Limerick

Confirmed previous promise when winning handicap at Cork over a similar trip in May by 3¼ lengths from Coded Welder. Fell heavily 2 out in a deeper race at Listowel (3m, good to soft) on return 25 days ago having raced from just out of the handicap. May do better now back down in grade.

C&D winner. 9/4 and fit from a spin on the Flat, made most of a good opportunity when winning 7-runner handicap hurdle at Tramore (2½m, good to soft) 10 days ago. May find things trickier from a 6 lb higher mark.

Lightly-raced maiden who'd shaped quite well in maiden hurdles and then improved when third of 14 on handicap debut at Listowel (19f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Looks capable of winning something similar.

Capitalised on reduced mark when winning 15-runner 19f handicap at Navan in September and then followed up in 2½m event at Gowran 13 days later. Up another 6 lb and hood goes back on now bidding for a hat-trick. Has to be considered if getting in. Engaged 4.05 at Limerick on Saturday. RESERVE.

Showed a bit first 3 runs over hurdles, improving when fifth of 15 in mares maiden at Cork (19f, good to soft) on first run for yard having left Ciaran Murphy when last seen in May. More needed now sent handicapping.

Fair hurdler. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Listowel (2m, good to soft) 24 days ago. Goes back up in trip but looks summed up by current mark.

Caused an 80/1 surprise when fair winner of bumper at Cork (19f) on Rules debut in April. Best run over hurdles when 10 lengths second to Reaching High in 15-runner maiden at Listowel (19f, good to soft, 16/1) 23 days ago. May yet be more to come from him now handicapping.

Bumper winner who's yet to score over hurdles but took step forward on second start in a handicap when 7 lengths third to Hopeful Hero at Clonmel (23f, good, 9/2) 17 days ago, needing stiffer test. Will need a well-run race at this trip.

Winning pointer who was a promising third on hurdling debut at Navan last November. Hasn't kicked on since, though was unsuited by a sharply-run race at Downpatrick when last seen in July. Worth another chance back up in distance on handicap debut.

Off the mark at Cork last season and unlucky to bump into an improver at Sligo next time. Ran respectably on first start for new yard when fifth at Listowel over an inadequate 2m last time. Each-way claims if stepping up on that.

Made frame on 3 occasions last season and was in the process of running creditably when falling on last 2 outings. Hasn't been seen since May and is hard to have full confidence in on the back of those.

Fairly useful hurdler at best. Left Gordon Elliott after making chasing debut in May, taking a step back in the right direction when fifth at Listowel (2½m, good to soft) 24 days ago. May find this test on the sharp side.

Modest maiden who finished well held over 23f at Killarney 2 weeks ago. Back down in trip but others are more persuasive.

Placed in a trio of maiden hurdles and ran to a fair level over fences last season for Gordon Elliott. Showed little on debut for this yard at Listowel last month. Hard to make a case for.

Much improved when off the mark in handicap at Gowran in decisive fashion this time last year. Ran poorly at Cork back in May and has questions to answer on reappearance.

Likeable sort who won 3 times over fences last year and added another at Wexford in May. Has failed to repeat those efforts since, including over hurdles, and was pulled up lame over fences at Cork last week. Others more persuasive.

Back on track when third of 9 in mares novice chase at Thurles in March. Fell in handicap hurdle at Cork 2 weeks later. Best watched on reappearance.

Veteran who won over hurdles at Kilbeggan in April 2025 but largely struggled over fences last season. Looked rusty on hurdling return last month and can be taken on for win purposes.

Standout effort over hurdles when runner-up in conditionals maiden at Thurles in March. Went with no encouragement on return from 6-month absence at Tramore 10 days ago. Engaged 4.05 at Limerick on Saturday.
