Clonmel Race 2

Aisling Kennedy Memorial (C & G) Maiden Hurdle

Stake: $19,926

TRASNA NA PAIRCE (9) takes on a moderate maiden hurdle having run third in a maiden hurdle tackling this trip at Kilbeggan 20 days ago. Can get off the mark. KEEP KOOL COKO (6) wasn't disgraced when sixth in a more valuable conditions hurdle at Punchestown. Holds strong claims back down in class. IRINA'S PATH (5) returns from 265 day absence. Could be thereabouts if replicating form of his two placed hurdle efforts on reappearance. POLEMON (1) rates next best.

Was at very long odds at debut, finished 19th of 20 starters at Punchestown on May 3 over 3218m, 74 len behind Vitorio Piel carrying 73kg at $67. Looks tested this line-up. Looks tested without significant improvement.

Last run finished sixth of 15 runners at Punchestown on April 30 over 3922m, 8 len behind Thisistheway carrying 69kg at $41. Start before finished second of 8 starters at Tramore on April 13 over 4325m, 12 len behind Fairyland Opera carrying 71.5kg at $4.50. Sure to prove harder to beat this time.

Second-up today. First-up after four months finished third of 16 starters at Kilbeggan on April 25 over 3922m, 2.75 len behind St Cuthbert's Cave carrying 71.5kg at $3. Previously second-up finished second in a small field at Loughanmore P2p on October 19 over 4828m, 13 len behind Jim The Wolf carrying 61kg. Looks well placed here and expected to go close.
