Clonmel 5.05 - Handicap Hurdle - 3 miles - 16 run - Heavy
 
At the top end of the market there are 3 in with very good chances at e/w prices and in order of preference i would rate MULLANOUR who would take all the beating if repeating its most recent run, ROBTNDEGLORY who really suggested a return to form last time and who has optimal conditions despite top weight and IMPERIAL TUNE who proved his stamina last time, has form in heavy ground and who would be value at around 10/1.
 
With the exception of Fancy Prospect who has sent mixed messages about stamina, the only other one in the 16 runner field who I think deserves a mention, and may be a small bet each way at around 33/1 is IMBOIC who tends to stay on late passing beaten horses and who could quite possibly stay on in to an enhanced place if ridden to finish.
