13:40 Limerick Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

IL PELLEGRINO hasn't run since last October but showed useful form as a juvenile and reappears in a winnable maiden. Out of a winning half-sister to French 2,000 Guineas winner Aussie Rules, he finished second on Curragh debut to a subsequent Listed and American Grade 3 winner and while he was a beaten odds-on favourite at Naas in October, the winner is capable while the runner-up finished fifth in the recent Irish 2,000 Guineas. Settlement has a big race-fitness advantage but is frustrating, having failed to build on her juvenile promise and is tried in first-time cheekpieces. An Mhi Abu disappointed on his second start at Fairyhouse recenty but had previously run well on Leopardstown debut.

IL PELLEGRINO may have been turned over at short odds when last seen in the autumn but the pair ahead of him on that occasion have turned out to be useful and he can get off the mark on his return. Dermot Weld's Settlement is second choice ahead of Judge Me Not.

Several with similar chances but perhaps it's worth giving another chance to SETTLEMENT, dropped in trip with cheekpieces fitted

14:15 Limerick Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

EMERALD ECLIPSE reverts to handicaps having run well in a recent maiden and is suited by fast ground and this distance. His initial Dundalk runs were quite encouraging and while he was well held on handicap debut at Gowran, the third-placed horse won subsequently while the winner, runner-up and fourth-placed horses were each subsequently placed. Solomon Coop has a similar profile, in that he was well held on his own handicap debut recently but has useful form in maidens and has form at this distance. Hemight debuts in handicaps and while well enough held at Tipperary last month, should be better suited by this faster ground and runs in first-time cheekpieces.

SOLOMON COOP was better than the result on his recent 1m Leopardstown handicap debut and can come good now dropping back to 7f. Joseph O'Brien's Emerald Eclipse is second choice ahead of Byzantine Empress.

Sure to appreciate the return to this trip EMERALD ECLIPSE (nap) could prove the one to beat on ground to suit

14:50 Limerick Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

SEPTEMBER LEAVES seemed to briefly idle late-on when winning a course-and-distance maiden just 10 days ago and had previously shown good handicap form. Out of a winning half-sister to Hong Kong Group 1 winner Designs On Rome, she has improved this year and having met trouble in-running when finishing fourth in a valuable Curragh handicap in May, competes from just 2lb higher today. Frankel-sired Quadruple is out of a Group 2 winner and while her form is a little limited, is consistent and drops to handicap company. Help Me Rhonda ran well on handicap debut at Gowran six days ago and while well held by the first two finishers, shaped as though today's mile might suit.

HELP ME RHONDA shaped well in a big field on her recent Cork handicap debut and can build on that promise now. Fellow 3-y-o fillies Quadruple and September Leaves can give her most to think about.

A C&D maiden winner last time, SEPTEMBER LEAVES gets the benefit of a talented claimer's 7lb allowance today and can follow up.

15:25 Limerick Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

AMEMRI won today's earlier-race on this fixture last year and is better than her latest run. A three-time winner who is well suited by this distance, she met minor traffic when disappointing at the Curragh but had previously run well at Cork in May, is generally reliable and should again compete from her rating. Thirtysecondstreet has been placed twice from 15 runs, including at Gowran recently and if she can replicate that form, has obvious claims with ground and race conditions in her favour. On Our Radar was placed on his only other run at a mile and while he was well held here recently, competes from a career low rating under his regular 7lb claimer.

9-y-o SIRJACK THOMAS needs to better his recent efforts, but he's slipped to a very attractive mark and this represents a drop in grade, so he's put forward as the tentative selection. On Our Radar and Ano Manna are a couple of others to consider.

Quite an open look to this but SPRING COLLECTION appeals now dropped slightly in trip with cheekpieces tried

16:05 Limerick Listed 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

HARBOUR WIND was a smart stayer last year and this race is likely to have been mapped as a starting point ahead of another autumn campaign. Out of a smart half-sister to Ascot Gold Cup-placed Forgotten Rules, his high-class Longchamp runner-up effort in September has received many boosts with, most notably, the winner scoring a wide-margin success in the subsequent Group 1 Prix Royal-Oak. Race-fit Sunchart is capable and won a Listed race in March but might struggle to beat the selection racing from level-weights. Three-year-old London City is clearly progressive and has just 4lb to find with the selection on adjusted ratings, but nonetheless faces a much stiffer task than when winning a recent Chester handicap.

LONDON CITY's form is on an upward curve so Aidan O'Brien's Justify colt can take this step up in class in his stride and complete his hat-trick. The returning Harbour Wind has the form to play a big part and is next best ahead of in-form pair Serious Challenge and Esquiline.

An improving type, LONDON CITY can get the better of his older rivals, several of whom are penalised for previous wins at this level.

16:40 Limerick Maiden 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

MONT ST MICHEL has a similar profile to Sara Valentina which won another such designed-to-be-weak course maiden recently and today's selection is also allowed compete, despite being very much unexposed. By Galileo and out of an American Grade 1 winning mare, the selection is clearly no star and showed only mild promise when beaten 18 lengths by high-class Illinois on debut but finished his race reasonably well, should progress and this race is weak. If the selection fails to perform in first-time tongue-tie and blinkers, Gangster Granny might pick up the pieces being race-fit and having run well here when rated 59 ten days ago. Viyanni showed mild promise at Fairyhouse while Fighter finished behind his stablemate selection last year.

GANGSTER GRANNY holds the clear edge on form so is taken to gain her first victory at the chief expense of fair hurdles scorer Bukhill who could build on his recent Fairyhouse eighth. Viyanni and Winning Smut appeal as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.

MONT ST MICHEL can show improvement from his sole run last year and get off the mark, with a tongue-tie and blionkers to help.

17:20 Limerick Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

MASTER DUNRAVEN raced from well off the pace and met some interference at Fairyhouse last month and should be suited by reverting to this distance. His only win was indeed gained over that same 1m2f distance, but having been outpaced at Fairyhouse, was also hampered three furlongs out before staying on reasonably well to finish a never-nearer sixth. Three-year-old Rapid Mission races against older horses for the first time but showed some promise on his seasonal reappearance recently. By Frankel, his juvenile form was useful and could be suited by stepping up to this distance. Black Soul is ideally suited by conditions and but is nonetheless long absent.

This looks wide open so it could be worth siding with Joseph O'Brien's son of Frankel RAPID MISSION who is fancied to take a step forward from his reappearance Navan fifth with this step up in trip also a likely plus. Fairyhouse-fourth Out On Friday is next on the list with Inchiquin Star and Master Dunraven also in the picture.

OUT ON FRIDAY gets the vote on the back of a fine run over further at Fairyhouse last week and seems sure to make a bold bid

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
