Clonmel Race 4 - Cloneen Handicap Hurdle (0-100) (Div 2)
HARTY CUP (5) turned back in the right direction last time out when fourth beaten 15L at Gowran Park. Finds what looks a very winnable assignment and must be taken seriously. KING BOB (10) was expected to go close when last seen finishing third at Punchestown fifty seven days ago. Another bold showing is expected. DONNRUA DREAM (2) produced a brave performance from a poor streak of form scoring by 2.5L at Limerick three weeks ago. Hard to fault that run and warrants respect. A market check is advised for the chances of COMANCHE MOON (1) who has not been seen for eleven months representing the Charles Byrnes yard.
