(7) Rocky's Diamond 22/1, Once-raced maiden. Hooded tongue strap on, thirteenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy, 25/1) on NH debut 41 days ago. Always at the back on debut at Gowran, headgear used then is discarded, makes no appeal.

2nd (6) (11/8 +21%) Palamon
1.375
11/8(+21%)
(6) Palamon 11/8, Fairly useful winner at 10f on Flat and made a promising start over hurdles. Effort best excused when pulled up in juvenile hurdle at Cheltenham (16.4f, heavy, 25/1) 38 days ago, badly hampered fourth. Remains with potential in a first-time tongue tie, so should take the beating. Good run when third at Naas, pulled up in the Boodles after interference, leading chance.

3rd (5) (6/4 +25%) Mordor
1.5
6/4(+25%)
(5) Mordor 6/4, Lightly-raced maiden. Brought down in juvenile hurdle (66/1) at Cheltenham (16.4f, heavy) 38 days ago. hasn't really kicked on from a promising hurdling debut but can't be written off back in calmer waters. Failures after promising hurdling debut, brought down at fourth in the Boodles, respected.

16/1(+20%)

(13) Drop The Harrow 125/1, First run since leaving Anthony McCann when pulled up in handicap hurdle (125/1) at Naas (16f, soft) 15 days ago won by Ernie From Nurney, tailing off 3 out. Pulled up on seasonal/stable debut in Naas event won by Ernie From Nurney, makes no appeal.

(6) Lough Owel 11/4, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. Creditable third of 10 in novice hurdle at Cork (24.4f, heavy, 9/1) 18 days ago. Stable in good form. One to keep on right side. Gave a much-improved display at Cork, closely matched with Driscolls Hill on that evidence.

