Tharawaat to make fitness tell

THE race-fit Tharawaat is the choice in the Grade 2 Clonmel Oil Chase at the Co Tipperary track this afternoon.

The selection has it all to do at the weights, 10lbs wrong with Tranquil Sea, but the fact has a recent spin under his belt sways one towards Gordon Elliott’s gelding.

The six-year-old made an excellent seasonal debut at Galway last month. He contested what looked a competitive handicap and his prospects didn’t seem obvious off top weight of 11-10.
