Limerick 18:23 - Price Boost

oddschecker Verdict

GLOBAL SKIES improved on a runner-up effort at Clonmel in May to score in fine style at the same course in early-June and perhaps he can defy a 9lb hike in the ratings to follow up. He certainly won with plenty in hand and is likely to be competitive again in a race where Cocovic looks a danger after a fair effort when third behind two better-fancied rivals here at Limerick a little over a month ago. That was his first run in a handicap hurdle and his first start sice September of last year. Mickey Cohen is one with an absence to overcome this time. He won a beginners' chase at Downpatrick last September and was then second to easy winner Flidais when last seen over hurdles at Tipperary the following month.

Prediction: 1st Global Skies, 2nd Cocovic, 3rd Mickey Cohen
