Tip for this race
All today's tips ›River Cartwright is our selection at Clonmel, and the case rests on a fitness edge that can outweigh a small rating deficit in a 12-runner field over two miles on good ground. He sits at 98, just 4 points behind the top-rated Distraction on 102 and two points shy of Red Seagull on 100, so the gap is narrow enough for sharper condition to decide matters. Distraction and Red Seagull are the obvious dangers, with Mhi Milani on 85 the best of the rest, and with seven of the twelve unrated there is some uncertainty in the pack. Even so, River Cartwright is the one we want on side.

David A Kiely 0/0
Distraction bounced back to form with a second last time out, and he has run over today's trip and going before, so he looks a leading threat off 168 lb. The one concern is a 40-day layoff, plus a pulled up four starts back, though our rating of 102 ranks him top of twelve.

Mr H C Swan
Gordon Elliott 10/52
Greenbrier is unexposed after just one recent outing, a third last time out, and he returns from a 180-day break carrying 168 lb. He is yet to win in that limited form, so there should be improvement to come.

N Dooly 0/2
Hard to fancy, as Hoof And Hustle is winless in his last three, unplaced last time and an eighth two starts back, and he returns after 94 days off. He does carry 168 lb, though he has run over today's trip and going, and our figures rank him fifth of 12.

Mr J Dunne (7)
Patrick T Foley 1/5
Mhi Milani is one of the leading dangers, having run over today's trip, carrying 168 lb, and rated fourth of 12 by our figures. The main risk is fitness, as he returns after 201 days off following a fifth last time out.

Mister Moon is lightly raced and unexposed, with just one recent outing to go on, unplaced last time out 47 days ago, so he's yet to win and could well have more to offer. He shoulders a hefty 168 lb here.

Unexposed gelding whose only recent outing ended in him unseating his rider, so there's little to go on, and he returns after 193 days off under 168 lb. Yet to win in recent form, he may have more to offer.

N Stokes 0/0
Red Seagull sets a solid standard after a second two starts back, and he has run over today's trip, while our rating of 100 ranks him second of 12. The one concern is a 191-day absence, plus a sixth last time and 168 lb on his back.

Mr Finn Buckley (7)
John McConnell 3/25
River Cartwright showed his hand with a second last time out, and he returns fresh after 28 days, having run over today's trip and on this going before. Carrying 168 lb is a reservation, but the profile makes him our pick, backed by a rating of 98.

Ruthless Rebel is unexposed, with no recorded form to go on, so he's an open book and could easily improve for the experience. He carries 168 lb, a hefty weight for a debutant to shoulder.

S Curling 0/1
Sumoscalier is an unraced gelding with no recorded form, so he's wholly unexposed and open to improvement. He carries 168 lb on debut, and a first look at what he can do is the key interest.

Deadly Diva is lightly raced and unexposed, with her only recent run ending in a pull-up 165 days ago, so she has plenty to prove. She carries 161 lb, and any improvement would need to come from that fitness question being answered.
