Racing TV Handicap Hurdle (Div I)

Placed in four of her eight bumper starts; ordinary maiden hurdle form but left that behind when keeping on well for second at Sligo in her first handicap over extended 2m1f (Tea It Is 2.75l behind in third); headgear combination tried that day left on; one of the likelier winners but best form on good.

Declared for 3.55 Clonmel on Thursday; 15-race maiden was second at Wexford in July (2m4f, good to yielding) but then pulled up there and well beaten at Navan when last seen; others more likely.

Maiden was twice third over hurdles last January on testing ground; a good chase run on better ground before a lesser one since; needs his best.

Bagged his second hurdles win at Kilbeggan last year off 93 (2m3f, yielding); made satisfactory return to action back at Kilbeggan in June when a distant third (2m4f, good) but never involved there the following month (2m3f, good to yielding); capable on his best day.

Best maiden hurdle run was a 17.5l beating at Roscommon on seasonal return in July (2m, good); well behind on the Flat at Galway in August and failed to land a blow on handicap debut at Killarney last time despite being well supported into 6-1 (2m4f, good); clearly more expected of him and claimer helps his burden.
