BBQ Evening At Clonmel Races Mares Handicap Hurdle (80-102)

Off time: 18:15 | Winning time: 3m 46.20s

Dualla Time²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Liam Quinlan⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 102| C

5/1

Off the mark for connections at the fifth time of asking over hurdles when landing a Clonmel maiden over 2m4f on good ground last month. Should go well again on handicap debut, dropping in trip.

Form: F554-41

Isabel's Gold^v1⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: J Queally| OR: 102

14/1

Won her maiden hurdle in August but form has been a little hit and miss since including finishing last of five at Tramore on Saturday. First time visor unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Form: 26707-5

Walking In Memphis²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: J M Moore| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 99

5/1

Out a run of many disappointments behind her with a career best second of eight beaten 4¾L in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle over 2m3f last month on first start for Champion hurdle winning yard. Could be of interest on handicap debut.

Form: P8U00-2

Aunty Audrey^h⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr D Kiely⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Flynn| OR: 97

9/1

Six race maiden hurdler, while not disgraced in her starts the distance of defeat is becoming a concern, including when finishing fifth of 12 beaten 12L at Tramore on Saturday. Liable to find a couple stronger.

Form: 8907-35

Lucky Phil^t¹⁹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: B J Cooper| T: T Cooper| OR: 96

14/1

Difficult to assess five-race maiden hurdler who has been sending out a number of mixed signals in engagements towards the end of the year. Will possibly need the run on return to action.

Form: 032539-

So Enjoy^b²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Danny Mullins| T: J Nash| OR: 101

12/1

Solid and consistent seven-race maiden who has been running well ion defeat in a number of starts since the turn of the year. Third of 10 in a Grade 3 contest at Cheltenham in April and could go well again.

Form: 64433-2

Perle Rose^p,t⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr D G Whelan⁽⁷⁾| T: V Halley| OR: 89

22/1

Seven-race maiden over hurdles, including on handicap debut at Tramore last month and has not shown much in recent starts in point-to-points; would be a surprise winner.

Form: 70346-8

Slainte And Thanks⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Phillip Enright| T: G Ahern| OR: 89| CD

7/1

One from 15 over hurdles with her sole win coming over C&D in this contest 12 months ago. Form on the Flat and over timber since renders the mare hard to fancy here.

Form: 6629-F7

Cailean's Angel²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: K J Brouder⁽⁵⁾| T: E F Gallagher| OR: 86| BF

4/1

Without a win in nine starts over hurdles including a 6¼L defeat in a Clonmel handicap last month. That was the Getaway mares' best performance for a while and a repeat of that form should see her in the hunt for prize money.

Form: 4P405-5

Slippery Slope¹⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Darragh O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: E J O'Grady| OR: 85

20/1

Will have disappointed influential connections in a series of dismal efforts over hurdles including when pulling up on latest start at Limerick when tailed off. Possibly best watched on return to the track unless the market suggests otherwise.

Form: P0980P-

Courtin Bb⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: M Hamill⁽³⁾| T: P J Duffy| OR: 82

6/1

Getting back to something like her old form in a couple of starts at Tramore last month but has a little to prove, given her previous form at this trip.

Form: 959-832

Non-Runners

Stolen Moment¹⁵

Weight: 10-10| Age: 6

Forecasts

Cailean's Angel (4/1), Walking In Memphis (5/1), Dualla Time (5/1), Courtin Bb (6/1), Slainte And Thanks (7/1), Aunty Audrey (9/1), So Enjoy (12/1), Lucky Phil (14/1), Isabel's Gold (14/1), Slippery Slope (20/1), Perle Rose (22/1), Stolen Moment (25/1), Josie Wing (50/1)

Now in the winning mood, DUALLA TIME can land the spoils here, adding to her 6L win at Clonmel last month. The Cloudings mare won in good fashion and can defy top weight holding off the potential challenge of Tramore runner-up Courtin Bb, who can emerge as the biggest danger. Last time out beaten favourite, Cailean's Angel and the filly, So Enjoy can battle for the minor honours.
