Fortune bred filly is now four-year-old and his having her first race start. Purchased for EUR € 15,000 (Goffs - IRE 2022 December National Hunt Sale). Tough to line up and betting is likely to provide the best guide.

Resuming after a break; at only start last campaign finished fifth of 14 starters at Naas on December 15 over 3419m, 13 len behind It's Bobsled Time carrying 66.5kg at $126. Should be improved on the run and given another chance.
