UK Horse Racing Tips: Limerick

CIEL DE NEIGE has the best overall form on offer having finished third in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham earlier this year and, having made a promising Fairyhouse reappearance four weeks ago, is fancied to put this field to the sword. The four-year-old certainly doesn't lack for pace, and would take some stopping if running to his official rating of 135. Argumental makes just his second start for Joseph O'Brien and can prove next best, just ahead of Wexford third Coolbane Boy.
Prediction : 1st Ciel De Neige 2nd Argumental 3rd Coolbane Boy

HASH BROWN stayed on stoutly to finish fourth in a deeper race at Punchestown over this distance in October and a repeat effort might well suffice in a contest lacking in quality. The 10-year-old might just need to drop a little in the weights, but he is a solid option and won't mind whichever way the ground turns. Cappacurry Zak has finished second in a couple of fairly recent point-to-point races and merits respect, while Flemenstorm returned to a bit of form at Navan 12 days ago and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Hash Brown 2nd Cappacurry Zak 3rd Flemenstorm

SUPER CITIZEN is a three-time winner between the flags and is the clear form pick in a contest such as this for Eugene O'Sullivan. Heavy ground is a slight concern for the five-year-old, but he is open to improvement in this sphere and might just get away with it. Call It Time won a point-to-point at Tattersalls Farm earlier this month and is duly noted, while Presenting Europe merits a market check now in the care of Jim Dreaper.
Prediction : 1st Super Citizen 2nd Call It Time 3rd Presenting Europe

FURY ROAD has improved considerably on his bumper form since going over timber and made easy work of winning an uncompetitive Grade 3 at Navan last month. The step up in trip is unlikely to prove any issue for Gordon Elliott's charge, who can continue his progression facing stronger opposition. Well Set Up has benefited from stepping up to 3m on her last couple of starts at Cork and is likely to be competitive along with Vis Ta Loi, who placed behind Well Set Up last time, and Foveros.
Prediction : 1st Fury Road 2nd Well Set Up 3rd Vis Ta Loi

COLREEVY was beaten at odds on when runner-up on her hurdling debut at Cork last month but she possesses a strong level of bumper form, having won a Grade 1 against the geldings at Punchestown, and the step up in distance appears likely to see her improve. Scarlet And Dove won a bumper in impressive fashion here on her racecourse bow and can enter the reckoning along with her stable companion Lady Breffni.
Prediction : 1st Colreevy 2nd Scarlet And Dove 3rd Lady Breffni

SHANTOU SISU looked set to be successful in his attempt to make all at Clonmel last month before falling two from home and providing that crashing fall hasn't left a mark, he could pick up some compensation here off just a 1lb higher mark. Knockraha Boss has made the podium the last twice and is another who appears feasibly treated, while Our Roxane was in decent form in the summer and can't be ignored following 131 days off.
Prediction : 1st Shantou Sisu 2nd Knockraha Boss 3rd Our Roxane

Henry De Bromhead won this 12 months ago and his Gigginstown debutant BAPTISM OF FIRE could be the answer having transferred for 100,000 pounds following his success in the Courtown pointing field in the spring. The leading owners also saddle a half-brother to the useful Some Neck in Lieutenant Command and Mr Lingo, a 250,000-pound purchase who makes a belated debut for Gordon Elliott. The latter's stablemate Getabay is also noted, with Jamie Codd an eye-catching jockey booking.
Prediction : 1st Baptism Of Fire 2nd Getabay 3rd Mr Lingo
