LTO Selection:

17:30 Limerick Handicap Chase 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

FLY DE MEGAUDAIS showed much more at Tipperary, which brings him into contention for this race. He only gave best on the run-in and was beaten less than two lengths into third. Dreamsrmadeofthis fell in Tramore, but the form of her third on her penultimate start at Thurles gives her claims. Crowsatedappletart has been in decent nick over hurdles and bids to exploit a lower mark over fences. He hasn't shown much in two outings in this sphere, but there is still time to change that. Name Me Famous has been off since September, but did post a useful second place in a novice handicap chase at Sligo then. The Eye Of Tulla and Hard Rain are far from out of contention.

The vote goes to FLY DE MEGAUDAIS, who returned to form back from a break at Tipperary three weeks ago and he has every chance off the same mark, which is just 1 lb higher compared to when winning at that same course last summer. The Eye of Tulla has yet to get his head in front but arrives here in good heart and should give another good account, while fellow maiden Hard Rain is pretty consistent on the whole and he looks set for another prominent role.

It could be worth taking a chance with THE EYE OF TULLA who has occasionally looked capable of exploiting his modest rating

LTO Selection:

18:00 Limerick Conditions Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

JEREMYS FLAME can give the weight away. On paper, this is a stiff test considering that she is rated 4lb superior to Hurricane Georgie, but has to give her 15lb. Jeremys Flame has been in terrific form since October, though, winning at Galway before picking up a Grade 3 in Naas and a Listed chase at Huntingdon. Hurricane Georgie has been off since October, but has plenty of solid form in the book, including when landing the Midlands National in Kilbeggan last summer. She has gone nicely off a break before. Effernock Fizz emerged with credit from a runner-up berth in a Grade 3 chase at Killarney this month, with Minx Tiara well behind her in fourth.

Preference is for HURRICANE GEORGIE, who can go well fresh and is suited by the conditions of this contest. Jeremys Flame is feared most.

Though EFFERNOCK FIZZ has a bit to find on these terms with all her rivals, she is at her best on summer ground and can score.

LTO Selection:

18:30 Limerick Maiden Chase 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CAESAR ROCK is vulnerable to a chasing newcomer, but his experience stands him in good stead and he holds an each-way chance. He ran well for a long way over a similar trip at Killarney before finishing third behind the market principals. The Friday Man was beaten into third at odds-on in Down Royal, but he will appreciate this better ground and that was only his first crack at fences. Grozni has been mixing in deep waters over hurdles, and trip and ground look ideal for his first go at fences. San Salvador is interesting on chasing debut. Joseph O'Brien's charge won twice over the smaller obstacles, including in a Grade B handicap hurdle at Punchestown.

THE FRIDAY MAN's inexperience was evident starting out over fences at Down Royal but he'll know a lot more this time and given his record over hurdles, he looks the one to beat. San Salvador and Grozni switch to the larger obstacles for excellent yard and are feared most.

This looks an open race but SAN SALVADOR is arguably the most appealing runner despite his lack of chasing experience

LTO Selection:

19:00 Limerick Handicap Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

WINNIE WOODNUTT has won three point-to-points, including this spring at Borris House, and gained her first success under Rules when taking a Kilbeggan handicap hurdle in good style last month. The Kalanisi mare now switches to racecourse fences for the first time and young amateur Alex Harvey again claims 7lb. Likable Chancer has returned to form recently fitted with blinkers, causing a 33/1 shock at Tramore before beating all bar the odds-on Full Noise at Downpatrick. O Mio Babbino won on good ground at Thurles earlier this year, while recent point-to-point winner Tech Talk is another to consider. Meehall won twice on varying ground conditions last year and should progress from a run at Ballinrobe last month. Course hurdle winner Shean Glory can't be discounted either.

Having belatedly shed the maiden tag at Tramore on his penultimate start, LIKABLE CHANCER backed that when runner-up behind a handicap blot at Downpatrick 3 weeks ago. He gets the nod to continue the good work, with chase debutante Winnie Woodnutt who ran out an impressive winner over hurdles 5 weeks ago next best. Recent point scorer Tech Talk is another to keep an eye on.

As a three-time points winner WINNIE WOODNUTT should have no trouble making the transition to chasing and she is in excellent form

LTO Selection:

19:30 Limerick Maiden Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SOME DOVE makes her chase debut on seasonal reappearance but was capable last summer. A dual hurdle winner, she is ideally suited by good ground, is joint top rated at 109 over hurdles and is further helped by today's mares' allowance. She will be well schooled and is forward-going. It'sallabouteve is similarly 109-rated over hurdles and receives 7lb and while race-fit, makes her chase debut and might prefer slower ground. Bonne Debut, a first-time-out winner, also debuts over fences but has pointing experience. She likes good ground but would prefer further. Lightly-weighted Hope Des Blins has a chase rating of 112 but has fallen three times over fences and reappears. Race-fit Friends N Commerce makes his chase debut but could fare better in this sphere while Gali Flight looked likely to finish second when exiting at Kilbeggan last month.

HOPE DES BLINS holds much the best form and back in these calmer waters is taken to gain her first success over fences. Some Dove is in good hands and next on the list if hitting the ground running on her chasing debut. Look Dont Touch also has less on his plate and appeals as the pick of the rest.

Having run promisingly on second chase start at Ballinrobe last time in a stronger race than this, LOOK DONT TOUCH could score.

LTO Selection:

20:00 Limerick Handicap Chase 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

FULL NOISE returned to form when winning at Downpatrick and might defy a 12lb hike. Disqualified from his initial 2021 win, his best form is over staying distances so should appreciate today's extra distance and is also well suited by a sound surface. Veteran Sanibel Island is also suited by good ground and while well held on his latest run, has has a break since and should compete from his rating. Tullyhogue Fort wasn't beaten far over hurdles at Bangor last month and is ideally suited by today's distance and good ground. Gondor is a lightly-raced maiden eight year old who returns from a break but has claims on best form and also likes good ground.

FULL NOISE landed a gamble with something to spare at Downpatrick last time and remains well treated on hurdle form so should take a bit of stopping again. Gondor shaped quite well in a big field at Leopardstown over Christmas and could be the chief threat if fully primed on his return to action. The shortlist is completed by Tullyhogue Fort, who has done well over hurdles since last seen over fences.

Despite a 12lb hike for winning at Downpatrick last time, FULL NOISE can follow up off a mark which he nearly defied over hurdles.

LTO Selection:

20:30 Limerick Handicap Chase 26f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

THE ABBEY is 9lb higher than when winning a similar race at Down Royal earlier this month but is dependable and is suited by conditions. Ideally suited by summer staying races, today's similar stamina test will help. Goodnightngodbless took 27 runs to win over fences, at Wexford on Saturday, but is also well suited to staying distances. Her same rider claims 2lb less today and is 7lb higher (and 2lb 'wrong' under her fixed penalty) with today's quick reappearance also not being ideal. Earths Furies is a dual course winner who stays well but would prefer soft ground while Battle Of Mirbat is interesting stepping back up in distance and is race-fit. Centurion Steel hung left-handed at Cheltenham in October and returns following a break while Outside The Door stays well but also returns following a break.

THE ABBEY had loads to spare when landing a 12-runner event at Down Royal recently and is worth a chance to follow up at the likely expense of fellow last-time-out winner Goodnightngodbless. Earths Furies is another one to consider.

After easily getting off the mark at Down Royal last time over a similar trip, THE ABBEY can defy a 9lb higher mark.

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.
