UK Horse Racing Tips: Limerick

LITTLE LIGHT has improved with each start under Rules, starting by finishing down the field at Navan on debut before reverting to bumpers and finishing in midfield at Punchestown. The return to hurdles at Fairyhouse saw her find just one too good last time and Joseph O'Brien's mare is taken to strike here. Denham Hana ran well on her second start at this track but has been off the track for over a year, so a likelier danger is Rhythm Divine, who was third at Punchestown behind a horse who ran a cracker at Cheltenham earlier this week.
Prediction : 1st Little Light 2nd Rhythm Divine 3rd Denham Hana

CORAL BLUE was not beaten far when fifth at Naas last time and looks to have been found a real opening against these rivals, while Tom Mullins' filly Colour Me In looks well treated by the conditions of this race but has been in woeful form of late. Rocky Shores, third at Fairyhouse last time and sixth behind Sir Erec the time before, is the main danger to the selection.
Prediction : 1st Coral Blue 2nd Rocky Shores 3rd Colour Me In

WEIHNACHTS left all previous form firmly behind him when beaten just a short head at Clonmel last time and Philip Rothwell's gelding is taken to progress again here. Aim For Glory was narrowly ahead when falling two out at Gowran last time and could go well with a clear round, while Big Nick could be happier dropping back in trip after fading late on at Punchestown last time. Drifting Back ran well on his first start for nine months in December and could go well again after a shorter break.
Prediction : 1st Weihnachts 2nd Aim For Glory 3rd Big Nick

Bluegrass Princess is only 1lb lower than when pulling up in a handicap over course and distance, but she scored in a maiden at Ballinrobe last time and looks in better form. Princess Mahler ran well in fourth at Clonmel last time and gets another chance off the same mark, but preference is for SHE'S MADE IT. Padraig Roche's mare has been a bridesmaid far too often to be comfortable, but she is nothing if not reliable and could be the answer in this.
Prediction : 1st Shes Made It 2nd Bluegrass Princess 3rd Princess Mahler

YOUNG DEV remains a maiden in all spheres, but he ran a cracker to be second at Clonmel last time and Denis Hogan's charge could be capable of defying a 3lb rise. Mlily ran well for third at Clonmel two starts ago but has stamina questions to answer after being well beaten over this trip last time, while Cadawill went close in a three-mile chase at this track in the summer and competes in this off a 13lb lower mark.
Prediction : 1st Young Dev 2nd Mlily 3rd Cadawill

Top Moon went agonisingly close on debut at Naas and was far from disgraced in third in a Listed bumper at Punchestown. Joseph O'Brien's gelding is one to consider carefully, but WALKING FAME is preferred. Tom Taaffe's filly was slightly squeezed for room in a bumper at Naas on debut, but kept on nicely and shaped as though that experience would do her the world of good. Special Brute was a length behind the selection at Naas and is another potential improve for Gordon Elliott.
Prediction : 1st Walking Fame 2nd Special Brute 3rd Top Moon

RUN WILD FRED was beaten a long way in a Grade 2 at Leopardstown, but the winner franked the form in emphatic fashion by landing the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham on Wednesday. In the context of this race, that form stands out a mile. Bois De Clamart was a 10-length winner of a Ballinrobe bumper on debut in April but it is a concern that he's been off the track for so long since, while Uisce Solas showed plenty of promise on her debut, but that was way back in 2017. Any support for newcomers Even Flight and Better Be Alright could be worth heeding.
Prediction : 1st Run Wild Fred 2nd Bois De Clamart 3rd Better Be Alright
