Review CLONMEL 13th Nov
The feature event of the day was the Grade Two Clonmel Oil Chase and it went to Tom Taaffe's Glenfinn Captain
An easy winner over the same course and distance on his seasonal bow last month, the 5-2 second-favourite moved well on the heels of long-time leader One Cool Cookie and jumped to the front over the second-last fence.
The nine-year-old popped the final obstacle in good style and was driven out by Barry Geraghty for a five-length triumph.
The disappointment of the race was Grand National third Snowy Morning who was sent off the 13-8 market leader but was outpaced when the tempo increased and trailed home fifth.< Chelsea Harbour relished the return to three miles and had little trouble justifying 7-4 favouritism in the Clonmel Oil Service Station Handicap Hurdle.
Ruby Walsh bided his time aboard the Tom Mullins-trained eight-year-old and he moved up to make his challenge on the turn for home.
The result was never in doubt from that point and following a couple of tidy jumps over the last two flights, her was not extended to record a four and a half length win over Sonnium
The INH Stallion Owners EBF Novice Hurdle resulted in an all-the-way win for 9-4 chance Fortune Seeker
Immediately sent to the front by John Cullen, the six-year-old mare was never headed and scored by five and a half lengths after seeing off the persistent challenge of Swift Counsel
Cullen completed a double on Bohemian Lass (9-2), who supplemented a recent Thurles success with an eight-length win in the Listed EBF T.A Memorial Mares Chase.< By The Hour (13-2) stepped up on her recent comeback run with an easy victory in the Cahir Handicap Hurdle, while Johnny Gonzalez made all to land the Prior Park Service Station Clonmel Handicap Chase by a slightly flattering 18 lengths after his only serious challenger Valley Of Giants came to grief at the penultimate fence.< Lismakeery (12-1) made a winning debut in the www.woodfieldfarmstud.com INH Flat Race as 7-4 favourite OK Corral flopped.
