UK Horse Racing Tips: Limerick

An intriguing contest to start proceedings, in which preference is for BUNTING, who debuts for Willie Mullins having bolted up on the Flat at Fontainebleau in March. There are signs of encouragement in his pedigree, so it would come as no surprise to see him make an immediate impact over timber. Voice Of Reason struck in a Killarney maiden over the summer and he is another that might benefit from the change in code. Stablemate Timeless Piece is fancied to chase the pair home.
Prediction : 1st Bunting 2nd Voice Of Reason 3rd Timeless Piece

Connections will have been a little disappointed that JOLIE COEUR ALLEN was unable to notch up a maiden hurdles success at Tramore last month, having finished a creditable fifth in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree the start prior. She ought to have learned plenty from that experience and this looks a fine opportunity to get on the scoresheet. Picture Of You, who was narrowly denied at Cork 30 days ago, would appear to be her main danger. Others to note include Nathan Wells and Joyau De Thaix.
Prediction : 1st Jolie Coeur Allen 2nd Picture Of You 3rd Nathan Wells

This contest is likely to prove instructive in assessing the Irish staying novice hurdlers with LOUGHGLYNN and Search For Glory both promising sorts. The latter landed a Grade 3 at Cork last time and Gordon Elliott's dour stayer is likely to be firmly in the mix once again. He may struggle to concede 3lb to Willie Mullins' gelding, who showed smart form in bumpers last term and a facile success on his hurdling debut at Punchestown last month suggests that he can take high rank in this sphere. Stellar Story and Tramore winner Banprionsa appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Loughglynn 2nd Search For Glory 3rd Stellar Story

ME WEE BONNIE LASS is unbeaten in two starts over the smaller obstacles, including when accounting for her nearest rival by over two lengths on her handicap debut at Gowran Park last month. The daughter of Doyen could improve for the step up in distance and can defy her 12lb hike. The main danger might be Ms Agartha Yeats, who hit the crossbar over 2m6f at Navan last time and could land a blow off a 4lb higher rating, while Return To Base should find this easier than her assignment at Ballinrobe in September.
Prediction : 1st Me Wee Bonnie Lass 2nd Ms Agartha Yeats 3rd Return To Base

THE KING OF PRS got up in the dying strides to deny Henn See (second) by a length on his chase debut at Wexford and he would have learned a great deal from that experience. The son of Dansant shaped as if this slightly extra distance could eke out more improvement and he can confirm that form to take this. As for the latter, he went on to be victorious by just over a length at Clonmel and can put it up to the selection again. Of the remainder, Irish Blaze makes the most appeal on his first start for the Cian Collins stable.
Prediction : 1st The King Of Prs 2nd Henn See 3rd Irish Blaze

ROLLY BOWLEY BOY bumped into a well-handicapped rival when second at Navan nine days ago and the application of a visor can see the six-year-old go one better here. That said, Mahlers Cove should not be underestimated having made the frame at Naas last time, while Meehall is another with strong form claims. The shortlist is completed by Freddie Robdal and Teescomponentsyess.
Prediction : 1st Rolly Bowley Boy 2nd Mahlers Cove 3rd Meehall

Workinonadream sets the standard having filled second place in all three of her previous starts but a chance can be taken with the well-bred MAGIC MCCOLGAN. Willie Mullins' filly cost 88,000 euros as a foal and she is a full-sister Tornado Flyer, who won a Grade 1 bumper before going on to score in the King George VI Chase at Kempton. Others to consider are Sainte Baol and Rachel's Secret.
Prediction : 1st Magic McColgan 2nd Workinonadream 3rd Sainte Baol
