Thurles Race 7 - Ryans Cleaning Flat Race
Willie Mullins is once again dominating the jumpers flat division operating at thirty percent. LOOKING FOR EIGHT (5) offered significant promise two months back on debut at Limerick and is open to any amount of improvement. Could prove very hard to beat. SEVEN TOWERS (6) holds ability having placed in two point to point contests. Was third debuting ten weeks ago and might be thereabouts. THINKITDONTJINXIT (7) won his only point to point outing before finishing runner up. Worth giving close consideration as rates a major player. CITY OF CORK (3) looks to have ability. Finished third three and a half weeks ago. Not ruled out.

Six-year-old gelding by Dansant out of Carrig Star who has taken a long time to make it to the track. Prefer to let go without a strong market move.

Five-year-old gelding by Court Cave out of Shantelle Line on debut. Likely to be better for this outing.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last campaign 3rd in a small field at Fairyhouse on January 1 over 3218m, 2.5 len behind With Nolimit carrying 76kg at $4. First up last campaign ran last in a small field at Kirkistown P2p on February 8 2025 over 4828m, 15 len behind Kanzler with 60kg. This is an ideal race to kick off. Likely to feature.
