FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - STAND OFF returns to Clonmel for his third run in succession. Previous visits to Powerstown Park have seen connections of the selection garner a little prize-money through fourth and fifth place finishes. However a bigger ‘cheque’ could be coming the way of owner/breeder John Power now, as Stand Off drops back to this two mile trip. He can come on from his last effort, his first in 233 days, and the five-year-old had a 329 day break prior to his previous Clonmel run. It looks as though Philip Fenton might be getting a clearer run with his charge now. The form of the stable – Carrolls Cottage won for the yard at Limerick on Tuesday – and Mark Walsh’s booking for the ride, are further encouraging factors. The Punchestown festival bumper fourth placer is preferred in this unplaced maiden to the likes of Centurion Steel. My Tent Or Yours’ half-sister, Annie Kate, is another with a squeak.
