Clonmel preview

After some shock results at Naas yesterday the jackpot once again rolls on to Clonmel on Thursday, with over €22,000 to help swell the pool. Coscorrig will be a banker for many in the 2m1f mares beginners chase, but Andy Lynch’s charge hasn’t won for some time and may not necessarily be a good thing. Kind Oscar and Ambrosia’s Promise are the obvious alternatives.

Ruby Walsh has built up a good rapport with The Corby Glenn, and the champion jockey will have high hopes of notching another victory on the Ray McGlinchey-trained gelding in the 2m4f handicap chase. The pair were never in much danger at Fairyhouse last time.

Walsh also holds obvious claims aboard Psycho in a fascinating beginners chase, where Kazal returns from a very lengthy spell on the sidelines for another crack at the larger obstacles.

Willie Mullins has been fairly cleaning up in bumpers of late, and his newcomer Up The Beat commands automatic respect in the finale. However False Economy could give him plenty to think about following a fair effort behind A Fine Young Man at Naas on Sunday.
