UK Horse Racing Tips: Limerick

DANCING SAXON hasn't raced for 155 days and meets more experienced rivals, but nonetheless, is a three-year-old who is open to further progression. She was last seen scoring at Dundalk in first-time cheekpieces, in which the runner-up and the third have scored subsequently. Send Harry has won just once from 16 starts but ran well under today's claimer recently, while six-time winner Clonmacash has been running well of late. Inishfallen was once quite capable, although he looks up against it judged on his latest 11th at the Curragh.
Prediction : 1st Dancing Saxon 2nd Send Harry 3rd Clonmacash

The well-bred MONASTERE hadn't shown much prior to two encouraging displays last month, and he can follow up a recent success off 9lb higher. Out of a Group 3-winning mare, the selection was bought for 10,500 euros as a two-year-old in November 2024 and showed big improvement at Fairyhouse before scoring at that same course 10 days ago. He can continue to progress and today's same rider is able to utilise his 5lb claim here. Four-time winner Rappell was narrowly touched off on Wednesday and has strong claims from the same rating. El Fontenaro was narrowly beaten on her most recent outing, although she is an 18-race maiden. Friars Gate disappointed on testing ground here recently but had previously shown promise.
Prediction : 1st Monastere 2nd Rappell 3rd El Fontenaro

The lightly-raced BABY BASMA scored on her opening bid in April last year, but finds herself in this lowly 0-60 grade. A half-sister to a stakes performer, the form of the selection's debut Cork success is nothing special and she was subsequently well held twice at Dundalk, but this ease in class could prove just the ticket. Glen Breeze finished ahead of Jampa Ling when the pair were placed in a similar race at Fairyhouse in early June, while Spirit Above also has recent form.
Prediction : 1st Baby Basma 2nd Glen Breeze 3rd Jampa Ling

106-rated AL HAARITH stands out in this weak-looking maiden. Placed third in the Group 2 Beresford Stakes at the Curragh last September, the selection flopped wearing a first-time tongue-tie on his seasonal reappearance at Fairyhouse last month. While he undoubtedly underperformed then, that was a useful maiden and he was eased in the final furlong. I Got To Go could build on his debut run, while Nottooshabby is out of a nicely-related mare and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Al Haarith 2nd I Got To Go 3rd Nottooshabby

NELLCOTE hasn't raced since her encouraging May debut and now contests a winnable maiden. Out of a well-related Listed-winning mare, the form of the selection's Gowran race is nothing out of the ordinary but she finished that race well and should improve stepping up to this trip. Miss Romagna, out of an unraced Galileo mare, met some traffic on debut before finishing second at Cork in May and is a lot better than her latest effort at Gowran. Mawhibah finished five lengths behind today's rival Stellar Moment at Leopardstown but can turn those placings, having missed the break on that occasion.
Prediction : 1st Nellcote 2nd Miss Romagna 3rd Mawhibah

WITHOUT LOVE scored on the all-weather at Dundalk last January and ran well when reverting to turf recently. The four-year-old seems quite progressive and having bumped into an unexposed winner at Bellewstown, should feature at the business end from 3lb higher. Six-time winner Deluca Chop is chasing a hat-trick and is clearly in top form, although is 6lb higher than when scoring at Down Royal where Paddy Harnett was able to utilise his full 5lb claim. Metamorpheus is 4lb higher than when scoring narrowly at Sligo in May and has been running well over hurdles recently.
Prediction : 1st Without Love 2nd Deluca Chop 3rd Metamorpheus

THEMIS showed big improvement to win over C&D last month and should now continue to progress. Out of a winning dam who has already produced a Group-placed winner, the selection benefitted significantly from stepping up in trip on that occasion and is expected to have more to offer. Maxminelli finished third behind two subsequent winners at Down Royal in May and can enter the reckoning, while Hassaniya was well held in third on handicap debut at Down Royal last month but is capable of better.
Prediction : 1st Themis 2nd Maxminelli 3rd Hassaniya
