LTO Selection:

13:40 Limerick Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

LIBBY's experience should stand her in good stead here. Joseph O'Brien's charge has appeared in four hurdle races and posted a pair of fourth-placed finishes behind some very useful sorts in maiden hurdles before occupying the same position in a Listed contest at Doncaster in January. Her clear second on testing ground in a Gowran Park maiden hurdle this month sets a fair standard. Media Naranja is a big player. She improved on her second start to be pipped on the line in a big field at Navan. Corey McGivern's 7lb claim helps her cause. Heather Bear won twice on the Flat and is worth a market check on her jumping debut.

The vote goes to MEDIA NARANJA, who confirmed the promise of her hurdles debut fourth when going close in a big-field at Navan last time and she is open to further improvement. Heather Bear is 3-7 on the Flat and it'll be interesting to see how she gets on now tackling hurdles but Libby has already shown a fairly useful level of form in this sphere and she is the clear main danger.

Seemingly a match, with the less exposed claimer-ridden MEDIA NARANJA preferred to the solid claims of the more experienced Libby

LTO Selection:

14:15 Limerick Maiden Hurdle 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SO DES FLOS lost out by the minimum margin at Fairyhouse in January, but could get off the mark here. That was over a shorter trip and he then raced over further in Thurles before finishing third. This extended 2m5f and first-time cheekpieces might work the oracle. Cheekpieces are also tried on Potters Party who has a notable third place at Clonmel in the book. The form of that race has been well franked. He tends to attract support and ground conditions will be fine. MacDermott has been beaten a fair way into third and sixth on his two starts and takes a marked step up in trip. He represents the champion trainer, though, and is one to consider.

This drop in trip and the addition of cheekpieces could be just the ticket for SO DES FLOS, who wasn't beaten far despite looking rather laboured when third over 23.7f at Thurles last month. Potters Party remains open to improvement and he is second choice ahead of Castle Field Boy. Macdermott produced a rather tame finishing effort on his hurdles debut at Down Royal but he couldn't be in better hands and may be seen in a better light now faced with a stiffer test.

A good opportunity for SO DES FLOS (nap) to get off the mark, chiefly at the expense of Potters Party, both now with cheekpieces

LTO Selection:

14:50 Limerick Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Henning won over this trip on penultimate start in Fairyhouse. She was unplaced when next seen in Thurles, but that was in a Grade 3 novice hurdle. She just gets into this contest with her mark of 116 and could have a significant part to play. THETYS may have more scope than others in this field. She stayed on well to make the breakthrough at Naas, on her sixth start, just over a month ago. That was in a higher grade, so she may be up to defying a 7lb rise. Royal Rhythm was strong in Clonmel last week. He had to make his own running there and, if still fresh, should be a contender up in class on ground he loves. He escaped with a 4lb rise from that recent victory. Friends N Commerce hasn't run over a trip as short as this since his debut more than two years ago. He has posted plenty of placed efforts, though. Positive Thinker keeps banking cheques and is another dropping back in trip.

THETYS was strong at the finish when opening her account at the second attempt in handicap company at Naas and, with the best surely yet to come from this unexposed 4-y-o, she should have little trouble dealing with a 7 lb rise in the weights. The consistent Positive Thinker is likely to give another good account and he is feared most ahead of Friends N Commerce.

Quite an open-looking handicap in which POSITIVE THINKER can gain an overdue first success now dropped in trip

LTO Selection:

15:25 Limerick Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

LOVELY REACTION is taken to bounce back. She was pulled up on her last start over further in Clonmel, but may be better judged on her C&D success on soft ground last month. She's had almost six weeks break since that below-par run in Clonmel. Kate Ill Know put in an encouraging performance when third over this trip in Clonmel and wouldn't need to find much more to threaten. It is worth noting that she has a deep-ground victory in the book from Clonmel. Crowsatedappletart's best form is over this sort of trip, so he merits consideration. Young Fitzy and Another Million could get in the money.

YOUNG FITZY has slipped to an attractive mark and again shaped as though his turn may be near when fourth here on Sunday. The 8-y-o can underline that impression by regaining the winning thread, perhaps at the chief expense of Crowsatedappletart, who wasn't seen to best effect back in this sphere at Cork last week. Kate Ill Know is also considered on the back of a creditable effort at Clonmel, while Firework is a possible improver now pitched into a handicap.

Having dropped down the handicap, KATE ILL KNOW could be ready to score again judged on her recent third at Clonmel.

LTO Selection:

16:00 Limerick Handicap Hurdle 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

This represents a drop in class for COVENTRY and he holds each-way claims. The last time he ran in this grade he came in second at Punchestown in October. He is very much at home on soft ground and Corey McGivern lessens the top-weight's burden by 7lb. Vinnie Is Busy won a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle in August last year for Charles Byrnes and hasn't been sighted since. He runs this track well as he won his bumper here and has been placed in a maiden hurdle and in a beginners' chase. He looks to have plenty of talent. Missiee always has to be given plenty of respect on testing ground. She loves the mud flying and scored over 2m4f at this track at Christmas. A line can readily be put through her last run on much better ground. Ardera Ru and Alpesh Amin add further intrigue to this competitive race.

ALPESH AMIN followed his course win with a good Thurles fourth on his handicap bow and gets the verdict with more improvement on the cards. Ardera Ru is next on the list on the back of her Gowran victory with the returning Vinnie Is Busy another who can have a say in an open handicap.

A former hurdle winner here, LOW LIE THE FIELDS didn't really take to fences but can win again reverting to hurdles.

LTO Selection:

16:35 Limerick Handicap Hurdle 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CAPTAIN JIMMY was an easy winner over an extended 3m in the basement grade at Punchestown and appeals. He was unplaced on his next outing, but that was in a much higher grade and, restored to this level, ought to be a player. Holiday In Kerry was caught on the run-in of a 3m handicap hurdle at Clonmel and finished third, but has winning form over 2m6f at this track. The more rain the better for him. Merry Moves has to rate a danger after grabbing her first victory here this month. She got a 7lb rise for that success, but the ground will be fine and she could go well again. Alpha Male is entitled to come on from his spin over the banks in Punchestown after being off for nearly nine months. Hanoi Jane and Church Lane aren't out of it.

HANOI JANE signalled she is ready to open her account when a very good Punchestown fourth and looks the way to go off a handy-looking mark back in handicap company. Course winner Holiday In Kerry is another weighted to have a say while handicap debutante Like Ta Ma and recent course scorer Merry Moves need factoring in too.

A hopeful selection, MRS WATSON ran a solid race on her comeback at Thurles last time and might improve enough to score.

LTO Selection:

17:10 Limerick NH Flat Race 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Gavin Cromwell won this race last year and could repeat the feat with point-to-point graduate BIOLUMINESCENCE. She was an impressive winner of a point-to-point in November and is half-sister to a mare who won a point-to-point before winning her bumper on track debut. Willie Mullins takes the wraps off Junta Marvel who will know her job and is an obvious danger. Two Of Us Know Now is related to a whole host of winners and market support would be significant. Another to monitor for market strength is Make Sunshine. Young Lucy is another place contender.

The market will no doubt reveal plenty but Willie Mullins' newcomer JUNTA MARVEL catches the eye on paper and is taken to make a winning start. Fellow debutante Bioluminescence is another who could have a big say and is next on the list ahead of Katherine, who appeals as the pick of those with experience

Willie Mullins introduces JUNTA MARVEL, who is a token selection ahead of fellow debutante Bioluminescence

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.
