The Larry O’Rourke Munster Juvenile Cup (former Munster Puppy Cup) over 525 yards at Clonmel on Sunday is another former Irish puppy competition that has had a name change due to allowing runners older than two to take part to ensure a full entry.
J.J. Fennelly’s Newlawn Luke can follow up his impressive heat performance with victory in the second round.
The Definate Opinion dog made all to score in a fastest 28.78sec and he can again quickly settle matters with another fast getaway.
Peter Cronin’s Mustang Golden, a son of David Bale, who last week scored in 28.92sec looks the main threat.

Peter Cronin’s All About Pete, a 29.04sec heat winner, looks the biggest danger.
Liam Dowling’s Puppy Oaks runner-up Ballymac Belle can soon be in control of heat three and see off Trade Eoin.
