17:00 Limerick Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SHAJAK is a standout on form and might get through the likely soft ground. Listed-placed and rated 95 on the flat last year, he ran a nice race on jumps debut and while slightly disappointing when narrowly beaten at Sligo, conceded 7lb to the winner, who subsequently won on the flat, with the pair pulling well clear. Verbal Sparring is an eight-race maiden but was rated 75 on the flat. He was staying on when unseating his rider at Fairyhouse in February but hasn't run since although has proven ability to handle testing ground. Lady Masquerade is out of a half-sister to three capable jumpers, Can't Think is out of an unraced half-sister to a French Listed hurdle winner while R S Ambush is out of a half-sister to Irish National winner General Principle. Dolly Watkins is a half-sister to five-time winner Minx Tiara while No Mean Feat was pulled up when tailed off on point-to-point debut last April but is surely capable of better.

Useful Flat-winner SHAJAK left his hurdles debut well behind when just denied at Sligo and has been found an excellent opportunity. Verbal Sparring might have been placed had he completed at Fairyhouse when last seen in February and can make the frame this time.

It is difficult to oppose SHAJAK, who should be able to go one better than when outbattled at Sligo last time.

17:35 Limerick Handicap Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SHEER BRAVADO landed a gamble on debut for his trainer at Cork and should comfortably defy an 8lb hike. Once rated 91 on the flat, he won easily on his reappearance run and a reproduction would see him hard to beat, and he has previous form on soft ground. Crowsatedappletart has won just once from 15 starts but that win came over a similar distance on today's course in March and didn't seem quite as effective over fences on his most recent runs. Jack Holiday is dependable and able at this distance but prefers a sound surface while Hard Rain is a 17-race maiden who ran well enough over fences recently and has been placed in similar hurdles in the past. Charlies Pride and Future Proof are held by the selection on Cork form. Florey Spud, a 17-race maiden but with useful recent form, and race-fit Leroy Leroy are declared to run at Ballinrobe on Tuesday.

These slower conditions will suit course winner CROWSATEDAPPLETART and he gets the nod in an open-looking contest. Sheer Bravado and Jack Holiday can also make their presence felt.

Having landed a gamble at Cork off the back of a huge lay-off, SHEER BRAVADO could be up to defying an 8lb rise.

18:05 Limerick Maiden Hurdle 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

GORGEOUS SUSPECT has clearly had setbacks but should improve from a recent chase run and could be suited by this distance. His May 2021 debut, behind Banbridge, was very encouraging and while lightly-raced since, showed a glimpse of his old ability at Wexford, should improve fitness-wise and seems ground-versatile. Misty's Gift has failed in 11 previous maidens but is a stayer with form. Out of a sister to Rock On Ruby, he won two bumpers in 2021 and while he has subsequently failed to concede a winners' penalty in maiden hurdles, is dependable and was giving vain chase to Kinvara, which subsequently won at Cartmel by 18 lengths, at Wexford recently. He holds consistent Down Around on that form but might struggle against an on-song selection. Keeffelee was beaten by an easy winner at Tipperary while Sixhandsinmypocket has bits of useful form. Forest Breeze, in a hood, and Inchidaly Robin, wearing cheekpieces, step up from point-to-points while Gino Drummer Boy is declared to run on Tuesday.

MISTY'S GIFT has been in good form lately and would have been second in a novice at Wexford but for departing late. In a thin race, he's found a good opportunity to open his account for all that Gorgeous Suspect is quite closely matched on form. Point winner Forest Breeze is worth monitoring in the betting.

With the experience of 11 hurdle starts under his girth, MISTY'S GIFT can finally make the breakthrough.

18:35 Limerick Handicap Hurdle 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

HOW DECC is largely unproven on today's likely soft ground but is well handicapped on his best form. He caught the eye when finishing well in a hot summer maiden at Killarney last August, finishing between capable hurdlers, and while inconsistent, returned to form against higher-rated hurdlers in a recent Tipperary chase. He competes from a low mark of 88 today, upped slightly in distance and under a 5lb claimer. In-form Tuff Days is dependable, likes this distance but all his form is on a sound surface while Walking The Walk is a useful staying chaser who has some hurdlers form but nonetheless is an 11-race maiden in this sphere. Ranger Billy is similarly able in this grade but finished behind Tuff Days at Kilbeggan recently.

