Today's Tips: Longer trip should suit De Plotting Shed at Clonmel

De Plotting Shed can land the nap in this afternoon’s Demesne Maiden Hurdle at Clonmel. 

Gordon Elliott’s horse was well beaten into second place behind Our Duke on his bumper debut, in mid-November, but went one place better with a smooth victory a fortnight later at Fairyhouse.

Sent off favourite for a Listed Bumper at Ascot on his next start, he finished fourth behind Coeur Blimey, after which he was put over hurdles. On his jumping debut inside the rails, he ran a super race to get within three lengths of smart prospect Gurteen, at Navan.
