13:50 Limerick Stakes 7f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 (1) (8/1 +0%) Orandi	8 8/1(+0%)	(1) Orandi 8/1, Capitalised on his falling mark when winning at the Curragh in May. Found it tougher back up in the weights when fifth of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (7.7f, good to soft, 5/1) 55 days ago, but he can give his running again. Recent winner at the Curragh; these terms aren't easy but needs respecting.
6	6 (6) (11/2 +45%) Polar Bear	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(6) Polar Bear 11/2, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Not in the same form as previous outing when sixth of 13 in handicap at Listowel (6.3f, good, 5/1) 35 days ago. Needs to step up on what he's shown so far this season. Rain welcomed; bit disappointing last time at Listowel and peak efforts were last season.
9	9 (9) (22/1 -38%) Gustavus Weston	22 22/1(-38%)	(9) Gustavus Weston 22/1, In first-time eyeshields, step back in the right direction when fourth of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Tipperary (5f, heavy) 40 days ago. Headgear needs to have the same effect this time around as he goes back up in trip. Regressive and these terms ask a bit of him in his current vein of form.
1	10 1st (10) (10/1 +0%) Linger For Longer	10 10/1(+0%)	(10) Linger For Longer 10/1, With headgear left off, bounced back to her best when winning 14-runner handicap (16/1) at Tipperary (7.1f, soft) 39 days ago. Task is now to be able to build on that effort. Recent Tipperary winner off 67; this race demands more from her.
2	7 2nd (7) (8/1 +33%) Imperial Dream	8 8/1(+33%)	(7) Imperial Dream 8/1, Followed a good run with a below-par one when sixth of 8 in handicap (5/1) at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Not long with current yard but he needs to get back on the up. Useful in Britain and penultimate effort brings him into this; may need goodish ground.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/2 +25%) Volatile Analyst	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(3) Volatile Analyst 9/2, With visor applied, hinted at a revival on first run since leaving Adrian McGuinness when fifth of 8 in handicap at Down Royal (7f, good, 11/4) 16 days ago. One to note with cheekpieces back on. Slow start ended all hope on stable debut at Down Royal (7f) and he was only 11-4.
4	11 4th (11) (13/2 +54%) Velvet Skies	6.5 13/2(+54%)	(11) Velvet Skies 13/2, Fair gelding. Run best excused when sixteenth of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good to soft, 7/1) 38 days ago, hampered 2f out. Still looks to have something to find in this contest. Rare poor run at Fairyhouse last time having been in good form from 5f to 7f.
5th	5 5th (5) (10/1 -67%) Salah Belle	10 10/1(-67%)	(5) Salah Belle 10/1, Doubled her tally with a comfortable success at the Curragh in June. Failed to repeat that effort when last of 7 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good, 9/4) 11 days ago, but it still remains early days for her. Won two of her first three and unlikely that she gave her true running last time.
6th	8 6th (8) (5/1 -43%) Blanc De Noir	5 5/1(-43%)	(8) Blanc De Noir 5/1, Shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 7 in handicap at Navan (5f, good, 5/2) 29 days ago. Return to this longer trip should suit and he looks a major player with cheekpieces reapplied. Running on over the minimum last time; consistent 4yo who shouldn't be far away.
7th	4 7th (4) (16/1 -60%) Genesis	16 16/1(-60%)	(4) Genesis 16/1, Off the mark at Dundalk in March. Upped in grade when 7½ lengths last of 5 to Mutasarref in listed race at Naas (7f, good to firm, 33/1) 49 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Barry Fitzgerald. Useful form over Dundalk's 6f before being outclassed in a 7f Listed race at Naas.
8th	2 8th (2) (9/2 +55%) Miss Black Jack	4.5 9/2(+55%)	(2) Miss Black Jack 9/2, Opened her account Dundalk in April. Again ran respectably when 4 lengths eighth of 11 to Zerostress in listed race at Dortmund (6f, good to soft) 2 weeks ago. Can make her presence felt back down in grade. Posted RPR of 90 on the AW in April and a big player if returning to that level.
9th	12 9th (12) (28/1 -180%) The Poacher Daly	28 28/1(-180%)	(12) The Poacher Daly 28/1, Hooded for 1st time, below form fifth of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Dundalk (7f) in March, racing freely. Others more persuasive as he makes turf debut with tongue strap applied (has been gelded). Threatened once on the AW; gelded and now tongue-tied for turf debut.

