Clonmel Race 3 - Munster Hurdle
BUNTING (4) represents leading connections. Produced an excellent fourth in the 3200m G1 Spring Juvenile Hurdle last year at Leopardstown. Last seen during May when third in a 2800m flat race at Killarney. Finds ideal opportunity upon return. Top chance. Stablemate GOT GLORY (6) was unlucky to fall in the closing stages of a 4000m G3 Mares Hurdle two weeks back at Leopardstown. This is much easier. Big chance. ANGOSTURA (1) showed hurdling promise last season. Drops sharply in level resuming. Worth a market check. BYKER (5) might feature.

Third-up today. Resuming didn't finish the race at Punchestown 4yo+ HDLE on December 10 over 3319m. Second-up didn't finish the race at Leopardstown in the G3 4yo+ OPEN on December 29 over 4023m. Don't take too much notice of recent runs. %100% Fitter now and making headway every start. Recent run worth forgiving.
