20:30 Clonmel — Paul Kavanagh Memorial Handicap Hurdle model predictions

Where Are You Now (IRE)

0%

Went closest to scoring when just denied in a Punchestown handicap over 2m in January (well-backed); raced keenly over 3m on return at the same track last month; can do better down slightly in trip.

Whoswhointhezoo (IRE)

0%

Well beaten in three maidens and on handicap debut last time; blinkers need to have a transformative effect.

Last Note (FR)

0%

Runner-up in a bumper and maiden hurdle in UK; beaten a long way at Wexford on stable debut/return and has to improve hugely on that.

Nashville Notions (IRE)

0%

Won a Sligo maiden hurdle last summer but hasn't been near that level in handicaps since, though there was a bit more spark at Wexford last time.

It's Time Again

0%

All three hurdle wins have come at Ballinrobe, the last one in 2025; however, was pulled-up there 10 days ago and hard to fancy on that run.

Oogum Boogum (IRE)

0%

Got off the mark when winning a Punchestown handicap but didn't jump as well when third at Wexford since off this mark; both those were over 3m but this trip should be fine too; a player if holding his form.

Fire Coral (GB)

0%

Won handicaps at Downpatrick (2m6f) and Down Royal (3m) last August; not as good off this mark at Listowel when last seen and will have to be at her best after an absence.

Rizedda (FR)

0%

Best maiden run was when fourth at Tramore last August but was well beaten in a Listowel handicap next time; needs her best on return but yard is in form.

Thewaybackhome (IRE)

0%

Point runner-up was well beaten in three maidens but a better effort over 2m3f here on handicap debut last time; there should be more to come and can be involved if staying this trip.

Zolpharine (IRE)

0%

Was a comfortable winner over fences at Limerick and hurdles at Tramore on last two starts; is now 10lb higher in this sphere but is in such good form that he has to be feared; 7lb claims helps too.

Sallap (IRE)

0%

Second runner for yard; sole win came over slightly further at this track last October; was in the lead when falling at Thurles next time off 1lb lower; however, was beaten a long way on return at Cork and has to do much better.

Miss Donna (IRE)

0%

Not bad runs over 2m the last twice but will have to find major improvement for step up in trip.

Three County Star (IRE)

0%

Not a bad run in a Cork maiden in April but well beaten in a handicap there since so others preferred.

Queen Kulina (IRE)

0%

Maiden after 11 hurdle starts but some decent runs in defeat; fell at the 10th on return at Punchestown last time; a squeak if at her best.

Appian Way (FR)

0%

One of his two hurdle wins came at this track; has been soundly beaten on recent starts so others preferred.

Lily Milan (IRE)

0%

First reserve; point winner has run well in defeat in bumpers but hurdles form has been mostly below that and chedekpieces need to work.

Spellacy's Cross (IRE)

0%

Second reserve; dual chase winner is 0-17 over hurdles but posted some decent efforts lately and should go well with a repeat.

Love Like This (IRE)

0%

Third reserve; second runner for yard; a maiden after 43 races in all codes; just denied at Sligo last month but below that level twice since.