WALKING THE WALK has been in excellent form lately and, although not as good in this sphere as over fences, he should be capable of defying this much lower mark. Ranger Billy looks a danger and Tuff Days seems likely to give another good account.

Preference is for WALKING THE WALK (nap), whose consistency counts for a lot at this level.

19:05 Limerick Handicap Hurdle 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

C'EST QUELQU'UN ran well behind a subsequent easy winner on debut for Gordon Elliott recently and is suited by soft ground. Ex-French, he was beaten 25 lengths by subsequent Kerry National winner Busselton on career debut in 2020 - with one State Man finishing second, and while his form is in-and-out, his debut for Elliott was encouraging with the Downpatrick winner now being rated 120. Winnie Woodnutt is in-form and herself finished third to a subsequent winner at Downpatrick recently. A three-time point-to-point winner, she is holding her consistent form in chases and hurdles but would prefer a sound surface. Inchidaly Copper is another three-time points winner who is suited by this distance but would prefer good ground and is absent for 411 days. Tango Theatre is a 16-race maiden but has been running well while 11-race maiden Galmar is also in-form.

Gordon Elliott's C'EST QUELQU'UN looks the way to go here on the back of his excellent Downpatrick second on his yard debut with the promise of more to come now. In-form Tango Theatre is still to get her head in front but is second on the list with Galmar and Winnie Woodnutt two more to consider in an open handicap.

Gordon Elliott has live chances in both divisions as C'EST QUELQU'UN has to be of strong interest after his good first run for the yard

19:35 Limerick Handicap Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

DANCING JEREMY likes today's likely soft ground and reverts to handicaps company having run ok in a recent smart race at Cork. His best form is over slightly shorter distances but ran well over this distance against higher-rated horses at Cork and had also run well in May. In-form Meehall is ground-versatile, stays well and should get involved reverting to hurdles. The Abbey is well handicapped on his good recent chase form and is rated 17lb lower in this sphere but soft ground would be concerning. Similarly Hand Over Fist's good recent efforts have been on good ground although her French-bred dam's side has soft-ground form. Sean Og's form is also on good ground while Smallcraftwarning, by Gale Force Ten, could also be scuppered by rain. Movie King is declared to run on Tuesday.

THE ABBEY is into the veteran stage of his career but a very good case can be made for him from this hurdles mark given his chase form during the spring so he looks the way to go. Hand Over Fist took a big step forward when successful at Bellewstown and is an obvious threat, along with Sean Og.

This looks very open. A chance is taken on MEEHALL, who has been running well over fences and he'll love the ground.

20:05 Limerick NH Flat Race 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

HUNTSGROVE has a nice pedigree and showed promise on debut in a Curragh winners' bumper. The runner-up and sixth-placed horses have both won subsequently and while he runs over a longer distance and is likely to encounter more testing conditions, today's race is a lesser contest. Polly's Fortune ran well here last October and while she hung left when a disappointing favourite on testing ground at Fairyhouse in December, her form is nothing special and might possibly prefer a sound surface. Fathom Two has winning point-to-point form on soft and runner-up in an ordinary Downpatrick bumper, is race-fit and reliable. Wolfhill is a notable newcomer being out of a Grade 2-winning mare who has already produced three winners. The Shantou King showed improved form at Killarney while Isolde's Voice has a fine flat pedigree but debuts aged seven.

POLLY'S FORTUNE offered definite signs of promise on the first of 2 starts in bumpers during the second half of last year and, back from an absence, she's fancied to come out on top for her leading yard. Fathom Two rates the chief threat on the back of his good second at Downpatrick. Huntsgrove and The Shantou King can do battle for a minor role.

This doesn't look a strong bumper at all and POLLY'S FORTUNE is the most likely winner in the hope there's more to come from her.
