UK Horse Racing Tips: Limerick

GAME POINT ran well on his recent hurdles debut and can build on that. Although an 11-race maiden across both codes, the selection has proved a useful performer on the level. He should improve from his jumps bow and dropping in trip should also help. Luker's Tipple has yet to taste victory in 12 attempts over hurdles and has himself frustratingly finished runner-up seven times. He is useful on his day, though, and finished second to subsequent Grade 1 winner Zeus Power in December. French recruit Lureka Du Noyer has form in handicap chases and races on good ground for the first time, with hopes pinned on a drop in distance.
Prediction : 1st Game Point 2nd Lukers Tipple 3rd Lureka Du Noyer

From a good French family, LA COTE FLEURIE scored on bumper debut at Tipperary in October and ran well to finish a close third at Cork on her recent hurdling bow. The latter race was won by a big-priced newcomer, but the selection notably conceded 7lb to the 117-rated runner-up, which adds some substance to the form. Aruntothequeen has been frustrating since landing a Listed bumper back in 2024. Nonetheless, she is experienced and has bumped into some capable types over hurdles, while the newcomer Becca Sommers is out of top racemare Solerina and is worthy of a second look.
Prediction : 1st La Cote Fleurie 2nd Aruntothequeen 3rd Becca Sommers

WHITEWINEWEDNESDAY debuts for owner Patrick Mullins and contests an ordinary handicap, having shown some promise previously. A point-to-point winner last May, the selection was well held on last month's reappearance run but should improve today and, if she returns to her third-placing at Navan in September, should go close. Let Him B was well held on chase debut at Wexford recently, but scored in this grade in March and ran well over C&D in April. Ranting And Raving was fair on the Flat and can compete, while Boston Breeze hung left at Bellewstown and has a somewhat unexposed profile.
Prediction : 1st Whitewinewednesday 2nd Let Him B 3rd Ranting And Raven

MARIAN AVENUE was well supported when bumping into a nicely-handicapped winner at Punchestown recently and has the ability to gain compensation. Out of a bumper and hurdle-winning mare, the selection's initial form was poor but he showed big improvement earlier this month. He has been raised 5lb but remains unexposed. Veteran mare Hob's Angel is 6lb higher than when scoring at Clonmel, while Getaway Harry should compete on his reappearance. Coup D'essay and Friar Hogan are potential improvers.
Prediction : 1st Marian Avenue 2nd Hobs Angel 3rd Getaway Henry

Top weight MINELLA DIAMOND opened his account over timber with a victory in maiden company at Clonmel earlier this month. He was conceding 8lb to the runner-up on that occasion, so could prove competitive off his current mark handicapping for the first time with the underfoot conditions in his favour. Chemdawg gained an overdue hurdling success at Kilbeggan last month. She's been raised 8lb, but is still preferred to Committee Meeting, who has bits of form over hurdles and should improve following a recent reappearance.
Prediction : 1st Minella Diamond 2nd Chemdawg 3rd Committee Meeting

Point-to-point winner EMBRACE THE DAY may benefit from stepping up in trip here. The Fascinating Rock gelding ran a solid enough race when fourth over 2m3f at Kilbeggan last month and remains on the same mark. Cozone was well held at Down Royal last time and coming back slightly in trip may help him. He had been an easy winner on his previous appearance at Downpatrick. The Sugarhill Lady has been fourth on her last two outings and was eased 2lb after her most recent run at Clonmel. She tries further now and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Embrace The Day 2nd Cozone 3rd The Sugarhill Lady

THE STRIKER DYLAN could be on a nice mark over hurdles on his return. The Affinisea gelding won over fences at Sligo back in October and currently has a mark of 99 over the larger obstacles. He is rated 8lb lower over timber and may be able to make use of that in a moderate contest. Doing It In Style takes a significant step up in trip after finishing sixth at Downpatrick. She remains relatively unexposed and, with cheekpieces tried, she could play a big role. Head For Home ran a solid enough race when fourth at Cork and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st The Striker Dylan 2nd Doing It In Style 3rd Head For Home

BRAVE LADY was given a stiff task on her return to action in a Grade 2 contest at Aintree last month and this looks like a more suitable target. The Vadamos mare ran well when third on her debut at Galway last summer and a repeat of that showing may be enough to land a race of this standard. The Joseph O'Brien-trained newcomer Land Me Safe commands respect. The yard won a bumper with her full-brother Walk On The Beach a couple of years ago. Aodha's Arrow shaped with promise in two outings last summer and is another who has to come into calculations.
Prediction : 1st Brave Lady 2nd Land Me Safe 3rd Aodhas Arrow
