FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Two in here for J P McManus with handicap chase first timers A Different World and Encore Lui looking to improve on uninspiring recent form. Mark Walsh is on A Different World and this fellow at least has a point-to-point win under his belt. There are a few in here that have been there done that when it comes to getting the job done at Clonmel, but it’s a last time out runner from another County Tipperary venue, ESPION DU CHENET, that gets the nod. The selection was an 11/8 market leader when departing at the very first fence at Thurles last time. There he was trying to follow up on a Naas win from less than a week before. Ryan Treacy won on the chestnut and he’s back aboard now. The duo are worth another chance.