Having caught the eye on a couple of occasions of late, BLANC DE NOIR can record a second career success. A consistent gelding since joining trainer Johnny Murtagh, the four-year-old has been plying his trade in a slightly higher grade of late. With Ben Coen returning to the saddle, the son of Showcasing holds leading claims. Recent Tipperary scorer Linger For Longer has been an infrequent visitor to the winners' enclosure but as a mare in form, she commands respect, while Imperial Dream has run well enough on three starts since joining Pat Flynn to suggest that he will get his turn in the coming weeks.

BLANC DE NOIR has been shaping up well for his current yard this year, coming from further back than the others who made the frame at Navan last time, so he could be ready to return to winning ways as he drops back in grade. Miss Black Jack has contested listed races on 2 of her last 3 starts and is respected, with Volatile Analyst also in the mix.

An open rated race with a few holding chances on these terms. BLANC DE NOIR has a bit to find at the weights but he's consistent.

14:20 Limerick Maiden 8f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
10	10 (10) (12/1 -100%) Final Curtain	12 12/1(-100%)	(10) Final Curtain 12/1, Lope De Vega filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful North American winner around 1m Turf King and 7f winner Doux Esprit. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner and placed in several group/graded events) out of unraced daughter of Coronation Stakes/Prix Marcel Boussac winner Gold Splash. Is by a top sire and comes from a classy damline, so is of strong interest on debut.
4	4 (4) (25/1 +0%) Daniels Dream	25 25/1(+0%)	(4) Daniels Dream 25/1, €10,000 yearling, Estidhkaar gelding. Closely related to winner abroad by Gutaifan and half-brother to several winners, including 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Irish Cat and in France. Dam 1m winner. A 10,000euros yearling; hails from a decent damline and can run respectably on debut.
1	3 1st (3) (11/2 -193%) Bomberg	5.5 11/2(-193%)	(3) Bomberg 11/2, 300,000 gns yearling, Siyouni colt. Dam, 10.5f-1½m (won Prix de Royaumont), granddaughter of Prix Vermeille winner Pearly Shells. Likely type. Cost 300,000gns as a yearling; classy pedigree; respected, more so if strong in the market.
2	7 2nd (7) (5/6 +72%) Vadali	0.833333 5/6(+72%)	(7) Vadali 5/6, Promising type. Third of 14 in maiden at Gowran (8f, good, 12/1) 20 days ago. Should progress again. Third in a maiden over this trip at Gowran last time; needs to find more but be involved.
3	6 3rd (6) (33/1 +0%) Tuba	33 33/1(+0%)	(6) Tuba 33/1, 18,000 gns foal, 11,000 gns 2-y-o, Golden Horn gelding. Half-brother to useful 1¼m winner Penzance. Dam, useful French/US 1m-1¼m winner, closely related to useful winner up to 1m Cloudy Dawn. Cost 18,000gns as a foal but only 11,000gns as a 2yo; best watched unless market strength.
4	11 4th (11) (8/1 +0%) Mapa	8 8/1(+0%)	(11) Mapa 8/1, Lightly-raced filly. 50/1, very good fourth of 13 in maiden at this C&D (good to firm) 25 days ago, taking time to get going. Should improve. Best of four maiden runs came when fourth over C&D last time; has a bit to find to score.
5th	5 5th (5) (150/1 -355%) Point Duty	150 150/1(-355%)	(5) Point Duty 150/1, Once-raced gelding. Tongue strap on, tenth of 14 in maiden (80/1) at Naas (5.9f, good) on debut 11 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Beaten 13l in a 6f Naas maiden; this longer trip will suit but difficult to see scoring.
6th	9 6th (9) (6/1 +0%) Cathedral Peak	6 6/1(+0%)	(9) Cathedral Peak 6/1, Promising sort. 7/1, sixth of 8 in maiden at the Curragh (10f, soft) on debut 42 days ago, very slowly away. Open to improvement. Should have improved from 1m2f debut and interesting that she is dropped in trip.
7th	2 7th (2) (9/1 -50%) Aratayvo	9 9/1(-50%)	(2) Aratayvo 9/1, Lightly-raced colt. 6/1, twelfth of 13 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, good) 51 days ago. Stable having good spell. One to bear in mind on pick of form. One good run last year but well below that twice since and needs a return to his best.
8th	8 8th (8) (250/1 -150%) Ali's Court	250 250/1(-150%)	(8) Ali's Court 250/1, Twice-raced filly. Twelfth of 15 in maiden (200/1) at this course (7f, good) 15 days ago, very slowly away. Soundly beaten in two maidens recently, including over 7f here; best wait for handicaps.
9th	1 9th (1) (66/1 -100%) No Smoke	66 66/1(-100%)	(1) No Smoke 66/1, Second Thought gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 1m winner Epica and 2-y-o 6f winner Terror Spirit. Dam, 6f winner, half-sister to useful 6f-1m winner Film Maker. Not a bad pedigree but late-starter is best watched for future reference.

