UK Horse Racing Tips: Limerick

Having found only one rival too strong on her last two outings, Kimi De Mai must rank highly on any shortlist. However, Willie Mullins' mare may have to play second fiddle once more if BRICKFIELD BELLE can translate her bumper form into this discipline. The five-year-old thumped her rivals when scoring by 15 lengths at Galway last month, so she clearly has an engine. Aboras Mahler may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Brickfield Belle 2nd Kimi De Mai 3rd Aboras Mahler

Although no match for an impressive winner, APPROVAL still got the better of 14 other rivals on his most recent outing at Listowel. The five-year-old ticks plenty of the right boxes and he could make it fifth time lucky over hurdles. Global Submission is an intriguing contender on his belated return to action/hurdling bow and market support would be interesting, while Thinkitdontjinxit must also calculations judged on the pick of his bumper form.
Prediction : 1st Approval 2nd Global Submission 3rd Thinkitdontjinxit

A winning favourite on his latest start at Tramore, WAY DOWN SOUTH is sure to prove popular again. Gillian Scott's charge scored with enough in hand to suggest that a 6lb higher mark is far from insurmountable and he's taken to follow up at the main expense of Tell Me See. The five-year-old offered plenty of encouragement when third on his handicap bow at Listowel and this extra furlong is forecast to suit. Handicap debutants Zambezi Moon and Cool Native are others of interest.
Prediction : 1st Way Down South 2nd Tell Me See 3rd Zambezi Moon

LUCY WANG had shown precious little in two starts for Emmet Mullins before finishing an extremely creditable second at Gowran Park and she is taken to go one place better now that the penny has seemingly dropped. Haveanothertry makes his handicap bow following a decent third at Listowel and looks a serious threat at the head of the handicap, as does Duce Bigalow, who continued his fine form on the back of a summer break when hitting the frame at Roscommon.
Prediction : 1st Lucy Wang 2nd Haveanothertry 3rd Duce Bigalow

An open renewal sees 16 head to post and ANYWAY could be the pick of them. The Jukebox Jury gelding took home the silver medal on the Flat at Listowel latest, but impressed when previously winning at Tramore. He's only 3lb higher and should still have bit more in the locker, but if there are any chinks in his armour, Bossofthebrownies may well exploit them. A useful novice chaser last term, that experience won't be lost on him and stamina will not be an issue. French Dynamite won this off 2lb lower 12 months ago and cannot be ruled out, nor can Uhavemeinstitches, who has been given time to get over her below-par Punchestown effort.
Prediction : 1st Anyway 2nd Bossofthebrownies 3rd French Dynamite

A drop in trip proved no barrier to success for Miners Bridge when completing a double at Sligo 18 days ago. However, a further 7lb rise in the handicap does demand more of the nine-year-old, which could leave the door open for seasonal debutant ZURICH. Henry De Bromhead's inmate lost little in defeat when runner-up in the Grade 2 Silver Trophy at Haydock in April and he can show his class in these calmer waters. Park That could also feature at the business end.
Prediction : 1st Zurich 2nd Miners Bridge 3rd Park That

A case can be made for all of these based on peak efforts. However, the nature of the race gives FUTURE PROSPECT a decent chance of ending a frustrating run of second-placed finishes. Having fallen on her chasing debut last May, the Willie Mullins-trained mare hasn't done too much wrong in defeat since and it can pay to give her another chance here. Amen Kate was outclassed in a Grade 1 novice hurdle at Fairyhouse but rates a big danger at this level, while Echoing Silence is not ruled out representing last year's winning stable.
Prediction : 1st Future Prospect 2nd Amen Kate 3rd Echoing Silence
