Today's Tips: Billy’s Hope can go one better at Clonmel

Today's Tips: Billy’s Hope can go one better at Clonmel

Jessica Harrington’s mark looked all over a winner when jumping the last in front but appeared to idle somewhat in the closing stages and was caught right on the line by the well-backed Pride Of The Braid. While it was a touch disappointing she didn’t put that race to bed from what looked a winning position, the form stands up well against today’s opposition.

The obvious danger is Water Sprite, who caught the eye on her hurdling debut in December at Punchestown. She achieved a high of 69 on the flat when with John Murphy, before joining Gordon Elliott.
