Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Heroes Of Renown heads our figures on 107 and gets the nod over a competitive 16-runner field at Clonmel, with that rating three pounds clear of his nearest pursuer. Onefortheditch is the chief danger on 104, only narrowly behind, while Rockstown Girl (101) and Sharetheknowledge (95) also have to be respected over 21f on good ground. He is rated highest of these on our figures, and the gap to the chasing pack is enough to make him the one to beat. Heroes Of Renown is our selection.

James Smith (3)
A. McCann 1/9
Rockstown Girl was second last time out, just 13 days ago, and has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 101 ranks her third of 16; the main risk is that she is yet to win in her last six starts and carries 166 lb.

King's Son has been winless in his last six, with a third six starts back his best finish and only mid-division efforts since, including an unplaced run last time out. He has run over today's trip and going and is fresh enough after 18 days, but 152 lb is a big ask off a mark of 84.

Zolpharine has tailed off since his win six starts back, finishing a seventh last time out and a fifth two starts before, which makes him hard to fancy under 152 lb. He has run over today's trip and going, and 18 days since his last run is fine, but our figures rate him a shade below his mark of 84.

P J Rothwell 1/21
Winless in his last five and off a 224-day break, Without Exception is hard to fancy, especially with a yard managing just one winner from 21 lately and 148 lb to carry. A fourth last time out and prior experience over today's trip are the best of it.

Thirsty Work is hard to fancy, winless in her last five and beaten into seventh last time out, with a second two starts back the only bright spot in a run of unplaced efforts. She has run on today's going and carries 147 lb, which looks a stiff ask.

Ciaran Murphy 1/20
Gortmore Lady is winless in her last six, with a fifth last time out and a seventh five starts back among the weaker efforts, and the yard's 1/20 over the last fortnight doesn't help. She has run over today's trip and going, and a second two starts back shows some ability, but 146 lb is a big ask.

Battle Of Benburb was fourth last time out, but he is winless in his last five and has been pulled up twice in that spell, while a 61-day break raises fitness questions. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 94 sits well above his official 77.

Stily steps up from a fourth last time out, 11 days ago, after three sixths in a row, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Yet to win in his last five and carrying 145 lb off 77, he looks capable of a run without being a clear threat, with our rating of 84 ranking him 13th of 16.

Finnicky Filly is winless in her last six, finishing sixth last time out, with a fifth three starts back the best of a modest recent run, so she is hard to fancy. She has run over today's trip and going and was out only 11 days ago, but 140 lb is a big ask.

Twice a runner-up three and four starts back, Onefortheditch is only 16 days since her last run and has experience over today's trip and going, while our rating of 104 ranks her second of 16. The main risk is 158 lb, and she is winless in her last five starts.