Trainers Michael Halford and Tracey Collins can continue their fine recent spell with VADALI. Fourth behind a subsequent winner at Gowran Park in May, the Aga Khan-owned colt returned to that same track to finish third last time. Slowly away on that latter occasion, the son of Churchill kept on strongly from over a furlong out. The Dermot Weld-trained Aratayvo sets the standard with an official rating of 81. However, having disappointed on his final start as a juvenile, there was little encouragement to be taken from his three-year-old's return in May. Final Curtain is an interesting debutant from the Johnny Murtagh yard. It would be no surprise to see the daughter of Lope De Vega play a part in the finish.

VADALI took another step forward when third at Gowran and looks the one to beat. Well-bred newcomer Bomberg is a likely threat for Aidan O'Brien, while Cathedral Peak offered plenty to work on at the Curragh.

It could be worth taking a chance on the well bred Ballydoyle newcomer BOMBERG making a winning debut.

14:20 Limerick Maiden 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:55 Limerick Maiden 8f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
5	5 (5) (5/1 +0%) Monasterboice	5 5/1(+0%)	(5) Monasterboice 5/1, Fairly useful gelding. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 15 in maiden at this course (7f, good, 6/1) 15 days ago, running on. Beaten a half length over 7f at this track last time; cheekpieces retained and run well.
8	8 (8) (6/4 +50%) Thequietman	1.5 6/4(+50%)	(8) Thequietman 6/4, Promising type. Second of 11 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, heavy, 9/2) on debut. Off 91 days. Should progress. Second in a Leopardstown maiden over this trip on debut; player if handling faster ground.
1	10 1st (10) (5/6 +56%) Flight Of Fancy	0.833333 5/6(+56%)	(10) Flight Of Fancy 5/6, Lightly-raced filly. Twenty first of 30 in handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm, 33/1) 16 days ago. Hard to beat. Placed in a Group 3 and premier handicap; poor last time but a major chance if rebounding.
2	6 2nd (6) (6/1 +20%) Newtown Duke	6 6/1(+20%)	(6) Newtown Duke 6/1, 380,000 gns yearling, Lope De Vega colt. Brother to smart winner up to 1½m Duke de Sessa and half-brother to 1¼m winner Hotspur Harry. Dam 11f-1¾m winner. Yard in good form. Check the betting. Brother to a Group 3 winner; of interest on debut, especially if market strength.
3	9 3rd (9) (33/1 +18%) Breathe Again	33 33/1(+18%)	(9) Breathe Again 33/1, Thrice-raced filly. Seventh of 9 in maiden at Leopardstown (10f, good to firm, 50/1) 56 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Is rated 75 after three unplaced maiden runs up to 1m2f; cheekpieces are now added.
4	7 4th (7) (9/2 +40%) Tango Five	4.5 9/2(+40%)	(7) Tango Five 9/2, Once-raced gelding. 50/1, second of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (8f, good to soft) on debut 8 days ago, no match for winner. Open to improvement. Second in a Curragh maiden over this trip last week; faster ground today but can run well.
5th	3 5th (3) (14/1 +44%) Balyan	14 14/1(+44%)	(3) Balyan 14/1, Twice-raced colt. Seventh of 9 in maiden at Leopardstown (10f, good to soft, 16/1) 24 days ago, slowly away. Yard having good spell. Fourth over 7f on debut at Curragh but has questions to answer after a poor run over 1m2f.
6th	4 6th (4) (16/1 +36%) Future Cutlet	16 16/1(+36%)	(4) Future Cutlet 16/1, Once-raced gelding. Fifth of 13 in maiden (22/1) at this C&D (good to firm) on debut 25 days ago. Solid effort on debut over C&D; this is a stronger maiden but he can run well again.
7th	11 7th (11) (251/1 -67%) Saith Seren	251 251/1(-67%)	(11) Saith Seren 251/1, Twice-raced filly. Ninth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f, 125/1), merely passing beaten rivals. Off 7 months. Well beaten in two Dundalk maidens last winter and will be of more interest in handicaps.
8th	2 8th (2) (150/1 -50%) Whoyatryingtocod	150 150/1(-50%)	(2) Whoyatryingtocod 150/1, Pride of Dubai mare. Dam placed at 7f-8.5f out of maiden half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Cape Town. Wears tongue strap. Late-starter with a hood and tongue-tie on is best watched.
9th	1 9th (1) (150/1 -50%) Blue And All Alone	150 150/1(-50%)	(1) Blue And All Alone 150/1, Second Thought filly. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Winners in damline but best watched for future reference.

