Clonmel Race 5 - Monroe Maiden Hurdle
FUNICULI FUNICULA (7) represents a top jockey and trainer combination. Showed plenty of potential during 2023 in France when 7.5L second attempting a 3600m hurdle at Auteuil. Top selection. ADDRAGOOLE (1) ran well two outings back finishing 0.5L second in a 3200m maiden hurdle at Gowran Park. Big chance. MACK THE CHEMIST (13) hinted promise tackling jumpers flat races prior to a fair hurdle debut seventh over 3200m at Limerick. Open to further progress. BATTLEOFTHEBOYNE (2) rates an interesting newcomer.
