FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - There was plenty of money about for HELLO PILGRIM at Clonmel last time. She went off joint market-leader for a September 3rd Powerstown Park stamina test, and there was ultimately disappointment for the mare’s backers and connections when she was ‘nailed’ late on by Nobel Joshua. It’s a bitter enough pill to go up three pounds as a result. That will likely be forgotten if the seven-year-old can register a win now, and she really should have every chance, dropping in trip. If the hurdles in the home straight at Clonmel hadn’t been omitted, Hello Pilgrim may well have won. The first-time cheek-pieces from there are unsurprisingly retained. Dual Tramore winner Yaiza is a danger, as are the likes of Rebel Waltz, Supreme Vinnie, Tintown Robin, Sweet Sting and Thats Mypresenting. He was blowing hard post race and Elegant Dan needs to bounce back after a disappointing run latest.
