Clonmel Race 3 - KEP Italia Maiden Hurdle
KAISER DE CHANAY (4) is still seeking a win after two attempts this prep. Does set the standard and perhaps the easier ground will bring about some improvement. FABHCUN (3) produced a debut effort at Gowran Park in January that was better than the most recent performance. Will be eligible for handicaps in the future and is one to consider. DROMBANE (2) has Willie Mullins reaching for the tongue strap after a lacklustre effort in a jumpers flat race at Thurles. Now goes hurdling with Paul Townend booked and can be taken seriously. LORD OF THE LOCKE (7) might have a future in handicaps. Best watched for the future.

Racing second-up. First race start raced on the pace prior to fading finished fifth in a small field at Punchestown on November 23 over 3419m, 12 len behind It's Only A Game carrying 76kg at $4.50. Went for a break before returning finished tenth of 12 runners at Thurles on February 5 over 3218m, slow track; 157 len behind Leonard Vallis with 76kg at $12. Forgive first-up failure. Strips fitter and pay to follow up.
