2. 2Onefortheditch64/100

   Form 6226-5 · Eamonn Francis Gallagher · Alan O'Sullivan(5)

   Onefortheditch is a useful performer who has been placed on three of his four starts at Clonmel without winning. He has a solid record on good to yielding ground with two wins from eight starts and five placings overall, and is dropping back to a trip where he has placed once from three starts. The trainer's 10% strike rate at the track from 20 runs is in line with his record elsewhere. Alan O'Sullivan claims 5lb but has a 0% strike rate at Clonmel from 35 rides.
