12:19 Limerick Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SAINTE TARTARE can go one better on her second outing for Willie Mullins. The Saint des Saints mare ran freely on her Irish debut at Tramore last month and was collared in the closing stages by The Great Nudie. The winner has run respectably in a Listed event since. With the run under her belt, Sainte Tartare may settle a bit better now. Barnahash Primrose had some strong bumper form and could the danger on her hurdling debut. The Malinas mare was third in Grade 2 company at Leopardstown's Dublin Racing Festival. Uhavemeinstitches improved when runner-up at Clonmel and is another who has to be on the shortlist.

This should boil down to just a few, with SAINTE TARTARE hard to get away from after her promising second at Tramore on debut. Uhavemeinstitches is the obvious danger if backing up her Clonmel performance. Rue Taylor completes the shortlist.

Uhavemeinstitches looks a lovely prospect but she may find another Mullins horse too strong in the shape of SAINTE TARTARE

12:52 Limerick Handicap Chase 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

James Smith takes a useful 7lb off the back of top-weight BIG DEBATES and he looks to have a big shout in this company. The Sholokhov gelding ran much better back over fences when fourth in the Cork Grand National early last month and remains on the same mark. Weihnachts comes here in winning form, but that was back in April. The Beat Hollow gelding won well at Down Royal, when up in trip, and is capable off this kind of mark. He is one of three in the JP McManus colours. Donkey Years is another to note for local trainer Eric McNamara.

BIG DEBATES caught the eye when finishing strongly in the Cork National and can strike back in trip with a promising conditional up. Donkey Years is on a good mark back chasing, while the returning Weihnachts can go well after scoring at Down Royal when last seen in the spring.

BIG DEBATES hasn't won in two years but a repeat of his Cork Grand National fourth should suffice in a weak contest.

13:27 Limerick Maiden Chase 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BIOLUMINESCENCE is an exciting prospect over fences. The Walk In The Park mare was impressive when winning a Grade 3 over timber here in March and it's no surprise to see her back for an ease in the ground. She disappointed on her last start in Grade 1 company at Fairyhouse, but her future has always looked to be over fences. Shecouldbeanything is the one to beat on chase form. She was far from disgraced, despite finishing last, in the Drinmore at the start of the month and already has a Listed and Grade 3 win under her belt. Paggane was a decent sort over hurdles, but needs to improve for a fence to beat the aforementioned pair.

BIOLUMINESCENCE is very much the type to do well over fences and is taken to make a successful start. Shecouldbeanything had her wings clipped in a Fairyhouse Grade 1 against the males last month but should bounce back. Kiltealy Park did it nicely at Clonmel and isn't discounted up in trip.

BIOLUMINESCENCE won a Grade 3 hurdle here and she bolted up on her sole point outing so is expected to improve sent chasing.

14:02 Limerick Conditions Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

This looks like a nice opportunity for KILCRUIT on his return from a lengthy absence. The Stowaway gelding hasn't been seen since a beaten favourite in the Galway Plate in August 2023. He hasn't quite reached the heights that he promised when runner-up in the Cheltenham Champion Bumper, and winning the Grade 1 contest at Punchestown, but has some smart form nonetheless and could prove the class act in this. Stablemate Jalila Moriviere is an interesting rival. The Joshua Tree filly was last seen finishing second in a Listed hurdle at Auteuil in May. Karl Des Tourelles ran well in handicap company at Punchestown last time and is another to consider.

JALILA MORIVIERE quickly got to grips with hurdling in France, running a cracker behind a promising one at Auteuil when last seen, and she could be the way to go in this tricky contest. Stablemate Kilcruit is feared most ahead of Karl des Tourelles.

KARL DES TOURELLES, who went close in a good 3m Punchestown handicap when last seen, is the most solid option in this contest.

14:36 Limerick Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

STRUTTER is an interesting recruit for Willie Mullins. The Racinger gelding won a handicap hurdle for Nicky Henderson when last seen at Uttoxeter in May and is still relatively unexposed. There may be a bit to work with off his mark of 104. Optional Mix won this race off the same mark a couple of years ago and ran a solid race at Thurles last time. She could be the danger. Doyen For A Drink won on her first outing for Ger O'Leary before a decent effort over fences at Tramore. She's another for the shortlist.

There is a good chance STRUTTER remains ahead of his mark starting out for Willie Mullins and he gets the vote over 2022-winner Optional Mix and Billy Lee Swagger.

The eyes are drawn to Strutter but the last time SUNDIAL (nap) ran in cheekpieces, he finished fourth in the Boodles at Cheltenham

15:11 Limerick Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MOUNT FERNS may be able to strike again back on softer ground. Conor McNamara reported that his mount didn't handle the better ground at Cork last month having won impressively on his first outing for the yard on easier going at Listowel. He could still be nicely treated. She's On Line was narrowly beaten on her last visit here and could be a danger, despite not showing that form at Musselburgh last time. Cheekpieces are tried now. Apologise was picked up for just 1,000 pounds at the sales in July and is an interesting one, with trainer Gary McGill making the long trip down from County Derry.

BRIDIE'S BEAU could be ready to take a big step forward now handicapping and gets the vote. Scarlet Purse has a similar profile and is one to note, while Mount Ferns can bounce back to form to get in the hunt.

Wide-open. BRIDIE'S BEAU has been quiet in his maidens but handicaps are now a better option and he showed promise in bumpers

15:41 Limerick Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

WARDENS WHISPER has run well on his last couple of outings and looks up to winning a race at this level. The Youmzain gelding chased home the well-backed Robbies Rock on his last outing at Cork, a fortnight ago, and a similar performance may be enough now. Bid Up made a couple of mistakes in the closing stages when fifth in that race and could be a danger on his second handicap outing. Therellbguddaysyet wasn't disgraced in Grade 3 company at Cork last time and doesn't look badly treated on his handicap debut. He's another for the shortlist.

WARDENS WHISPER is going the right way and can strike for his in-form yard. New York Style is interesting on her return for top connections, while 3-y-o Bid Up might not be far away again.

It will be interesting to see what the market thinks of the Charles Byrnes-trained ON YOUR WAY, whose best run came over C&D in October

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.
