UK Horse Racing Tips: Limerick

GARDE LA PECHE made such an impression in a point-to-point at Durrow in March that she was since purchased by the high-flying Robcour outfit, and is now in the hands of Henry De Bromhead. This looks like a perfect way to get her career under Rules off to a flyer, with French recruit Judicieuse Allen looking best placed to chase her home, being by a sire that her trainer has had plenty of success with in the past. Pallas Athene arrives with a similar profile to the selection and must also enter calculations.
Prediction : 1st Garde La Peche 2nd Judicieuse Allen 3rd Pallas Athene

Trainer David Christie landed this contest last year and he can follow suit this time around with HATHAWAYS COTTAGE, who was an impressive winner of a Ballindenisk point-to-point earlier in the month. The daughter of Mahler remains totally unexposed after just four starts between the flags and is preferred to Romeo Magico and Dromleigh, who ran with plenty of credit when third at Fairyhouse last month.
Prediction : 1st Hathaways Cottage 2nd Dromleigh 3rd Romeo Magico

A beaten favourite when second in a Grade 2 at Cork last time, HARMONYA MAKER can gain compensation on the step up in trip, while upholding form with Hauturiere (fourth), who has three lengths to make up from that contest. Gordon Elliott's mare was a taking winner on her chase debut at Gowran Park and she remains open to plenty of improvement with conditions in her favour. Henning may have a bit to find with these on hurdle ratings, but she is a capable sort on her day.
Prediction : 1st Harmonya Maker 2nd Hauturiere 3rd Henning

Useful bumper performer NO TIME TO WAIT scored over timber at the second time of asking with a ready victory at Cork last time. The Walk In The Park gelding is clearly open to further improvement and is fancied to go in again. 2022 Grand National winner Noble Yeats has only one hurdling run to his name, a bloodless success in a Navan maiden back in March 2021. Emmet Mullins' charge is a fascinating contender, but probably has bigger targets for later in the season. Sa Majeste makes his seasonal return for powerful connections and warrants respect, especially if attracting support in the betting market.
Prediction : 1st No Time To Wait 2nd Noble Yeats 3rd Sa Majeste

Farmix has some useful form in the book over both hurdles and fences, but Liz Doyle's eight-year-old has been off the track for the best part of three years and ALPESH AMIN may be a safer option. The selection posted a good effort when third over an extended 3m at Punchestown latest, but today's step back in distance is unlikely to unduly inconvenience him. Ardera Ru has largely held her form since returning in the autumn and also makes the shortlist, while little went right for Quest With Speed at Punchestown latest and he is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Alpesh Amin 2nd Quest With Speed 3rd Ardera Ru

PETIT DEJEUNER ran out a decisive winner when opening her account on her handicap bow at Limerick last month. The five-year-old won with enough in hand that day to suggest that a 7lb rise in the ratings isn't insurmountable and she looks one to keep the right side of. New Barn Lane was behind the selection in second that day and he must enter calculations off only 2lb higher here, with Pidoyne and The Mass Path also requiring a second look.
Prediction : 1st Petit Dejeuner 2nd New Barn Lane 3rd Pidoyne

Winning 3m pointer HENS TOOTH won a shade cosily on his second appearance between the flags at Belclare in March. The five-year-old has since joined Willie Mullins and he may have enough speed to thwart likely threat Lough Owel. The gelded son of Hillstar boasts a similar profile to the selection and he isn't taken lightly. His stablemate Muhtaluza also makes some appeal on paper and the market should prove informative.
Prediction : 1st Hens Tooth 2nd Lough Owel 3rd Muhtaluza
