Sin Palo ready for Wilderness Chase

Sin Palo bids to atone for a fall at Ballinrobe in September when he lines up in the feature race on Clonmel's card, the Wilderness Chase.

Willie Mullins' runner won twice at Kilbeggan over the summer and was just pipped by Muirhead at Galway before his mishap at even-money, and he is top rated of those taking part here.

Arabella Boy may lack consistency but he's a real threat on his day, while Gates Of Rome and Whatuthink add further spice.

Possibly the biggest name on the track is Our Girl Salley, who makes her chasing debut in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Beginners Chase.

Prunella Dobbs' mare won a Grade Three at Leopardstown over timber last Christmas time, and though she's not been seen since finishing fifth at the Punchestown Festival, she could have too much for the likes of Noras Fancy and Magical Memoir.

The meeting kicks off at 1.25 with the Cahir Mares Maiden Hurdle, which could give the in-form Dessie Hughes another chance with Chasing Shadows.

The daughter of Presenting has had plenty of attempts already, though, and the likes of Kims Fancy and Gone Wrong are likely to be on the premises should Hughes's runner fluff her lines.

The trainer has Saddlehimup in the Cashel Maiden Hurdle, but he hasn't shown a great deal in three hurdle starts to date, so bumper winner Sands Cove could be the answer.

Noel Meade unleashes Bose Ikard in the Clonmel Oil Chase Day 15th November Flat Race, though he will have to be on his mettle to fend off the likes of Bell Weir, Top Othe Ra and Golanedge.

The Gnathologist has been creeping back into form of late and could be a major threat to World Citizen and Speed Dial in the Powerstown Demesne Handicap Hurdle, while the www.grahamnorris.com Memorial Handicap Hurdle looks a good opportunity for Quietly Fancied.
