UK Horse Racing Tips: Limerick

FLY DE MEGAUDAIS showed much more at Tipperary, which brings him into contention for this race. He only gave best on the run-in and was beaten less than two lengths into third. Dreamsrmadeofthis fell in Tramore, but the form of her third on her penultimate start at Thurles gives her claims. Crowsatedappletart has been in decent nick over hurdles and bids to exploit a lower mark over fences. He hasn't shown much in two outings in this sphere, but there is still time to change that. Name Me Famous has been off since September, but did post a useful second place in a novice handicap chase at Sligo then. The Eye Of Tulla and Hard Rain are far from out of contention.
Prediction : 1st Fly De Megaudais 2nd Dreamsrmadeofthis 3rd Crowsatedappletart

JEREMYS FLAME can give the weight away. On paper, this is a stiff test considering that she is rated 4lb superior to Hurricane Georgie, but has to give her 15lb. Jeremys Flame has been in terrific form since October, though, winning at Galway before picking up a Grade 3 in Naas and a Listed chase at Huntingdon. Hurricane Georgie has been off since October, but has plenty of solid form in the book, including when landing the Midlands National in Kilbeggan last summer. She has gone nicely off a break before. Effernock Fizz emerged with credit from a runner-up berth in a Grade 3 chase at Killarney this month, with Minx Tiara well behind her in fourth.
Prediction : 1st Jeremys Flame 2nd Hurricane Georgie 3rd Effernock Fizz

CAESAR ROCK is vulnerable to a chasing newcomer, but his experience stands him in good stead and he holds an each-way chance. He ran well for a long way over a similar trip at Killarney before finishing third behind the market principals. The Friday Man was beaten into third at odds-on in Down Royal, but he will appreciate this better ground and that was only his first crack at fences. Grozni has been mixing in deep waters over hurdles, and trip and ground look ideal for his first go at fences. San Salvador is interesting on chasing debut. Joseph O'Brien's charge won twice over the smaller obstacles, including in a Grade B handicap hurdle at Punchestown.
Prediction : 1st Caesar Rock 2nd The Friday Man 3rd Grozni

WINNIE WOODNUTT has won three point-to-points, including this spring at Borris House, and gained her first success under Rules when taking a Kilbeggan handicap hurdle in good style last month. The Kalanisi mare now switches to racecourse fences for the first time and young amateur Alex Harvey again claims 7lb. Likable Chancer has returned to form recently fitted with blinkers, causing a 33/1 shock at Tramore before beating all bar the odds-on Full Noise at Downpatrick. O Mio Babbino won on good ground at Thurles earlier this year, while recent point-to-point winner Tech Talk is another to consider. Meehall won twice on varying ground conditions last year and should progress from a run at Ballinrobe last month. Course hurdle winner Shean Glory can't be discounted either.
Prediction : 1st Winnie Woodnutt 2nd Likable Chancer 3rd Tech Talk

SOME DOVE makes her chase debut on seasonal reappearance but was capable last summer. A dual hurdle winner, she is ideally suited by good ground, is joint top rated at 109 over hurdles and is further helped by today's mares' allowance. She will be well schooled and is forward-going. It'sallabouteve is similarly 109-rated over hurdles and receives 7lb and while race-fit, makes her chase debut and might prefer slower ground. Bonne Debut, a first-time-out winner, also debuts over fences but has pointing experience. She likes good ground but would prefer further. Lightly-weighted Hope Des Blins has a chase rating of 112 but has fallen three times over fences and reappears. Race-fit Friends N Commerce makes his chase debut but could fare better in this sphere while Gali Flight looked likely to finish second when exiting at Kilbeggan last month.
Prediction : 1st Some Dove 2nd Itsallabouteve 3rd Bonne Debut

FULL NOISE returned to form when winning at Downpatrick and might defy a 12lb hike. Disqualified from his initial 2021 win, his best form is over staying distances so should appreciate today's extra distance and is also well suited by a sound surface. Veteran Sanibel Island is also suited by good ground and while well held on his latest run, has has a break since and should compete from his rating. Tullyhogue Fort wasn't beaten far over hurdles at Bangor last month and is ideally suited by today's distance and good ground. Gondor is a lightly-raced maiden eight year old who returns from a break but has claims on best form and also likes good ground.
Prediction : 1st Full Noise 2nd Sanibel Island 3rd Tullyhogue Fort

THE ABBEY is 9lb higher than when winning a similar race at Down Royal earlier this month but is dependable and is suited by conditions. Ideally suited by summer staying races, today's similar stamina test will help. Goodnightngodbless took 27 runs to win over fences, at Wexford on Saturday, but is also well suited to staying distances. Her same rider claims 2lb less today and is 7lb higher (and 2lb 'wrong' under her fixed penalty) with today's quick reappearance also not being ideal. Earths Furies is a dual course winner who stays well but would prefer soft ground while Battle Of Mirbat is interesting stepping back up in distance and is race-fit. Centurion Steel hung left-handed at Cheltenham in October and returns following a break while Outside The Door stays well but also returns following a break.
Prediction : 1st The Abbey 2nd Goodnightngodbless 3rd Earths Furies
