18:50 Limerick Maiden Chase 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

This looks like a nice opportunity for FAVORI DE CHAMPDOU. He was a faller in the Irish National on his last start when looking well beaten and this small field event could be a nice confidence booster. The Saddler Maker gelding was a Grade 2 winner at Punchestown back in November and has kept good company since. At the weights, Joyeux Machin is the obvious danger. He's another Saddler Maker gelding and was pulled up over hurdles when last seen at the Dublin Racing Festival. He had been no match for Lucid Dreams in a rated novice chase before that but had been in good form around Wexford prior to that and is a capable sort at his best. Donacheady Gale could prove best of the remainder.

FAVORI DE CHAMPDOU has the most class in this field and, if none the worse for his fall in the Irish Grand National, he should be able to get the better of Joyeux Machin in a race that the pair are likely to dominate.

Seemingly a match, with recent National faller FAVORI DE CHAMPDOU narrowly preferred to Joyeux Machin

19:20 Limerick Handicap Chase 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SUNNYVILLA had run with credit in a couple of strong contests before scoring at Cork at the start of the month and may be able to follow up now. The Mustameet gelding was given a good ride from the front by Gavin Brouder last time and is just 4lb higher now. Mcgrath From Clune was runner-up on his return to chasing at Thurles last time and is just a pound higher now so has to be on the shortlist. Dundaniel was getting closer when brought down two from home over course and distance last month and title chasing Jack Kennedy is an eye-catching booking now for his brother Michael.

SUNNYVILLA got off the mark for the season at Cork earlier this month and hasn't been harshly treated by the handicapper for that success. He may be able to follow up. Dundaniel and Mcgrath From Clune should also go well.

It may be worth taking a chance on KNOW THE GAME who should be sharper for a recent run over hurdles and is a more effective chaser

19:50 Limerick NH Flat Race 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BALLYGUNNER CASTLE was an eye-catching third on his debut run at Thurles in mid-February and should prove hard to beat now. The Soldier Of Fortune gelding stayed on nicely behind stablemate Coco Masterpiece that day and looked like he would only improve from the experience. The form looks strong with the runner-up, Fishery Lane, going on to finish fifth at Cheltenham. Olympy De Cerisy chased home a Willie Mullins-trained horse, in Cantico, at Navan last time and it could be a similar story for Declan Queally's charge, who is fitted with a tongue-tie and hood for the first time. Pat Foley's newcomer Jericho Du Fenoir is one to note in the market. The five-year-old cost €65,000 as a store a couple of years ago and is a half-brother to Champion Hurdler Espoir D'allen.

BALLYGUNNER CASTLE found only a couple of stablemates too strong at Thurles in February and he's a strong fancy to open his account upped in trip at the expense of Olympy de Cerisy, who couldn't live with another Willie Mullins' runner last time but rates as the obvious threat. Private Policy looks best of the remainder.

Not knocked about when a promising third on debut, BALLYGUNNER CASTLE could now take the beating over this longer trip

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.
