UK Horse Racing Tips: Limerick

MONGIBELLO has 14lb to find with Jalila Moriviere on ratings but can be depended upon to run to a useful level. Listed-placed in a bumper in November 2023, her hurdles form hasn't been as strong but nonetheless ran two solid races at Fairyhouse in January, with the latter race being at Grade 3-level. Jalila Moriviere disappointed on her Irish debut here last Christmas but returns following a break. She could leave that form well behind, but didn't feature at Cheltenham last week and now wears a first-time tongue-tie. Lep Around is out of form.
Prediction : 1st Mongibello 2nd Jalila Moriviere 3rd Lep Around

ELLAAT won a recent claimer and should again compete in this winnable handicap. An eight-time winner with an ability to handle all terrains, the selection benefited from January's course reappearance run when scoring subsequently at Clonmel and a reproduction, for a new team, would give him every chance. Falcon Park also debuts for new connections and ran well on Thyestes day in January. He races from a career-high rating but softening ground will suit. The Nagger Reidy weakened late-on at Fairyhouse last month but can compete on best form.
Prediction : 1st Ellaat 2nd Falcon Park 3rd The Nagger Reidy

GOOD N' KIND hasn't run for 379 days but had plenty ability in 2023/24 and should be ready for today's reappearance. An impressive point-to-point winner, he subsequently ran well in a heavy-ground Gowran bumper when finishing well clear of the other beaten horses. The winner of that race Port Joulain has recently scored over hurdles when, in turn, defeated today's runner Champagne Kid by 31 lengths in January. Admittedly Champagne Kid is better judged on more recent efforts but is nonetheless vulnerable to smart types. Dr Eggman holds Champagne Kid by a half-length on February form although he too is vulnerable to a promising prospect.
Prediction : 1st Good N Kind 2nd Dr Eggman 3rd Champagne Kid

DON'T TALK will appreciate the softening ground and can complete a hat-trick of recent chase wins. His form can be in-and-out but in January ran two consistently good races to win at Down Royal and Fairyhouse. Although he has been raised a career-high rating of 110, he has been placed over hurdles when rated just 2lb lower and he looks to be a better chaser. Springt De La Mare should also appreciate conditions but has a huge weight, while Soloman Lane has been running well recently but climbs 3lb in the handicap.
Prediction : 1st Dont Talk 2nd Springt De La Mare 3rd Soloman Lane

Softening ground is a concern for in-form MONBEG PARK but he might still win. Placed in the Leopardstown Chase in February before landing a Listed chase at that course earlier this month, the selection's best form is on a sound surface but did manage a bumper success on soft to heavy. He has done most of his racing over middle-distances but was Graded-placed over hurdles at this trip. Fun Fun Fun is suited by soft and she won nicely on her chase debut, before being well held at Exeter. Shannon Royale is noted too.
Prediction : 1st Monbeg Park 2nd Fun Fun Fun 3rd Shannon Royale

SAINTE DONA's form is in-and-out but returned to her best recently. Her two career wins were gained by 25 and 26 lengths respectively and a reproduction of that latest Punchestown effort would give her every chance, with softening ground very much in her favour. The handicapper has given Fairyhill Run a sporting chance by dropping her 5lb since her last run 10 days ago, when she appeared to tire late on. Rated 138 at her peak, she should improve from that recent effort and stays well, but would prefer better ground. Banprionsa's Clonmel form was boosted by the runner-up subsequently finishing second in the Dublin National.
Prediction : 1st Sainte Dona 2nd Fairyhill Run 3rd Banprionsa

THISCOULDBETHEONE makes plenty of appeal with Derek O'Connor being a notable booking in a hot Listed bumper. Six of the selection's siblings were winners including brother City Island, who landed the 2019 Ballymore Hurdle at Cheltenham for these connections. Form horses Oneinthewell and Eternal Echo are closely matched on recent Leopardstown form, while Light Up The Dark readily beat Scarriff Bridge into second to win at Naas. Carrigmoorna Beech won by 12 lengths at Gowran and is also respected.
Prediction : 1st Thiscouldbetheone 2nd Oneinthewell 3rd Carrigmoorna Beech
