All the major statistics and insight for punters to get ahead at Clonmel

Clonmel is a tight and turning track so it’s no surprise front-runners excel there. The course demands a lot from horses, providing a stiff uphill climb before a gradual descent, which is then followed by a testing uphill finish.

In the 11 jumps fixtures at the Tipperary venue last season, 47 per cent of races were won by horses ridden prominently.

In comparison, just 13 per cent came home in front having been held up – a similar rate to horses who effectively made all the running while winning during the same period.
