Clonmel Race 2 - Derrygrath Maiden Hurdle
MADNESS D'ELLE (13) made a satisfactory debut for the Willie Mullins yard when runner up last month. That proved a smart performance and was expected to go close so could be worth giving another chance. DOCTOR ELVIS (4) remained off the track for a long absence before finishing sixth at Naas attempting a jumpers flat contest three weeks ago. Needs to improve on that effort however could have a future over obstacles and deserves a market check. ACHERON (1) placed on his final start in January a year ago. Not raced since and best watched. Newcomer BLOSSOM TRIXIE (14) is related to winners. One to note.

Second-up finished seventh of 18 starters at Thurles on January 29 over 3218m, on rain affected going; 20 len behind El Cairos with 68.5kg at $26. Fitter now and making headway every start.

Four-year-old filly who is first race starter by Order Of St George out of Pacific Pearl. Tough assignment at her first outing so tempted to favour others.
