Clonmel Race 4 - Nire Valley Maiden Hurdle
ROCKONLIAM (10) debuted under rules with a 13L sixth over 3400m at Tramore. Selected to break through for his first win. POUR ONE MORE (9) rates a major threat on the back of finishing 11L fourth contesting a 3200m jumpers flat race at Limerick two weeks ago. GETAWAYS CHARM (21) placed third beaten 11L in a 4850m point-to-point last April. Danger to all if getting a run as third reserve. CAPTAIN P (3) won a point-to-point by 1.5L during January. Claims switching to hurdles. Something for the Multiples: KOTKITO BELLO (7)

Previously second-up finished second of 7 starters at Damma House P2p on November 3 over 4828m, 25 len behind Dixie Mafia carrying 61kg. Forgive first-up failure. Recent run worth forgiving.
