UK Horse Racing Tips: Limerick

Point-to-point winner Forceonmyown struck in a bumper at Punchestown in January and is respected for the in-form Gordon Elliott team, but NOT NEGOTIABLE gets the vote. The six-year-old mare justified cramped odds at Tipperary in April last year and looks to have found a good opportunity on her first appearance over timber. Galileo Dame placed in a Grade 1 juvenile at Leopardstown in February and has to be of interest back over timber.
Prediction : 1st Not Negotiable 2nd Forceonmyown 3rd Galileo Dame

West Cork Wildway capitalised on a career-low mark to score over the smaller obstacles at Cork last time and is respected back over fences. However, DECIMATION produced a better performance to make the frame at Fairyhouse on his latest outing and is just 1lb higher. If reproducing that level of form, the 10-year-old could be the one to beat. Of the remainder, Dundaniel makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Decimation 2nd West Cork Wildway 3rd Dundaniel

Last season's Albert Bartlett runner-up THE BIG WESTERNER shaped with encouragement on her second-placed chase bow behind Coral Cup hero Jimmy Du Seuil at Fairyhouse last month. The six-year-old should appreciate this step up in distance and she holds obvious claims. Farfromnowhere wasn't disgraced on her first attempt over fences when filling the runner-up spot at Cork, but it is too soon to be writing off reopposing third Jade De Grugy, a dual Grade 1 winner over timber, and she's feared most.
Prediction : 1st The Big Westerner 2nd Jade De Grugy 3rd Farfromnowhere

Although STORM HEART hasn't been the easiest to train, he clearly possesses plenty of ability. A reproduction of his runner-up effort in a Listed handicap hurdle at Leopardstown in February is likely to prove too strong for these rivals and a second victory over timber may beckon. Riskaway impressed when making a winning start over the smaller obstacles at Thurles and he can keep the selection honest, along with Parnell Street.
Prediction : 1st Storm Heart 2nd Riskaway 3rd Parnell Street

TORPS deserves to get his head in front for the first time after a recent run of placed efforts and, with Emily Costello claiming 4lb from the saddle, the five-year-old has every chance. Midweek Voices won twice last season over fences at Punchestown and Gowran Park and has a handicap mark 10lb lower over the smaller obstacles suggesting he can go well with a recent pipe-opener under his belt. He could get the better of Cork runner-up Rowdy in the race for second.
Prediction : 1st Torps 2nd Midweek Voices 3rd Rowdy

GWAN TADHG returns from a lengthy absence but if repeating the level of his Tramore third in May 2024, he has every chance off 1lb lower. Trebizond won twice in 2023 and is one to watch on his first start since August the same year, while Naas fourth King Kali is another to consider. Others to note are Peaceinthevalley and Wardens Whisper.
Prediction : 1st Gwan Tadhg 2nd Trebizond 3rd King Kali

RIVER VALE won nicely at Naas last time on his return to 2m. He has a 7lb hike to contend with, but there could be more to come over this distance and the underfoot conditions remain in his favour. Harry's Dream is less certain to appreciate the testing going after scoring on better ground at Thurles last month. The latter could still have a say in proceedings, while Clonmel fourth Sheriffhill makes most appeal of the rest.
Prediction : 1st River Vale 2nd Harrys Dream 3rd Sheriffhill