Irish Oaks entrant FLIGHT OF FANCY sets a strong standard off a mark of 94. Runner-up in a well contested fillies handicap at the Curragh on her penultimate start, the Aidan O'Brien-trained filly had earlier run in a Group 3 race. Although failing to fire at Royal Ascot last month, this represents a major ease in class. Thequietman made a promising racecourse debut when staying on to fill the runner-up position at Leopardstown back in April. The form of that race has been advertised in subsequent months by a few of those that finished behind him. Monasterboice, who was second here in a similar contest last month, has to hold claims under Colin Keane. His experience should also stand to him at this stage of the season.

FLIGHT OF FANCY was well beaten at Royal Ascot but sets the bar pretty high back in a maiden and is preferred to Joseph O'Brien's Leopardstown runner-up Thequietman. Last week's Curragh second Tango Five may prove best of the remainder.

Forgiven a poor run at Royal Ascot last time, FLIGHT OF FANCY is the clear form pick on her best runs and isn't easy to oppose.

14:55 Limerick Maiden 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:30 Limerick Handicap 8f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
9	9 (9) (11/2 -38%) Dolce Far Niente	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(9) Dolce Far Niente 11/2, Very good second at Ballinrobe last month but bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Bellewstown (8f, good) 3 days ago. Still appeals as well treated if able to return to form. Continues to run well but was behind Saffredi at Bellewstown (1m, good) on Thursday.
1	10 1st (10) (10/1 +29%) Newfire	10 10/1(+29%)	(10) Newfire 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, twelfth of 17 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Beaten 10l and 24l in her two handicaps, despite being fancied for the penultimate one.
2	2 2nd (2) (17/2 -21%) Apollo Prince	8.5 17/2(-21%)	(2) Apollo Prince 17/2, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable ninth of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good to soft, 12/1) 38 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. No wins in seven but hasn't been disgraced in 7f-1m handicaps and gelded since last seen.
3	5 3rd (5) (20/1 +0%) St Laurence's Gate	20 20/1(+0%)	(5) St Laurence's Gate 20/1, Fifteenth of 18 in handicap (28/1) at Fairyhouse (7f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Hard to fancy after underwhelming comeback. 0-7; hasn't progressed and needs some help from the new blinkers.
4	1 4th (1) (3/1 +45%) Bizarre Dreams	3 3/1(+45%)	(1) Bizarre Dreams 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Bellewstown (8f, good, 5/1) 3 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Stable in good form but others preferred racing over 1m again. Lacked the gears to land a blow over 1m the other day; previous run was over 1m1f.
5th	6 5th (6) (18/1 -13%) Aisling Oscar	18 18/1(-13%)	(6) Aisling Oscar 18/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at Dundalk in February. 12/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Yet to prove himself effective on turf. Dual AW winner; down the field at Gowran latest and has questions to answer on the grass.