(10) Stellar Jury 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. 300/1, eighteenth of 20 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) on hurdles bow 19 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Poor bumper form, massive price when tailed off on hurdling debut at Fairyhouse.
9
|PU| (9) (66/1 -100%) Larkins Lane
66
66/1(-100%)
(9) Larkins Lane 66/1, Dylan Thomas mare. Dam fair 2m hurdle winner (stayed 3m). Entitled to come on for the run. By Dylan Thomas out of minor hurdles winner, not an obvious contender first time out.
5
|PU| (5) (100/1 +0%) Le Goom
100
100/1(+0%)
(5) Le Goom 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Pulled up in novice hurdle at Naas (16f, soft, 250/1) 15 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Huge price when pulled up Naas early this month, safe to leave him out of calculations.
(3) Cosmo Renfro 9/2, Course winner (24.5f) in November and improved on that form since, latest when second of 9 in handicap hurdle (10/3) here (21f, heavy) 8 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Highly consistent this season, has been running over further but holds an obvious chance.
8
2nd (8) (13/2 +13%) Beeverstown Place
6.5
13/2(+13%)
(8) Beeverstown Place 13/2, Back from 10 weeks off when good third of 15 in handicap hurdle over C&D (heavy, 20/1) 8 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Likely to go well again. Makes a quick reappearance after an encouraging run at this venue last week, blinkered now.
4
3rd (4) (17/2 -13%) Cosmic Rock
8.5
17/2(-13%)
(4) Cosmic Rock 17/2, Course winner. 17/2, respectable ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16f, heavy) 18 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Merits consideration. No sign of his best form since a third placing at this venue in December, others preferred.
1
4th (1) (5/1 +17%) Wee Charlie
5
5/1(+17%)
(1) Wee Charlie 5/1, 15/2, running well fell in handicap chase at this course (17.5f, heavy) 40 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Not out of things. Held in second when falling in a chase here last time, useful hurdles form last season.
11
5th (11) (10/1 +0%) Without Exception
10
10/1(+0%)
(11) Without Exception 10/1, Fared better than previously when third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (20f, soft) 33 days ago. Claims if building on that. In the money for the first time when third at Down Royal, more needed to feature here.
7
6th (7) (4/1 -14%) Knockbrack Rambler
4
4/1(-14%)
(7) Knockbrack Rambler 4/1, Left previous form behind when winning 13-runner handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, heavy) 29 days ago. 6 lb rise fair and is one for the shortlist. Improved form when scoring at Cork a month ago, could be in the mix again off 6lb higher.
2
7th (2) (7/2 +30%) Bonnie Kellie
3.5
7/2(+30%)
(2) Bonnie Kellie 7/2, Latest win in chase at Clonmel in October. Running below form when fell in handicap chase (16/1) at Gowran (16f, heavy) 41 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Tongue strap back on. Others preferred. Took a heavy fall in a chase last time, well handicapped relative to his mark over fences.
9
8th (9) (18/1 +10%) Dream Once More
18
18/1(+10%)
(9) Dream Once More 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, seventeenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Naas (15.5f, heavy, 50/1) 40 days ago. Up in trip. Work to do. Big price when finishing last at Navan in her first handicap, seems safe to rule out.
6
|PU| (6) (20/1 -100%) Farrokh
20
20/1(-100%)
(6) Farrokh 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, seventh of 15 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) 41 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Market check advised. Does not appeal as being well handicapped on the basis of four maiden hurdle attempts.
10
|PU| (10) (66/1 -32%) Deramore Park
66
66/1(-32%)
(10) Deramore Park 66/1, 250/1 and hooded for 1st time, last of 10 in novice hurdle at Galway (16f, heavy) 173 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Improvement required. Ran only twice last year after a long layoff, very hard to make a case for her.
(1) Favori De Champdou 8/13, Useful chaser. Latest win in chase at Punchestown in November. Fell in Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse (29.1f, heavy) 18 days ago. This is much easier and he should take the beating. Grade 2 winner hasn't progressed but still major claims dropped in class.
2
2nd (2) (9/1 +50%) Donacheady Gale
9
9/1(+50%)
(2) Donacheady Gale 9/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Fairly useful winner at 18f over hurdles. Very good second of 7 in novice chase (15/2) at Down Royal (19.6f, soft) 33 days ago. Up in trip. Out of his depth in this, though. Back with two solid runs over fences last month but this represents a step up.
6
3rd (6) (15/2 +66%) Bella Bliss
7.5
15/2(+66%)
(6) Bella Bliss 15/2, Fairly useful chaser. 3 wins from 11 runs this season. Latest win in chase at Kelso in September. Fifth of 7 in novice chase at Down Royal (19.6f, soft, 15/2) 33 days ago. Back up in trip. Engaged 6.45 Clonmel Thursday. Winner here last summer but ground conditions remain against her.
5
4th (5) (50/1 +38%) Tullyhogue Fort
50
50/1(+38%)
(5) Tullyhogue Fort 50/1, Modest hurdler. Tailed-off last of 6 to Grangeclare West in Neville Hotels (Fort Leney) Novices' Chase at Leopardstown (24.4f, soft, 300/1) 112 days ago. Very hard to make a case for. Ordinary handicapper has loads to find on ratings here and ground against him too.
4
|F| (4) (11/4 -22%) Joyeux Machin
2.75
11/4(-22%)
(4) Joyeux Machin 11/4, Useful chaser. 50/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (24.3f, soft) 76 days ago, tailing off before 2 out. Likely to bounce back returned to chasing in calmer waters. Big player on best form but needs to bounce back.
18:50 Limerick Maiden Chase 24f Race Speed Rating Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
This looks like a nice opportunity for FAVORI DE CHAMPDOU. He was a faller in the Irish National on his last start when looking well beaten and this small field event could be a nice confidence booster. The Saddler Maker gelding was a Grade 2 winner at Punchestown back in November and has kept good company since. At the weights, Joyeux Machin is the obvious danger. He's another Saddler Maker gelding and was pulled up over hurdles when last seen at the Dublin Racing Festival. He had been no match for Lucid Dreams in a rated novice chase before that but had been in good form around Wexford prior to that and is a capable sort at his best. Donacheady Gale could prove best of the remainder.
FAVORI DE CHAMPDOU has the most class in this field and, if none the worse for his fall in the Irish Grand National, he should be able to get the better of Joyeux Machin in a race that the pair are likely to dominate.
Seemingly a match, with recent National faller FAVORI DE CHAMPDOU narrowly preferred to Joyeux Machin
(7) Another Ocana 11/2, Winner in hurdle here in December. Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at this course (16f, heavy) 8 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Others more persuasive. Course winner over hurdles, has to rebound from below-par run over hurdles here last week.
5
2nd (5) (9/2 +31%) Know The Game
4.5
9/2(+31%)
(5) Know The Game 9/2, Tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving J. T. R. Dreaper when respectable sixth of 18 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) 18 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Not out of things. Should be better for a hurdles run, more effective as a chaser, holds a solid chance.
2
3rd (2) (10/3 -48%) Sunnyvilla
3.333333
10/3(-48%)
(2) Sunnyvilla 10/3, Posted career best when winning 6-runner handicap chase at Cork (16.7f, heavy) 18 days ago. 4 lb rise fair and ought to go well again. Possibly a little fortunate to get away with a 4lb rise for Thurles win, definite chance.
6
4th (6) (6/1 -71%) Mcgrath From Clune
6
6/1(-71%)
(6) Mcgrath From Clune 6/1, Off the mark at Thurles (18.4f) in November and ran just as well in defeat when second of 10 in handicap chase at same course (16.3f, soft) 66 days ago. Holds solid claims. Better chaser than hurdler, winner and second at Thurles on his last two runs over fences.
3
5th (3) (10/1 -25%) Marelly
10
10/1(-25%)
(3) Marelly 10/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Pulled up in handicap chase at Cork (16.7f, heavy, 5/1) 18 days ago won by Sunnyvilla, mistake seventh. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others preferred. Pulled up on handicap debut in Thurles event won by Sunnyvilla, cheekpieces tried now.
4
6th (4) (11/1 -22%) Pont Audemer
11
11/1(-22%)
(4) Pont Audemer 11/1, Fair winner at 16f over hurdles. Tongue strap on for 1st time, unseated rider in novice chase at Cork (16.7f, heavy, 66/1) 19 days ago. Work to do on handicap chase debut. Course winner over hurdles, let down by his jumping on most recent of three chase starts.
1
|PU| (1) (3/1 +10%) Dundaniel
3
3/1(+10%)
(1) Dundaniel 3/1, 5/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, brought down in handicap chase at Limerick (17.5f, heavy) 40 days ago, sure to be involved. Has good chance on form. Consistent in handicap chases though no real progress since Thurles second last November.
8
|PU| (8) (40/1 +20%) Gendarme
40
40/1(+20%)
(8) Gendarme 40/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 50/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (19.1f, heavy) 134 days ago. Likely best watched on chase debut. Two hurdle wins in 2021 for Cathal Byrnes, little of note since, no chasing experience.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SUNNYVILLA had run with credit in a couple of strong contests before scoring at Cork at the start of the month and may be able to follow up now. The Mustameet gelding was given a good ride from the front by Gavin Brouder last time and is just 4lb higher now. Mcgrath From Clune was runner-up on his return to chasing at Thurles last time and is just a pound higher now so has to be on the shortlist. Dundaniel was getting closer when brought down two from home over course and distance last month and title chasing Jack Kennedy is an eye-catching booking now for his brother Michael.
SUNNYVILLA got off the mark for the season at Cork earlier this month and hasn't been harshly treated by the handicapper for that success. He may be able to follow up. Dundaniel and Mcgrath From Clune should also go well.
It may be worth taking a chance on KNOW THE GAME who should be sharper for a recent run over hurdles and is a more effective chaser
(1) Ballygunner Castle 5/4, Promise when third of 11 in bumper at Thurles (15.6f, soft, 11/4) on debut 2 months ago. Upped in trip and every chance he can go a couple of places better. Promising Thurles debut run makes him the one to beat now upped in trip.

