Clonmel Race 1 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Maiden Hurdle
A point-to-point winner KOVANIS (1) debuted over hurdles with a 10.5L third in a 3300m event at this circuit. Looks capable of registering a victory racing for top connections. ST LAWRENCE'S WELL (2) followed up a jumpers flat race win at Kilbeggan with a 15L second competing in a small field 4250m novice hurdle at Cork. Danger to all dropping in distance. LE KAP (8) faded late running 11L fourth in a 3800m maiden hurdle at Punchestown on debut. Bold show expected providing his first start since June. OAKS SOLDIER (9) registered a 15L third in a 4000m maiden hurdle at this course when debuting during April. One to note.

Last outing finished seventh of 10 runners at Limerick on October 18 over 3822m, 37 len behind Run For The Border with 72kg at $201. The run before pulled up at Tipperary on October 6 over 3922m. Struggling for form and would need sharp improvement.

Was at very big odds at debut, finished ninth of 10 starters at Roscommon on September 29 over 3118m, 79 len behind Onlyforfrankie with 73kg at $81. Better for the experience but others have better credentials.
