UK Horse Racing Tips: Limerick

BERTUTEA showed promise on both hurdle starts at Auteuil earlier in the year and could prove a tough nut to crack on his first appearance for Willie Mullins. Mode Avion is entitled to step forward from his Punchestown third and can enter the reckoning along with Kilmeaden, a winner on the Flat at the Galway Festival who ended the season rated 91.
Prediction : 1st Bertutea 2nd Mode Avion 3rd Kilmeaden

LAURETS D'ESTRUVAL finished second on his only outing to date at Pau last December and may prove to be yet another exciting Closutton recruit as the champion trainer begins to take the wraps off some of his better novice hurdle prospects. Ravendark is likely to progress from his debut third at Fairyhouse, while others to note include Starting Fifteen and Le Roi Du Livet.
Prediction : 1st Laurets Destruval 2nd Ravendark 3rd Starting Fifteen

THE BIG CLUBMAN shaped as though this step up in trip would really suit when finishing a solid second in a Navan Grade 3 over 2m4f last time. Runner-up in a point-to-point, the Wexford winner is expected to take a step forward and have too much for County Final, who is improving and took the silver medal home in handicap company at Punchestown latest. Keep Santo Sospir in mind too.
Prediction : 1st The Big Clubman 2nd County Final 3rd Santo Sospir

KATIE DANIELS is the one to beat on the evidence of a really impressive Fairyhouse maiden hurdle success. Now sent handicapping for the first time, the former point-to-point scorer looks well treated off 110 and should have more improvement in her. Carried With Love has been running well without winning and must enter calculations, while Cousin Kate is another with solid form claims.
Prediction : 1st Katie Daniels 2nd Carried With Love 3rd Cousin Kate

MOUDAN was a close-up third in a beginners' chase at Clonmel earlier this month and could be hard to beat with another step forward on his handicap debut over fences. Anotherway was fifth in a race that has the potential to work out well and he also warrants close inspection in the betting, while Ad Caelum is back at a more winnable level after finding life tough in a Grade 2 at Cork most recently.
Prediction : 1st Moudan 2nd Anotherway 3rd Ad Caelum

STONEYFORD LADY was a convincing winner over fences at Thurles last month and a 7lb higher mark looks well within her compass on just her third start in this discipline. Happy Dreams and Doyen Magic have been in good form over hurdles lately and both revert to the larger obstacles with solid claims in a race heavy on numbers but lacking in those with convincing recent chasing form. Dream In The Park won this off 5lb lower last year and cannot be ruled out from having another big say.
Prediction : 1st Stoneyford Lady 2nd Happy Dreams 3rd Doyen Magic

STORM QUEEN impressed when making all to win her point-to-point at Dromahane in April by over five lengths and may take plenty of catching on her debut under Rules. Think It Through also won her sole point-to-point before disappointing at Naas in a bumper but she could do better with that run under her belt, while Torpille Dagrostis is another capable of being in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Storm Queen 2nd Think It Through 3rd Torpille Dagrostis