6th	4 6th (4) (11/4 +0%) Saffredi	2.75 11/4(+0%)	(4) Saffredi 11/4, Respectable third of 12 in handicap (3/1) at Bellewstown (8f, good) 3 days ago, conceding first run. Yard having good spell. Has good chance on form. Keeping busy having third start in the space of six days; all of them were respectable.
7th	3 7th (3) (40/1 -186%) Mama Zonia	40 40/1(-186%)	(3) Mama Zonia 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifteenth of 16 in maiden (125/1) at Gowran (7f, heavy) 60 days ago, slowly away. Needs more on performances so far but could do better now handicapping. Some promise in her middle maiden but doesn't look obviously well in for handicap debut.
8th	13 8th (13) (16/1 +20%) The Man Above	16 16/1(+20%)	(13) The Man Above 16/1, Eighth of 14 in handicap (66/1) at Ballinrobe (9.7f, good) 13 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Can't be fancied. Yet to get overly competitive, in cheekpieces the last twice; tongue-tie now added.
9th	8 9th (8) (66/1 -450%) Lightning Legs	66 66/1(-450%)	(8) Lightning Legs 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 5 in maiden at Down Royal (12.8f, good, 28/1) 15 days ago, slowly away. Significantly back down in trip. Open to improvement now handicapping. Found it a struggle in maidens from 1m to 1m5f, beaten 14l+; handicap debutante.
10th	12 10th (12) (12/1 +0%) Star Sailor	12 12/1(+0%)	(12) Star Sailor 12/1, Second at Down Royal (7f, good) in May and ran to similar level when seventh of 16 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good, 22/1) 21 days ago. Perhaps still not the easiest ride but holds place claims. 0-6; not ideal being 3lb wrong and Alan Persse has been claiming.
11th	11 11th (11) (40/1 -21%) Dreamline Amelia	40 40/1(-21%)	(11) Dreamline Amelia 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Ballinrobe (9.7f, good, 40/1) 13 days ago. Yet to offer anything. 40-1 for handicap debut at Ballinrobe (1m1f, good) and ran accordingly; enough to prove.
12th	7 12th (7) (10/1 -25%) Poppadom	10 10/1(-25%)	(7) Poppadom 10/1, Creditable second here in May but below form sixth of 10 in handicap (6/1) at Down Royal (7f, good) 37 days ago. Place claims if able to bounce back. 11-race maiden but did go close in a 7f handicap here in May so hard to entirely dismiss.

With the form of his recent second over course and distance having been really well advertised by the winner, POPPADOM has to hold strong claims. The Andrew Slattery trained gelding pulled well clear of the remainder with a horse that has gone on to win his next two starts. As a son of a Cape Cross mare, stepping up to a mile for the first time in his career should also be a major positive. Newfire proved a bitter disappointment when well supported at Gowran Park last time but the Ray Cody-trained filly didn't enjoy the clearest of passages. She is better judged on her previous fourth placed effort at Sligo. Saffredi, who finished third at Bellewstown in mid-week, should be involved once again.

SAFFREDI has been knocking on the door of late and Gavin Cromwell's gelding can gain reward for several solid efforts. Dolce Far Niente wasn't at her best behind the selection at Bellewstown earlier in the week but remains of interest on the form her Ballinrobe second, with Gordon Elliott's Lightning Legs appealing as the type to improve now handicapping.

Gavin Cromwell's SAFFREDI is earning his keep with this his third start of the week and he has run well in all of them.

