13:55 Limerick Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BESTALINE hasn't raced for almost a year but has jumping experience and returns at a good time of year – hinting she'll be ready. A debut French flat winner at Nort-Sur-Erdre in May 2022, she was reported to be 'blowing hard' post-race on jumps debut but finishing third to Zarak The Brave last November in a race which has worked out very well. She's A Fine Wine won impressively in March and debuts for new connections. From a talented family whose runners invariably race keenly, she pulled too hard in an April Grade 2 bumper but is better judged on her Southwell success. She is likely to race prominently but cedes hurdling experience to the selection. Mag Dillane has bits of form and can follow on at a respectful distance in third. Not Before Time showed ability on Tipperary debut.

A serious case of quantity over quality in this opener and provided she's ready to roll, BESTALINE is fancied to put her jumping experience to good use and make it third time lucky in this sphere. The obvious danger is She's A Fine Wine, who won a bumper at Southwell back in March and makes her hurdling debut for Henry de Bromhead. Mag Dillane and Not Before Time can fight out third spot.

French Flat winner bBESTALINE\p stands out on her third to the subsequent Galway Hurdle winner Zarak The Brave at Fairyhouse last November

14:30 Limerick Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

WALK AWAY HARRY returns from a summer's break, having won at the Punchestown festival. He debuts over jumps but has heavy-ground form and his rider claims 5lb. His owners the Area Fiftyone Syndicate, share the same name as a highly-classified US Air Force training range but their horse notably reappears for a local trainer at a big meet. Native Speaker was left clear to easily win his point-to-point and ran well in a good Cork bumper in March. His jumping experience will help but is vulnerable to smart types. What's Up Darling has point-to-pointing experience and while his bumper form is strong, it was over longer distances which suggests he might prefer further than two miles. Diamboy Des Carres relishes testing ground and is built for fences but hasn't run since November. Ballycallan King has minor place claims.

Some appealing types on show in this maiden hurdle, headed by WALK AWAY HARRY and What's Up Darling, both of whom landed bumpers when last seen in the spring. The form of the Punchestown race won by Walk Away Harry looks pretty decent and he is marginally preferred. Ballycallan King is the clear pick of those with hurdles experience and is much respected, while point winner Native Speaker and interesting Flat recruit Frontispiece are also of interest.

Slight preference is for point/bumper winner WHAT'S UP DARLING over Punchestown bumper scorer Walk Away Harry

15:05 Limerick Handicap Hurdle 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

HALSAFARI debuts for a new trainer and runs in a first-time tongue-tie but has claims if recapturing old form, on his favoured heavy ground. His previous win was in 2019 but he competed well at higher levels last winter, returns from a break and contests a winnable race. Millstream Lady won well in a similar Listowel handicap last month but competes from 9lb higher. In-form Chainofconsequence is a previous course winner who competes well at this level while Hazran should improve from a recent flat reappearance. Stablemates Flemansflick and New Barn Lane, along with He's Home Again, debut in handicaps.

Having dropped in the weights, CHAINOFCONSEQUENCE ran at least as well as ever when second at Galway 19 days ago and he can build on that to return to winning ways. Millstream Lady showed improved form when opening her account at Listowel last time and could be the main danger, ahead of Cheerful Chap.

Second on his return to hurdling at Galway, CHAINOFCONSEQUENCE should be suited by this longer trip and can go one better

15:40 Limerick Handicap Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

POSITIVE THINKER has failed in 10 previous hurdle runs but has won both his chases and today reverts to hurdling from a favourable rating. A soft-ground stayer, he is rated 11lb higher over fences following his recent Gowran win, he looks progressive and nicely handicapped. Five-time winner Robyndeglory also stays well and while she has too recent form, isn't ahead of the handicapper. Another Nightmare won over this distance at Listowel and while 5lb higher, might be able to continue her progression. Criminal Mischief won an ordinary Clonmel maiden in March and while well held last-time, could improve a little at this distance. Killinure Lass is dependable at this level and has place claims.