11/10(+45%)
(5) Olympy De Cerisy 11/10, Left debut form well behind when second of 5 in bumper at Navan (15.7f, heavy, 13/2) 68 days ago, clear of rest. Up in trip. Hood/tongue strap on 1st time. Solid claims. Clear Navan second makes him a major player; headgear tried.

16/1(+52%)
(7) Silent Venture 16/1, €33,000 3-y-o, Arctic Cosmos gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/smart chaser Panda Boy, stays 29f. Pulled up sole start in points (Oct 2023). Pulled up on sole point-to-point start earlier this season.

9/1(+55%)
(4) Mr Dibbs 9/1, Offered nothing after 7 months off when tailed-off seventh of 9 in bumper at Gowran (18f, heavy, 25/1) just under 6 weeks ago. Tailed off on Gowran comeback last month on heavy; likely wants better ground.

5th (6) (18/1 -13%) Private Policy

18/1(-13%)
(6) Private Policy 18/1, Failed to complete on his sole outing in points. 125/1, promise when fifth of 9 in bumper at Navan (15.7f, heavy) on NH debut 27 days ago. Up in trip. Recent Navan bumper debut a promising one but more required to play a a major role here.

|PU| (2) (66/1 -100%) Honky Tonk

66/1(-100%)
(2) Honky Tonk 66/1, 66/1, showed nothing on first run since leaving W. P. Mullins/missing 17 months after his debut when seventh of 10 in bumper at Cork (19f, heavy) 19 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Never sighted after long absence at Cork; tongue tied now.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
BALLYGUNNER CASTLE was an eye-catching third on his debut run at Thurles in mid-February and should prove hard to beat now. The Soldier Of Fortune gelding stayed on nicely behind stablemate Coco Masterpiece that day and looked like he would only improve from the experience. The form looks strong with the runner-up, Fishery Lane, going on to finish fifth at Cheltenham. Olympy De Cerisy chased home a Willie Mullins-trained horse, in Cantico, at Navan last time and it could be a similar story for Declan Queally's charge, who is fitted with a tongue-tie and hood for the first time. Pat Foley's newcomer Jericho Du Fenoir is one to note in the market. The five-year-old cost €65,000 as a store a couple of years ago and is a half-brother to Champion Hurdler Espoir D'allen.
BALLYGUNNER CASTLE found only a couple of stablemates too strong at Thurles in February and he's a strong fancy to open his account upped in trip at the expense of Olympy de Cerisy, who couldn't live with another Willie Mullins' runner last time but rates as the obvious threat. Private Policy looks best of the remainder.
Not knocked about when a promising third on debut, BALLYGUNNER CASTLE could now take the beating over this longer trip
