12:20 Limerick Handicap Chase 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

In hindsight, R'EVELYN PLEASURE faced a stiff task in last year's renewal won by Sir Bob who has gone on to show useful form off much higher marks. Sean O'Brien's charge was held in second when coming down at the last but he's a lot lower in the ratings now and had a pipe-opener for this when fourth at Thurles just a week before Christmas. The Dabbler ran well when fourth in the Galway Blazers in August and had a nice run over hurdles on that same pre-Christmas card at Thurles. Fiveaftermidnight isn't the most consistent but is capable of a good run at her best and is from a yard that continues in fine form. Ex Patriot is plummeting in the ratings but has obviously had issues and isn't easy to fancy on recent efforts.

SPACE CADET was third in the Ulster National off 6 lb higher on last season's reappearance and might be worth siding with to see off R'Evelyn Pleasure, who looked booked for second when coming down at the last in this 12 months ago and arrives on the back of a decent run at Thurles.

R'EVELYN PLEASURE went into the notebook when fourth over an inadequate trip at Thurles and should take stopping now upped in yardage

12:55 Limerick Handicap Chase 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

EVIES VLADIMIR fairly rattled home for second over 2m4f at Down Royal on Tuesday having had a lot to do early in the straight. It has to be significant that Gavin Cromwell turns him out again so soon and this longer trip should suit the six-year-old who returned from a long absence to win on handicap debut at Clonmel last month. Rolly Bowley Boy was also in action on Tuesday when placed over a shorter distance at this venue. He's another that will be suited by a greater emphasis on stamina but giving over a stone to the selection may be beyond him. Baldur's Gate comes back in trip after a decisive win over 3m at Punchestown and has to enter calculations, while Da Big Fella pulled a shoe when disappointing behind Baldur's Gate but his Galway second the time before was franked when the winner followed up at Cheltenham.

EVIES VLADIMIR is progressing well over fences and weighted to resume winning ways on the back of his good Down Royal second. Punchestown scorer Baldur's Gate is feared most ahead of in-form duo Rolly Bowley Boy and Lady Kate.

Rolly Bowley Boy and Baldur's Gate look destined to play a big part but DA BIG FELLA has a handy weight and is preferred

13:30 Limerick Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

YOUR HONOR should be okay on the heavy ground and won his maiden here in the spring. He didn't get home over 2m4f when sixth at Navan last time and coming back in trip should help. The selection was third to Media Naranja at Ballinrobe in May but is considerably better off at the weights with that rival on this occasion. Media Naranja was a creditable fifth in a strong all-aged handicap at Fairyhouse last time and still merits plenty of respect for top connections. Paradise Lost and Whimsy are closely matched on the basis of a clash at Thurles last month and both enter handicap company for the first time. Ossie's Lodge is a bumper winner who looks to have been allotted a fair opening mark and how he goes in the market will be interesting.

A few with chances but LUMINOUS LIGHT is weighted to go close on the back of his good Fairyhouse novice third so gets the vote. Morning Soldier is another who can have a say on these terms, while both Whimsy and Ossie's Lodge can make their mark with improvement on the cards.

He'll handle the ground and coming back from 2m4f will suit, so a chance is taken with course winner YOUR HONOR; note Ossie's Lodge

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

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

ASK THE BOOKIE competes from an effective mark of 108 in this rated contest and may have a bit of leeway from that initial perch. Runner-up in a 2m4f maiden at Cork last year, the six-year-old has run two creditable races on winter ground this term including when third on the inner track here last month. Eoin Griffin was amongst the winners at Leopardstown on Wednesday and Splashing Out goes well on heavy ground at Limerick, She was second in this race last year and won a mares handicap in good style on the inner track when last seen. She's A Fine Wine has a possible class edge after finishing third in a Grade 3 at Navan and her maiden win came over C&D in October. She just needs to settle better than she did at Navan to enable her to get home on heavy ground here.

SPLASHING OUT took a C&D handicap in great style last time out and looks the way to go back in maiden company. C&D winner She's A Fine Wine appeals as a big threat though, with Rockview Consort and Starman also in the picture.

An effective mark of 108 may afford a bit of leeway to ASK THE BOOKIE who has run been running well and will handle the ground

14:35 Limerick Maiden Hurdle 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Paul Nolan landed a maiden hurdle on the first day of Limerick's Christmas meeting and ICEBERG THEORY may be another winner for the Enniscorthy trainer. The Flemensfirth gelding has two solid maiden runs in the book and handled testing ground well when runner-up over a similar trip at Wexford. Eric McNamara has had a couple of horses run really well this week and Thegraveyardbookie is interesting on hurdling debut. He has shown ability in bumpers and finished ahead of the selection's Wexford conqueror in a Galway contest that has produced hurdle winners. Magic Sadler is a point-to-point winner on heavy ground who has run creditably on his first two starts over hurdles. He'll handle conditions and may not be far away.

ICEBERG THEORY ran well when runner-up at Wexford last time and, in this slightly lesser race, a performance of similar merit would be enough for him to go in again. On Lovers Walk is a big threat if he can put a poor run behind him and Thegraveyardbookie could feature on hurdling bow.

After two solid runs in maidens, including when second on heavy ground at Wexford, ICEBERG THEORY looks the one to beat

15:10 Limerick Maiden Hurdle 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MARCIANO has shown enough in three starts to merit each-way support in a race where compelling form is thin on the ground. His opening fifth on heavy ground at Clonmel has been well franked and on his next start in Ballinrobe he ran out when leading. His subsequent fourth in Killarney wasn't a bad effort. His trainer, Edward O'Grady, saddled a winner for owner JP McManus at Leopardstown on Tuesday. Day's A Dawning has been unplaced in three bumpers, but represents Gordon Elliott's powerful stable and could improve on hurdling debut. Jeronimo De L'ouch put in an improved display in fourth at Naas and could build upon that while Caughtinaspell's fourth place in Clonmel gives her a chance.

BALALLY PARK improved when fourth in a stronger contest at Wexford and this looks a good opportunity for him to open his account if he's in the same form. Caughtinaspell and Marciano look the main dangers although Ashdale Flyer would merit strong consideration if she got in (currently first reserve).

He wasn't mapped in a better maiden last time but his previous fourth on the inner track here gives MIDWEEK VOICES a decent chance

15:42 Limerick Handicap Hurdle 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

JOHNGUS would have to be taken very seriously if turning out again under a penalty. He reappeared from an absence of more than eight months to win a handicap hurdle over 2m at this venue on Wednesday. That was a race it where it paid to be handy as very few got into it, and he was able to stride home by four and a half lengths. He has won two of his last three races which is decent form in the context of this race. Natural Breeze gets first-time blinkers on the back of a string of consistent efforts where he has been picking up prize money. Caragh Monaghan is getting a tune out of St Denis's Well with the duo winning in Navan and finishing fourth in Down Royal on Tuesday.

The suggestion is ST DENIS'S WELL, assuming this doesn't come too soon after Down Royal on Tuesday. Young Fitzy arrives on the back of a couple of decent runs and also makes the shortlist along with Wednesday's Limerick-winner Johngus and Philip Rothwell pair Legacy of Dreams and Natural Breeze.

THE FLYING DONKEY was the outsider on handicap debut at Tramore but he fired a real sign of intent in fourth, and is given the nod

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.
