Katy P should take plenty of beating

Katy P looks the best bet on tonight’s seven-race national hunt card at Clonmel. On her debut, in April, Jessica Harington’s filly was sent off favourite for a bumper at Cheltenham, and ran well to finish third behind Hitherjacques Lady.

On the back of that effort she had plenty of supporters when running at Tipperary a fortnight ago, but again had to settle for third place. Held up for much of the trip, she made an impressive move to get into contention shortly after turning for home but, on the back of that, was unable to find that little bit extra required in the last few yards.

However, she lost little in defeat behind two previous winners and, barring one of the newcomers is very smart, she should take a world of beating. One such debutant of some interest is Quinnsborotemptres, who represents the powerful Gordon Elliott stable.
