16:40 Clonmel Handicap Chase

Race preview

SHOPPING AROUND is two from two at Clonmel and she should give a good account of herself in this open contest. A winner over flights at Downpatrick in May, the Jim Dreaper trained chestnut was second on her most recent start at Limerick in July and it'll come as no surprise if she manages to register a fourth track success now. Dreaper is also represented by Mullaghmurphy Blue but he will need to improve on recent efforts if he is to feature. The admirable Bellgrove is given second preference, as he bids to follow-up on his recent Thurles win. The thirteen-year-old will carry just nine stone twelve here and another bold bid looks likely from the Pat Cloke trained bay. Ricky Langford has been performing consistently well this season and he has strong claims, while Killarney winner Dontdooddson and Drummullagh Rocky are other leading contenders.
