LTO Selection:

12:25 Limerick Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

An intriguing contest to start proceedings, in which preference is for BUNTING, who debuts for Willie Mullins having bolted up on the Flat at Fontainebleau in March. There are signs of encouragement in his pedigree, so it would come as no surprise to see him make an immediate impact over timber. Voice Of Reason struck in a Killarney maiden over the summer and he is another that might benefit from the change in code. Stablemate Timeless Piece is fancied to chase the pair home.

The most interesting of these by some way is BUNTING, who looked good when winning his sole start on the Flat in France and is an intriguing candidate now switched to hurdles for the Willie Mullins yard. Timeless Piece is clear second choice given the improvement she showed when fourth at Punchestown last month. Bright Legend, Mr Lincoln and Voice of Reason, all successful on the level, all need a second look on their hurdles debuts.

Some interesting Flat winners on debut and the most likely one looks to be French Flat winner BUNTING on his debut for Willie Mullins

12:58 Limerick Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Connections will have been a little disappointed that JOLIE COEUR ALLEN was unable to notch up a maiden hurdles success at Tramore last month, having finished a creditable fifth in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree the start prior. She ought to have learned plenty from that experience and this looks a fine opportunity to get on the scoresheet. Picture Of You, who was narrowly denied at Cork 30 days ago, would appear to be her main danger. Others to note include Nathan Wells and Joyau De Thaix.

JOLIE COEUR ALLEN found disappointingly little when push came to shove on her hurdles debut at Tramore, but she remains a useful prospect in view of what she showed in bumpers and is taken to get the job done this time. Picture of You is the clear main danger on the back of her near miss at Cork, while Nathan Wells and likely improver Joyau de Thaix both make each-way appeal.

Preference is for PICTURE OF YOU, who would have got up in another stride at Cork last month and is going the right way

(6) Loughglynn 9/4, Lightly-raced winner under Rules. 2/5, career best when winning 8-runner novice hurdle at Punchestown (20.8f, soft) on hurdles bow 40 days ago, easily. Remains open to improvement for top yard, which saddled the winner of this in 2016 and 2017.
Good bumper form and comfortably made all on hurdling debut at Punchestown; exciting.

Didn't exactly blow them away when long odds-on at Tramore but going the right way.
LTO Selection:

13:33 Limerick Maiden Hurdle 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

This contest is likely to prove instructive in assessing the Irish staying novice hurdlers with LOUGHGLYNN and Search For Glory both promising sorts. The latter landed a Grade 3 at Cork last time and Gordon Elliott's dour stayer is likely to be firmly in the mix once again. He may struggle to concede 3lb to Willie Mullins' gelding, who showed smart form in bumpers last term and a facile success on his hurdling debut at Punchestown last month suggests that he can take high rank in this sphere. Stellar Story and Tramore winner Banprionsa appeal most of the remainder.

Gordon Elliott boasts a good recent record in this race and saddles two strong candidates in STELLAR STORY and Search For Glory. The vote goes to the former, who was a beaten favourite in a Grade 2 at Navan recently but he should have more to offer now faced with a stiffer test. Search For Glory did the job well in a Cork Grade 3 with first-time cheekpieces enlisted and another bold show is anticipated. Loughglynn and the mare Banprionsa are other promising types to consider.

Gordon Elliott has a strong hand with two live chances but LOUGHGLYNN has good form already and this giant has better days ahead of him

Dual winning hurdler; useful 7lb taken off her back here and not one to discount.
LTO Selection:

14:08 Limerick Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ME WEE BONNIE LASS is unbeaten in two starts over the smaller obstacles, including when accounting for her nearest rival by over two lengths on her handicap debut at Gowran Park last month. The daughter of Doyen could improve for the step up in distance and can defy her 12lb hike. The main danger might be Ms Agartha Yeats, who hit the crossbar over 2m6f at Navan last time and could land a blow off a 4lb higher rating, while Return To Base should find this easier than her assignment at Ballinrobe in September.

ME WEE BONNIE LASS looked potentially useful when making a winning handicap debut at Gowran last month and she can maintain her unbeaten record with more still to offer upped in trip. Optional Mix won over C&D at this meeting last year and is feared most with her recent run behind her, ahead of Ms Agartha Yeats.

Preference is for the unbeaten ME WEE BONNIE LASS who made a seamless transition into handicap company at Gowran last month

LTO Selection:

14:40 Limerick Maiden Chase 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

THE KING OF PRS got up in the dying strides to deny Henn See (second) by a length on his chase debut at Wexford and he would have learned a great deal from that experience. The son of Dansant shaped as if this slightly extra distance could eke out more improvement and he can confirm that form to take this. As for the latter, he went on to be victorious by just over a length at Clonmel and can put it up to the selection again. Of the remainder, Irish Blaze makes the most appeal on his first start for the Cian Collins stable.

There was only a length between THE KING OF PRS and Henn See at Wexford last month and, on the same terms, if should again be close between them. Gavin Cromwell's charge looks progressive and he is taken to emerge on top again, and complete the hat-trick in the process. Karuma Grey could be the one to pick up minor honours.

No outstanding candidate. JACKPOT DE CHOISEL remains unexposed, is bred to make a chaser and has the handy 4yo allowance.

LTO Selection:

15:15 Limerick Handicap Chase 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ROLLY BOWLEY BOY bumped into a well-handicapped rival when second at Navan nine days ago and the application of a visor can see the six-year-old go one better here. That said, Mahlers Cove should not be underestimated having made the frame at Naas last time, while Meehall is another with strong form claims. The shortlist is completed by Freddie Robdal and Teescomponentsyess.

MEEHALL has been generally consistent over both hurdles and fences this year and can build on a trio of sound efforts over the smaller obstacles to gain a deserved success. Rolly Bowley Boy has run well on both outings this season and should continue in form, with Mahlers Cove and Teescomponentsyess also considered.

The one to be on could be MAHLERS COVE (nap) after a very good run at Naas last time. He could be a very effective handicap chaser

LTO Selection:

15:50 Limerick NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Workinonadream sets the standard having filled second place in all three of her previous starts but a chance can be taken with the well-bred MAGIC MCCOLGAN. Willie Mullins' filly cost 88,000 euros as a foal and she is a full-sister Tornado Flyer, who won a Grade 1 bumper before going on to score in the King George VI Chase at Kempton. Others to consider are Sainte Baol and Rachel's Secret.

MAGIC MCCOLGAN is a full sister to the classy Tornado Flyer and, with a top yard, he makes plenty of appeal. Sainte Baol is an obvious danger having landed a point and Workinonadream is the best of those with bumper experience.

The Mullins filly MAGIC MCCOLGAN is a serious eyecatcher on paper as a sister to the stable's top-class chaser Tornado Flyer.

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.
