14:05 Limerick Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A PENNY A HUNDRED made a winning start in a Sligo bumper in August and the runner-up franked the form at Sedgefield earlier in the month. Her half-brother won on hurdling debut and she can emulate him although her ability to handle heavy ground has to be taken on trust. Liberated Light won a maiden over 1m6f at Killarney and has run respectably in a couple of handicaps. A half-brother to crack bumper horse A Dream To Share, he is one to note on hurdling debut. Cut The Rope has been off since January when he made all to win the first four-year-old bumper of the year. He handled testing ground then and is another hurdling debutant to consider.

A PENNY A HUNDRED is in the best possible hands and having quickened clear of a subsequent winner in a Sligo bumper on her debut in August, she makes most appeal. Cut The Rope also won his sole outing in bumpers and has to be feared now making the switch to hurdling, while Chicago Storm ought to improve on his opening effort at Roscommon and may have a say in proceedings, too.

Little depth to this maiden and Sligo bumper winner A PENNY A HUNDRED can score if handling the ground. Liberated Light is noted

14:40 Limerick Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

HARD RAIN won a similar contest by nine lengths on yielding to soft ground here in July and the form got a timely boost when the runner-up scored at Thurles on Thursday. The selection ran poorly over hurdles on his next start but comes here on the back of two placed efforts over fences and should give a good account of himself. Young Fitzy has won twice on testing ground and comes into this in reasonable form. His sixth at Galway after a summer break was encouraging and, although well beaten back there since, he's capable of contending on the pick of his form. Miss Pronunciation had a good run in a Punchestown maiden last year but has been lightly raced since. She didn't land a blow on handicap debut when last seen on Thyestes day at Gowran but is very unexposed and the market will be a useful guide to her chance.

GO GILL GO shaped as if needing the run at Roscommon last month so she could be worth chancing off a career-low mark. Hard Rain is feared most ahead of Everystep Oftheway.

Few appeal so perhaps the long absent COSMIC ROCK, a previous C&D winner in similar conditions, can make another winning return

15:15 Limerick Conditions Hurdle 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

RIVIERE D'ETEL was a high-class novice over fences the season before last and has a good record first time out. A Grade 2 winner over the larger obstacles and twice runner-up in Grade 1 company, she hasn't run over hurdles for well over two years and this trip might stretch her stamina but if anywhere near her best she could outclass these rivals. Space Tourist was long odds-on when caught on the line by Popova at Listowel. The former is 3lb better off and can reverse the form but deep ground is a concern for both mares and Space Tourist's tendency to jump left is also a worry on her return to a right-handed track. The handicapper took the view that Lady Of The Vale was flattered by her third in a Listed contest at Gowran but it was a creditable effort and she has place claims if seeing out this trip.

Although POPOVA meets Space Tourist on worse terms than when narrowly denying her at Listowel the step up in trip promises to see Henry de Bromhead's mare in an even better light and she can confirm placings with her old rival. Riviere D'etel was struggling over fences when last seen in the spring but could also have a say if a return to hurdles sparks her back to life.

She's back from six months off and hasn't run over hurdles for ages but RIVIERE D'ETEL is a different calibre of mare to these

Charles Byrnes holds SUMMER MELODY in high regard and it's interesting that he sends his charge into a Listed race on his third hurdles outing rather than starting off the season in maiden company. A bumper winner at Navan last term where he beat a useful type, he was last seen when not beaten far in fourth behind more experienced rivals at this venue last Christmas and gets a handy 4lb from the trio of dual hurdle winners. High Class Hero, unbeaten in three starts under rules, seemed more suited by left-handed Listowel last time than right-handed Galway where he won his maiden hurdle despite jumping left. He still merits obvious respect. The Big Doyen had three Mullins-trained rivals in arrears when winning over 2m4f at the Galway festival. He has plenty of jumping experience to draw upon and, although this ground may not be ideal, is another that has to enter calculations.

A quality renewal of this listed contest. HIGH CLASS HERO and The Wallpark are similarly progressive types and may well dominate the finish, for all that this is far from a two-horse race with unbeaten 4-y-o filly Mayor's Walk and hat-trick seeking The Big Doyen also in the line-up. There's plenty of substance to High Class Hero's form and he is taken to make it 4-4 under Rules.

Interesting that Charles Byrnes sends the maiden SUMMER MELODY into Listed company on seasonal debut and the hint might be worth taking

16:21 Limerick Maiden Hurdle 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Gavin Cromwell has a good record in these restricted maidens and looks to have found a nice opportunity for hurdling debutant ASK ANYTHING. Keith Donoghue's mount won a point-to- point last November and ran well in bumpers, notably when fifth to Cheltenham runner-up Fact To File at Leopardstown last Christmas. Despite failing to beat a rival, he was far from disgraced in a decent winners' contest at the Punchestown festival when last seen. Jullou Du Grissay had shown little prior to finishing fourth in a maiden run on testing ground at Gowran last month. The winner of that contest is trained by Cromwell so he should be in a good position to know what's required to take this. Larkfield Lusive was a fair fifth off a mark of 90 in a Gowran handicap over 2m4f last time and has place claims in a maiden lacking depth.

JULLOU DE GRISSAY caught the eye finishing with running left at Gowran 3 weeks ago and should be up to winning a race of this nature with further improvement on the cards. Ask Anything and Milfordfourthree head the dangers.

A weak maiden in which Gowran maiden fourth JULLOU DE GRISSAY is preferred to hurdles debutant Ask Anything

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

HE FITZ IN won over a similar trip at Navan on his most recent start over hurdles and can defy a 4lb higher mark. He looked unlucky over fences at Sligo when a last-fence faller and again performed with credit when second at Punchestown. He's had a fairly busy time of things but finished well on his most recent outing and the fitting of a visor seems to have sharpened him. Church Lane ran her best race so far when third at Galway where a first-time tongue-tie seemed to have a positive effect and any improvement on that form will see her go close. Ishan won a 3m handicap on soft ground last winter and had a good run on heavy when second over fences at Wexford. He's had a couple of spins over an inadequate 2m since returning from a summer break and is one to note stepping back up to a more suitable distance.

HE FITZ IN is going through a good spell at present and remains of interest back over hurdles. Church Lane and Well Loved head the dangers.

Preference is for CHURCH LANE on the back of a much improved run at Galway in a tongue tie

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

MA BELLE ETOILE shaped with plenty of potential when runner-up on soft ground at Tipperary three weeks ago and can go one better. Green when asked for her effort on that occasion, she went down by three lengths to a mare that had useful form in the book and her stable sent out a promising bumper winner under this rider last weekend. Only By Night was third in a good ground bumper at Warwick in February on her sole start for Jonjo O'Neill. That form hasn't really worked out but the point-to-point winner still merits respect having switched to Gavin Cromwell's yard. Penelope's Charm has only been beaten three lengths on both starts and the form of those races looks solid. She has been off over five months, though, and will have to prove her ability to handle testing conditions.

MA BELLE ETOILE showed plenty having been left with plenty to do when second at Tipperary on debut and, with more to come, she's likely to open her account at the second attempt. Only By Night also shaped well on debut (for a different yard) and Penelope's Charm isn't one to take lightly.

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.
