4/1
Off the mark over timber for connections at the eighth time of asking when landing a Kilbeggan handicap hurdle in July off a 4lb lower mark. Capable of another big run.

Horse silk
Rebel Turn35
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-10| J: J J Burke| T: W J Burke| OR:  100
10/1
Not seen for over 12-months before three defeats since December failing to finish on two occasions. Will need to raise overall profile to play a role here.
3
Horse silk
Buttevant Boyh35
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-2| J: B Hayes| T: M Winters| OR:  92
12/1
Disappointing in three maiden hurdle starts since December beaten at least 30L on each occasion. Possibly best watched on handicap debut unless the market indicates otherwise.
4
Horse silk
Exit To The West19
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-2| J: P T Enright| T: R Tyner| OR:  93
14/1
Well beaten and never nearer in four maiden hurdle starts to date since November including finishing 50L adrift of Fakir D'oudairies at Cork in January. Plenty to prove at present on handicap debut.
5
Horse silk
Pottsieb1,t60
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-2| J: R M Power| T: M F Morris| OR:  92
12/1
Five-race maiden hurdler well beaten on the only time the Robin Des Champs gelding managed to finish a contest. First time blinkers unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role on handicap debut.
6
Horse silk
Too Much To Ask35
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-2| J: R P Treacy(3)| T: Mrs J Cashin| OR:  92
14/1
No impression on a number of dour hurdling efforts since December including a 23L defeat when finishing sixth of 16 here over 2m3½f last month. Well below par form looks set to continue.
7
Horse silk
Young Dev18
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-2| J: D G Hogan| T: D Hogan| OR:  93
20/1
Has disappointed in a couple of maiden hurdle starts at Navan and Naas over further last month but repeat of runs at Thurles and Fairyhouse earlier over this trip could see the gelding in the hunt for place money.
8
Horse silk
Percy B Shelley39
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-0| J: S W Flanagan| T: N Meade| OR:  91
12/1
Well held and never nearer in a number of desolate efforts over hurdles since November including a 12L defeat at Naas on handicap hurdle debut finishing 14th of 19 last month. Needs to improve on even his best form here.
9
Horse silk
Basil's Boy19
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-13| J: D F O'Regan| T: L P Cusack| OR:  90
20/1
Nothing of note in a series of disappointing starts since maiden hurdle introduction at Naas in November. Overall record casts doubt on his ability to get competitive on handicap debut.
10
Horse silk
Glen Of Aherlow39
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-11| J: M P Walsh| T: J P O'Brien| OR:  88
5/1
Will have disappointed powerful connections in a series of dour maiden hurdle performances in December and again last month finishing well down the field at Naas. Any market move would be worth noting on handicap debut.
11
Horse silk
Golden Glen31
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-11| J: A McCurtin(3)| T: J J Walsh| OR:  88
20/1
Has looked over whelmed in a number of maiden hurdle disappointments since October. Out of sorts at Punchestown last month beaten 58L when seventh of 10 and this looks a tough ask on handicap hurdle debut.
12
Horse silk
Marino Marvelp30
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-8| J: C D Maxwell| T: D A McLoughlin| OR:  84
14/1
12-race maiden over timber, twice making the frame. Nothing of note in a number of starts since December and hard to fancy given the line-up.
13
Horse silk
Uffizy40
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-8| J: D E Mullins| T: A Mullins| OR:  85
8/1
Could be worth a market check on handicap debut for the Arakan mare who has been well held on three maiden hurdle starts since November.
14
Horse silk
Macho Mover18
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-5| J: D Meyler| T: E Doyle| OR:  95
20/1
Three race maiden hurdler who has not been disgraced in three maiden hurdle starts since December and appears to be improving with every run. Open to significant improvement on handicap debut.
15
Horse silk
Tsarina Sophiah63
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-4| J: R C Colgan| T: Diarmuid P Ryan| OR:  80
20/1
Nine race maiden hurdler who has failed to finish three of his four disappointing handicap hurdle starts to date. Form doesn't warrant support here.
16
Horse silk
Turfjager567
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-4| J: J M Moore| T: Kevin McDonagh| OR:  80
20/1
12 race maiden hurdler who has not been seen since finishing pulled up at Leopardstown in July 2017 when in the care of trainer Anthony McCann. Hard to make a case for on return to action.
17
Horse silk
Sweet Cassie50
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-0| J: D J O'Keeffe(7)| T: Leonard Flynn| OR:  90
25/1
Yet to show any encouraging signs in three maiden hurdle defeats to date sent off at no less than 100/1 on her last two starts at Cork and Limerick, running accordingly on each occasion. Others preferred.
18
Horse silk
Definite Doyenne30
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-11| J: A Ring| T: P J Rothwell| OR:  87
14/1
Modest 58-rated handicapper on the Flat and without success in four hurdle starts to date including when slipping up in a moderate eighth at Fairyhouse last month on handicap debut. Hard to place any faith in.
19
Horse silk
Our Jerryt882
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-4| J: Reserve 1| T: Miss E McCutcheon| OR:  80
16/1
First Reserve: Not seen for nearing on two and half years when a consistent 82-rated handicap hurdler. Best watched on return.

15:15 Clonmel - 14 February 2019 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

BEE A BENEFICIARY can make the most of her experience of five handicap hurdle starts and her short-head win at Kilbeggan when last seen in July to land the spoils here seeing off the challenge from handicap debutantes the Joseph O'Brien-trained Glen Of Aherlow, Wareed gelding Buttevant Boy and Young Dev from the Denis Hogan yard. Macho Mover on his handicap introduction can go well at a price.