15:30 Limerick Handicap 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:05 Limerick Maiden 11f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
4	4 (4) (10/1 -25%) Dark Oak	10 10/1(-25%)	(4) Dark Oak 10/1, Thrice-raced filly. Second of 5 in maiden at Down Royal (12.8f, good, 4/1) 15 days ago. Progressed steadily to date and she should have even more to offer moving forward. Has improved her RPRs with each run and probably bumped into one at Down Royal.
1	1 (1) (15/2 -25%) Alfheim	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(1) Alfheim 15/2, Twice-raced filly. 25/1, showed more than on debut when fourth of 8 in maiden at the Curragh (10f, soft) 42 days ago, no extra last ½f. In good hands and she may do better still. Curragh fourth is working out well and can take another step forward over this longer trip.
9	9 (9) (50/1 -52%) Ms Messi	50 50/1(-52%)	(9) Ms Messi 50/1, Make Believe filly. 125/1 and hooded, seventh of 16 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good) on debut 21 days ago, running on. May do better. Positives to take from mid-division finish at Gowran when fitted in a hood (now absent).
1	8 1st (8) (4/1 +33%) La Vita Nova	4 4/1(+33%)	(8) La Vita Nova 4/1, Promising sort. 14/1 and tongue strap on, fourth of 11 in maiden at Navan (10.2f, good) on debut 29 days ago, best work finish. Looks sure to improve and she's one to consider stepping up in trip. Conceding experience to third-placed Declaree when close up behind that rival on her debut.
2	2 2nd (2) (17/2 -113%) Cancelled	8.5 17/2(-113%)	(2) Cancelled 17/2, Thrice-raced filly. Fourth of 5 in minor event at Gowran (9.4f, good, 3/1) 20 days ago. Previous exploits at Cork/Navan suggested she's up to winning a race of this nature and she's respected returned to this longer trip. 1m1f too sharp last time; had some of these behind the run before over 1m2f at Navan.
3	5 3rd (5) (7/2 +13%) Declaree	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(5) Declaree 7/2, Thrice-raced filly. 11/4 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 11 in maiden at Navan (10.2f, good) 29 days ago. Stable in good form. One to bear in mind. Consistent in three placed efforts and looks sure to be heavily involved once more.

Betting should guide on debut. Fourth foal; half-sister to useful winner Messidor (Graded stakes-placed 6f-1m; RPR 105).
5th	7 5th (7) (125/1 -150%) Ice Opera	125 125/1(-150%)	(7) Ice Opera 125/1, Once-raced filly. 100/1 and hooded, ninth of 12 in maiden at Ballinrobe (9.7f, good) on debut 13 days ago, held up and never involved. This should reveal more. Ninth of 12 when hooded at Ballinrobe (1m1f, good) and needed to show a lot more.
6th	3 6th (3) (13/8 +59%) Daboya	1.625 13/8(+59%)	(3) Daboya 13/8, Gleneagles filly. Improved on debut form when second of 16 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good) 21 days ago, every chance final 1f and no extra late on. Type to do better now stamina is drawn out further. Chased home a promising winner at Gowran and has the potential to improve some more.
7th	10 7th (10) (20/1 -100%) Opaque	20 20/1(-100%)	(10) Opaque 20/1, Thrice-raced filly. 10/1, tenth of 15 in maiden at Gowran (8f, good) 20 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Returning to further may help but she looks up against it on what she's achieved.
8th	13 8th (13) (33/1 -65%) Preparations	33 33/1(-65%)	(13) Preparations 33/1, Twice-raced filly. Fourth of 9 in maiden (80/1) at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) 75 days ago, fading final 100 yds. Ran better second time at Gowran (1m1f, soft) but others in here have achieved a lot more.
9th	12 9th (12) (10/1 +29%) Prairie Angel	10 10/1(+29%)	(12) Prairie Angel 10/1, Territories filly who ran to a similar level as on debut when seventh of 12 in maiden at Ballinrobe (9.7f, good) 13 days ago, running on late. Type to do better, particularly when tackling handicaps. Beaten in the region of 5l in 1m maidens at Dundalk and Ballinrobe; in good hands.
10th	6 10th (6) (50/1 +24%) Decorated Girl	50 50/1(+24%)	(6) Decorated Girl 50/1, €4,000 yearling, Decorated Knight filly. Half-sister to 7f-1¼m winner Dandy's Angel. Likely best watched on debut. 4,000euros yearling; fifth foal; half-sister to 7f-1m2f winner Dandy's Angel (RPR 71).
11th	11 11th (11) (150/1 -127%) Pare Of Brown Eyes	150 150/1(-127%)	(11) Pare Of Brown Eyes 150/1, Kuroshio filly. Half-sister to 11.4f winner Star Official. Thirteenth of 15 in maiden at Gowran (8f, good, 50/1) on debut 20 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Probably one for later on. Was 50-1 and beat just the two home in a 1m maiden at Gowran; now tongue tied.

