Clonmel Race 3 - Derrygrath Maiden Hurdle
SPECULATEUR (5) represents a notable jockey and trainer combination. Starting to race consistently with one win and two placed efforts past four starts including placing third in a Punchestown maiden hurdle. Will be thereabouts. KILLANEY KING (3) was third contesting a 4000m Navan handicap hurdle two starts back then finished eighth over the same course and distance last month. Can bounce back. ACHERON (1) provides initial stable outing and a first hurdling appearance. Placed second previous run on the flat. May go one better. ALWAYS SCORING (2) also makes rules debut after winning a point-to-point previously.
