4:47 Clonmel Tips

Best of these on official ratings. Effective at today's trip and stays further. Likely to make all to ensure a test of stamina and several potential non-stayers in the field.

Decent enough run under today's 7 lb claimer to finish 2nd of 7 last time out. That shows willing, and a repeat will go close.

Lightkeeper is a four-time winner who boasts a superior 21.43% career strike rate in chases, a figure that towers above most claiming hurdle rivals. Trainer Gordon Elliott has been among the winners with 12 successes from his last 59 runners (20.34%), adding significant weight to the selection's claims. This represents a clear class edge in a modest contest.

His last hurdle run was a disappointing effort at Naas in March. Two midfield chase finishes since. Back over hurdles from a good mark with a good claiming jockey. Trip is shorter than usual, but the ground should suit. Each-way chance.

This is the trainer's only entry. He's been brought out today as they are returning him back to the hurdles with a jockey booking/change. Worth a small each-way saver bet.
