UK Horse Racing Tips: Limerick

CALL OF THE JUNGLE took a step in the right direction when second over 7f on soft ground at Listowel last time and is expected to give another good account under the forecast testing conditions. The main danger may be Gold Brocade, who steps up from 6f, though there could also be big runs on the cards from Early Bright and Joven now they have the benefit of their debut runs behind them.
Prediction : 1st Call Of The Jungle 2nd Gold Brocade 3rd Early Bright

Hong Kong failed to justify favouritism when finishing eighth in a large-field Curragh maiden over this trip in August and arrives with a little to prove for now. It might be worth taking a chance on Ger Lyons' newcomer FRANK ARTHUR, who is related to debut (and subsequent Group 3) winner Arnold Lane and wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary in order to take a hand. San Pedro should be all the wiser for the experience gained on debut and is respected now fitted with first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Frank Arthur 2nd Hong Kong 3rd San Pedro

Pink Dogwood didn't put her best foot forward in Group 1 company at Longchamp last weekend and should appreciate these calmer shores, while Dadoozdart is chasing a hat-trick and deserves to take her chance in this stronger contest. Whirling Dervish likes soft ground and has enjoyed a 120-day break, but this can go the way of the unexposed HARRIET TUBMAN. Out of Group 1 winner Saoirse Abu, the three-year-old is open to plenty of improvement for Jim Bolger and is worth a chance receiving all of the available allowances.
Prediction : 1st Harriet Tubman 2nd Pink Dogwood 3rd Whirling Dervish

WATCHMAN galloped at one pace when third at Navan three days ago, but he should appreciate this slightly stiffer test of stamina and has shown plenty of ability the last twice. Soft ground evidently suits, and it is no surprise to see him out quickly now utilising first-time blinkers. You'llfindandsee showed a nice attitude to strike at Cork earlier this month and could build on that career-best effort despite a 7lb rise, while Bajan Excell might be good enough for third.
Prediction : 1st Watchman 2nd Youllfindandsee 3rd Bajan Excell

Longoddson hasn't been seen on the track since scoring at this venue 539 days ago and needs a market check for last year's winning yard, while Dunkirk Harbour was deemed good enough to participate in a Group 2 at the Curragh during the summer but was disappointing at Dundalk last time. Preference is for TITANIUM SKY, who was only beaten four-and-a-quarter lengths in a Group 3 at Tipperary 44 days ago. She was unlucky when second in a Listed race at Galway in August and has more to offer.
Prediction : 1st Titanium Sky 2nd Dunkirk Harbour 3rd Longoddson

SWISS ARMY OFFICER ran his best race to date when fourth in a Cork maiden at the start of the month and the son of Swiss Spirit could have progression to come now switched to handicap company. Ecoeye warrants consideration having shown up well on his last couple of outings, while Whatharm, Mk Drama and Solomons Seal complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Swiss Army Officer 2nd Ecoeye 3rd Whatharm

DARE TO FLARE has been a consistent individual over the past couple of months and the son of Dandy Man can go one better than his second at Tipperary on Sunday. Cyrus Dallin can enter the reckoning dropped back in distance having disappointed in the aforementioned contest behind the selection, while a pair of blinkers could see Spanish Tenor take a step forward on recent form.
Prediction : 1st Dare To Flare 2nd Cyrus Dallin 3rd Spanish Tenor
