Thurles Race 7 - Ryans Cleaning Flat Race
CITY OF CORK (3) Tidy effort when 3rd last start at Navan and up against weaker rivals. Jockey J L Gleeson is in top form for this yard. Among better hopes. LOOKING FOR EIGHT (5) Back from a break. Honest race when 2nd last start at Limerick and was on debut last time. More confidence with jockey P W Mullins guiding the horse. Looks promising in this race. THINKITDONTJINXIT (7) Competitive effort when 2nd last time at this venue and having second race start. Up against a less challenging field. Has to be included. BOBS HOUSE (1) 6yo by Dansant first starter for trainer Martin Paul Fitzgerald. Watch the market.

Six-year-old gelding by Dansant out of Carrig Star who has taken a long time to make it to the track. Maybe later.

Raced two times to date. At debut, didn't finish the race at Dromahane P2p December 30 over 4828m. Last start didn't finish the race at this track February 5 over 4123m. A top-three finish would surprise.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last campaign 3rd in a small field at Fairyhouse on January 1 over 3218m, 2.5 len behind With Nolimit carrying 76kg at $4. First up last campaign ran last in a small field at Kirkistown P2p on February 8 2025 over 4828m, 15 len behind Kanzler with 60kg. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope.
