The big race of the day is the Clonmel Oil Chase (Grade 2) over in Ireland at 2.40. Two and a half miles, good ground, right hand undulating track with a stiff finish

The favourite, Saint Sam, has everything going for him ...... trained by Willie Mullins and his only runner in the race, He's had a couple of pipe openers over hurdles, he's won at this level before and at this trip. Ideally suited by small fields where he can get out in front and make all.

There's a couple of rank outsiders who look outclassed and a couple of decent ones that are better around two miles and this stiff track should see them floundering in the finish

The main danger therefore is Fakir D'Oudairies who won this race 3 years ago and won a Grade 2 race last season ........ but he's not been performing in good form lately and had been drifting this morning in the betting. 

So it all points to the jolly old Fav .........

2.40 Clonmel - Saint Sam - win at 6/4 bet365
