The Punt Daily: Mark Boylan's free horse racing tip at Clonmel on Thursday

CLONMEL NAP

Gracchus De Balme(1.55 Clonmel)

Joseph O'Brien's operation might be primarily focused on Flat racing nowadays, but his team of jumpers have been enjoying an excellent campaign. He's already beaten last year's domestic tally of 40 by ten winners this term, and the useful six-year-old Gracchus De Balme can add to that haul in this 2m maiden hurdle at Clonmel on Thursday. Having shown promise in a point-to-point and bumper, the mount of JJ Slevin has posted a couple of pleasing efforts in this sphere of late, particularly last time at Navan behind Ash Tree Meadow. He can put that experience to good use here and could be a backable price given the presence of Itwasfate and Whowonthetoss in the line-up.
