Clonmel 17:42 Odds Comparison

Bullet Train gelding. Half-brother to smart hurdler/chaser The Worlds End (2m3f-3m1f winner). Hit the frame all 3 starts over hurdles, shaping better than the beaten distance when fourth of 18 at Gowran on return from 4 months off last time. Looks to have been handed a lenient opening mark.

Down in grade/returning to scene of sole previous win, having run poorly when twelfth of 13 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Gowran latest.

€30,000 Jukebox Jury gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/very smart chaser Pencilfulloflead. Didn't improve for switch to handicaps when fourth of 14 here in January, but did catch the eye with late headway, suggesting he'll appreciate this step back up in trip.

Midfield in 2½m Thurles maiden on reappearance/stable debut and though well held on qualifying run there last time, he could be more competitive now tackling handicaps.

Bande gelding. Dam (h106), 2m1f-2m5f hurdle/chase winner in France, half-sister to useful French chaser Sadler'sflaure (winner up to 2¾m). Modest seventh of 14 at Limerick on penultimate start and now switches to a handicap having finished well held on qualifying run at Punchestown.

Hit-and-miss performer for previous yard but yet to fire at all for new connections.

Soldier Of Fortune gelding. Dam (h119), 2m/2¼m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m), half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Tara Point. Long way below modest bumper form in maiden hurdles, though does at least benefit from a switch to handicaps.

Made frame both starts in points and showed bit more on second start in a handicap when fifth of 9 (2m) here, though will need to improve again stepping back up in trip (sporting first-time hood).

Friendless in the betting but produced comfortably his best effort to date when 33/1 third in a 2m handicap here. That performance can be marked up and he needs considering, especially if supported.

€50,000 Telescope mare. Dam (c130/h127), 2m-2½m hurdle/chase winner, sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stays 3m1f) Everglow. 100/1 when distant fourth of 18 in novice hurdle at Thurles but ought to do better now handicapping over longer trip.

Fared better than previously in first-time hood on handicap debut, making late headway to finish fourth of 17 at Naas (2m), and she's one to consider with step back up in trip expected to suit.

Landed double here in October before creditable fifth in the Cork National the following month. Looks interesting off significantly lower mark on return.

Very disappointing over hurdles, considering he managed to hit the frame in bumpers, though does at least benefit from good-value claimer in saddle for first time.

€33,000 Order Of St George mare pulled up both starts in points and now switches to handicaps/slightly longer trip having shown nothing under Rules.

Remains with little form over hurdles.

Overall strike-rate is very modest (2-59) and he's struggling for form at present.

Not in same form as previous start when 33/1 twelfth of 22 in handicap hurdle at Cork 7 days ago. RESERVE.
