16:55 Clonmel - 17 April 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A thin maiden that can go to EMPIRE SUCCES. He's already been first past the post once before later losing the race and ran well in a handicap when last seen in November. The progressive Is Charlie Around and Godblessyourosie for a new yard are dangers.
