Formscan By Alan Magee - CLODY VALLEY won over fences at Tramore this spring and is still off an attractive hurdle mark with Michael O’Sullivan claiming a valuable 7lb. The addition of cheek pieces on his latest two starts appears to have had a positive affect on the Liz Doyle-trained gelding finishing second over fences at Tramore and also a creditable fourth to the well-backed Big Island when revering to hurdles at Galway last week. Mater Matuta added to a Tramore chase win when scoring over hurdles at Bellewstown last month and the booking of Rachael Blackmore is interesting. Darkest Hour is a consistent sort at this level at has been placed on three of his latest four starts at this venue. Kellie’s Dream appreciated a sounder surface when scoring at Wexford last time.