The Willie McCreery trained CANCELLED can gain a deserved first career success. Runner-up on her racecourse debut at Cork in May, the filly occupied a similar position at Navan on her next outing. Only fourth of five at Gowran Park last time, dropping back in trip may well have been a factor. On the balance of her form, the daughter of Almanzor should take beating here. La Vita Nova, a staying on fourth in that aforementioned Navan maiden could get much closer now. Making her debut on that occasion, the Jessica Harrington-trained filly is entitled to be much sharper on this second run. Declaree, who was third in that same contest, also holds every chance in what has the makings of a competitive affair.

CANCELLED wasn't at her best on her most recent outing at Gowran yet her previous exploits suggested a race of this nature was well within reach, so she's given the narrow vote to get back on track returned to this long er trip. Daboya and Declaree head up the dangers with La Vita Nova and Dark Oak others who can get involved.

This looks open but it's interesting. The suggestion is ALFHEIM who held her own in a Curragh maiden that is working out well.

1	1 (1) (12/1 -33%) Forlio	12 12/1(-33%)	(1) Forlio 12/1, C&D winner in May. Below form tenth of 17 in handicap (7/1) at Tipperary (12.5f, soft) 39 days ago, slowly away. Not taken lightly. Won a C&D handicap but below form at Tipperary next time; questions on faster ground today.
3	3 (3) (14/1 +30%) Men Of Dreams	14 14/1(+30%)	(3) Men Of Dreams 14/1, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Pulled up in novice chase at Fairyhouse (16.2f, heavy, 125/1) on debut over fences 165 days ago. Off 165 days. Poor on last Flat outing. Maiden on the Flat after 21 starts; poor over fences when last seen and others preferred.
1	7 1st (7) (18/1 +28%) Barrogstown Girl	18 18/1(+28%)	(7) Barrogstown Girl 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 16 in maiden (250/1) at Gowran (8f, heavy) 60 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Improvement required on handicap debut. Well beaten in four maidens; needs to improve for this faster surface now in a handicap.
2	4 2nd (4) (3/1 +14%) Struck By Churchil	3 3/1(+14%)	(4) Struck By Churchil 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 9/2, creditable fifth of 15 in handicap at Tipperary (12.6f, good to firm) 4 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Beaten favourite in a Tipperary handicap four days ago; might be tighter after that run.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/1 +21%) Hopkins	11 11/1(+21%)	(6) Hopkins 11/1, 25/1, respectable eighth of 15 in handicap at Tipperary (12.6f, good to firm) 4 days ago. Others more appealing. Beaten 9l at Tipperary four days ago and has to do more off the same mark.
4	10 4th (10) (3/1 +54%) Just Another Eagle	3 3/1(+54%)	(10) Just Another Eagle 3/1, 10/1, good eighth of 22 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good to soft) 24 days ago, finishing with running left. Up in trip. Not out of things. Decent runs the last twice over shorter and has a squeak if staying this trip.
5th	2 5th (2) (7/2 -27%) Mayo For Sam	3.5 7/2(-27%)	(2) Mayo For Sam 7/2, Winner at Navan (10.2f) last month and only narrowly failed to add to that success in Ballinrobe handicap (13f, good) 13 days ago. Leading contender. In great form lately; this trip will suit and a big player even though up another 4lb.
6th	8 6th (8) (18/1 +45%) Thatboathassailed	18 18/1(+45%)	(8) Thatboathassailed 18/1, Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f, 28/1). Off 15 months. Worth monitoring in market on return. Not a bad effort at Dundalk when last seen but is likely to be rusty after long lay-off.
7th	11 7th (11) (13/2 +68%) So Diligent	6.5 13/2(+68%)	(11) So Diligent 13/2, 14/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Bellewstown (14.5f, good) 3 days ago. Down in trip. Visor on 1st time. Others preferred. Was runner-up over 1m2f at Sligo but was then well beaten twice since; visor tried.
8th	9 8th (9) (80/1 -60%) Easky Maid	80 80/1(-60%)	(9) Easky Maid 80/1, Tenth of 12 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16.4f, good, 200/1) 36 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Poor dual-purpose maiden is officially rated only 35 and can't be fancied; blinkers added.