Successful over fences on his latest outing, POSITIVE THINKER can continue his good run of form and take advantage of his lower mark back over hurdles. He is taken to get the better of Robyndeglory, who produced her best effort of the season reverted to hurdling last time, with Mont Saint Vincent completing the shortlist.

Gowran chase winner Positive Thinker will do for many but KILLINURE LASS, equally suited by conditions, is just preferred

16:15 Limerick Handicap Chase 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Gordon Elliott runs eight, with Jack Kennedy riding 2022 Irish National runner-up FRONTAL ASSAULT. He should improve from a recent reappearance and wasn't beaten far in January's Thyestes. Stablemates Gevrey and Defi Bleu were second and third in April's Irish National and, while Gevrey pulled up having made a mistake at Listowel latest, he is capable of better. Mars Harper won at Listowel but competes from a career-high mark. Run Wild Fred, winner of the 2021 Troytown, finished second in the 2021 Irish National but has an absence to overcome. Coco Beach, winner of the 2021 Thyestes, is suited by testing conditions, while Paddy Power winner Real Steel would prefer a sounder surface.

Gordon Elliott is mob-handed, fielding eight runners, but it's the Joseph O'Brien-trained A WAVE OF THE SEA who earns the vote. He didn't jump at all well at Listowel last time, but is a big player judged on solid efforts in a Tipperary Grade 3 and the Galway Plate during the summer, plus he's now 6 lb below the mark off which he finished fourth in this race 12 months ago. The Goffer, Frontal Assault and Gevrey, all members of the Elliott battalion, are feared most in that order of preference.

Gordon Elliott supplies eight of the 13. It could pay to take the hint from Jack Kennedy who sticks with FRONTAL ASSAULT

16:50 Limerick Handicap Chase 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

JODY TED progressed well having returned from 584 days off last season and likes this distance and testing ground. His form last winter was strong and while he returns following a summer's break, contests a lesser handicap than when finishing second to Kilcruit at Punchestown last April. Race-fit, in-form Pats Choice is ground-versatile but is 5lb higher than when winning at Galway. Course winner All Those Years is ground-versatile and was staying on when falling at Killarney in August while similarly-owned Mica Malpic would prefer a sounder surface. Hope Des Blins is in-form but faces a tougher task than when winning at Sligo.

Having finally opened her chase account at Sligo last month, HOPE DES BLINS is taken to follow up back in a handicap off what looks a reasonable enough mark. This is a tougher assignment, but she clearly relishes plenty of cut in the ground and could prove hard to peg back with that confidence-boosting Sligo success under her belt. Mica Malpic will be a threat if able to bounce back from a below-par effort last time and Jody Ted should also be in the mix if ready to roll following a break.

A race designed for horses rated up to 145 but they haven't shown up which gives JODY TED a nice opportunity to land a good prize

17:25 Limerick Maiden Chase 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Former Triumph Hurdle winner QUILIXIOS might defy a 610-days layoff and score on fences debut. A top notch performer in 2020/'21, he is proven on testing ground and while absent since his Red Mills Hurdle run in February 2022, effectively missed just one full jumps season and being a six-year-old, might retain his ability. Cool Survivor is himself a Listed winning hurdler who finished fourth at Grade 1 level last February. He was reported to have 'stopped quickly' at Cheltenham in March and while vulnerable to an on-song selection, could become a capable chaser. La Malmason has hurdles form and is race-fit but has plenty on her plate while race-fit Captains Nephew is also useful but needs to improve to win.

Though his wellbeing has to be taken on trust following a 16-month absence, QUILIXIOS was much the best of these over hurdles and will take plenty of stopping if he makes a good shape over fences at the first attempt. Cool Survivor, also a talented hurdler, is clear next best ahead of La Malmason.

If fit and ready after a long absence the former Triumph Hurdle winner QUILIXIOS can see off a likely challenge from Cool Survivor

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.
