Justified has the class to put skids under ‘Oil’ rivals

JUSTIFIED, despite continuing reservations about him travelling right-handed, is the choice in the Grade 2 Clonmel Oil Chase at Clonmel this afternoon.

Dusty Sheehy’s charge will not be able to afford to jump to his left with any frequency, in a contest in which he has to concede weight to a couple of smart rivals.

Some of the selection’s old failings were again apparent in the Grade 1 James Nicholson at Down Royal last time, when Paul Carberry was aboard.
