UK Horse Racing Tips: Limerick

JASON THE MILITANT made a pleasing start to his hurdling career when runner-up to an easy winner at Fairyhouse last month and the five-year-old is expected to improve from that experience. You Can Call Me Al has achieved a decent level of form over timber so far and can enter the reckoning along with General Counsel, who placed on his racecourse bow in a Cork bumper.
Prediction : 1st Jason The Militant 2nd You Can Call Me Al 3rd General Counsel

FULLY CHARGED ran on in good style to finish second on his Rules debut at Punchestown last month and the son of Fair Mix has been found a decent opportunity to get off the mark. Drifting Back's third in a Limerick handicap on his latest start can see him be competitive once again, while others to note include Memory Tree, third at Tramore 18 days ago, and Fou Diligence.
Prediction : 1st Fully Charged 2nd Drifting Back 3rd Memory Tree

All About Alfie got the better of EAGLE ROQUE at Naas when the pair met 12 days ago but the latter can reverse the form as he wears blinkers for the first time which could make the requisite difference. Likable Chancer has placed on his last couple of hurdle outings and can enter the reckoning with Frere Fontaine, who could benefit from cheekpieces, and Araukan.
Prediction : 1st Eagle Roque 2nd Likable Chancer 3rd Frere Fontaine

UNE LAVANDIERE romped to a 15-length victory at Tramore earlier this month and she could have enough in hand to follow up here despite the 12lb rise handed for that win. The ground and return to further won't be a problem and Hugh Morgan's 7lb allowance is another bonus for the mare, who represents a thriving Henry De Bromhead team. Paranoid is an interesting handicap debutant and tries three miles for the first time, while Frankly All Talk could prove well treated reverting to hurdles following a win over the larger obstacles at Punchestown.
Prediction : 1st Une Lavandiere 2nd Paranoid 3rd Frankly All Talk

GLENLOE caught the eye massively when running on past tired horses to finish third in the Foxrock Handicap Chase at Navan last time and today could be the time to catch him off the same rating. Minella Times was the winner of that aforementioned event and has to be respected for a trainer in form, while the green and gold of JP McManus is also carried by Shady Operator and Uisce Beatha, who can't be discounted. Drumacoo has shaped nicely over hurdles of late and is interesting returning to fences, with Articulum, Redhotfillypeppers and the returning Hardback others to keep onside.
Prediction : 1st Glenloe 2nd Minella Times 3rd Drumacoo

THREE IS COMPANY bolted up in a beginners chase over the extended 2m5f at Tramore earlier in the month and is expected to continue on an upward curve for Gordon Elliott. Stones And Roses kept on strongly in the finish over 2m5f at Cork last time and could be putting in his best work late on now cutting back in trip. The pick of the remainder may be Great Khan if he can reproduce the form he showed over this trip at Galway and Thurles earlier in the season.
Prediction : 1st Three Is Company 2nd Stones And Roses 3rd Great Khan

TORYGRAPH shaped with an abundance of promise when second over an extended 2m on debut at Punchestown last month and is expected to take closer order with the benefit of that initial spin under his belt. Julies Stowaway is entitled to build on a solid first outing under Rules at Navan and is feared most, though any money for Joseph O'Brien's debutant Fire Attack would also be worth heeding.
Prediction : 1st Torygraph 2nd Julies Stowaway 3rd Fire Attack