A winner at Navan last month, MAYO FOR SAM was clear of the third when just denied over 1m5f at Ballinrobe on her most recent outing. The handicapper gave her another 4lb for that but coming back in trip may help and she likes to race handily which can be an advantage at this venue. Forlio returned from a lengthy absence to win over C&D in May on his first start in Ireland. Disappointing later that month at Tipperary, he should be capable of bouncing back to form. Just Another Eagle was placed for the first time at Gowran last month and shaped like he would appreciate this trip when making late headway at Leopardstown.

MAYO FOR SAM arrives at the top of her game and can return to winning ways. Struck By Churchil and Albatala rate the principal dangers.

Up another 4lb for her Ballinrobe second, MAYO FOR SAM (nap) stands out on current form and can win if repeating that effort.

17:15 Limerick Handicap 17f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
12	12 (12) (9/1 -29%) Sceptred Isle	9 9/1(-29%)	(12) Sceptred Isle 9/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. 28/1, improved on recent efforts to win 17-runner handicap at Tipperary (12.5f, soft) 39 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip. Very much one to consider. Tipperary winner; an 11lb rise seems a bit heavy-handed for beating a 15-race maiden.
4	4 (4) (22/1 -10%) Rocky Blue	22 22/1(-10%)	(4) Rocky Blue 22/1, 50/1, unseated rider 4 out over hurdles at Punchestown (19.2f, good) 28 days ago. Career best when winning on last Flat run so not ruled out. Useful under both codes but there are questions about his current wellbeing.
1	8 1st (8) (6/1 +0%) Curious Bride	6 6/1(+0%)	(8) Curious Bride 6/1, Twenty two runs since last win in 2020. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap (6/1) at Ballinrobe (13f, good) 13 days ago. Enters calculations. Was 2nd over C&D before outpaced over shorter at Ballinrobe; this race looks a better fit.
2	11 2nd (11) (17/2 -21%) Believe In Science	8.5 17/2(-21%)	(11) Believe In Science 17/2, Remains a maiden after 22 runs but posted a good fifth of 11 to Influential Lady in handicap at Gowran (14f, good) 20 days ago, nearest finish. Expected to be bang there now stepping up in trip. Is 0-22 but wasn't far off over 1m6f at Gowran latest and this longer trip is worth a go.
3	13 3rd (13) (8/1 +43%) Firm Belief	8 8/1(+43%)	(13) Firm Belief 8/1, Creditable 6 lengths fifth of 16 to Killeemore Lad in handicap (15/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 25 days ago. One for the shortlist. Going through the motions of late and others are more likely winners.
4	9 4th (9) (11/1 +45%) Influential Lady	11 11/1(+45%)	(9) Influential Lady 11/1, Winner at Gowran in June. 12/1, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Ballinrobe (13f, good) 13 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Possibilities. Slow starts have become a habit and she was only seventh at Ballinrobe 13 days ago.
5th	5 5th (5) (16/1 +36%) The Tide Turns	16 16/1(+36%)	(5) The Tide Turns 16/1, Twelfth of 13 in handicap (18/1) at Listowel (16.2f, good) 35 days ago. Others appeal more. Useful hurdler; has offered little in two staying handicaps back on the Flat.
6th	3 6th (3) (11/2 +31%) Barrier	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(3) Barrier 11/2, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Gowran in May. 16/1, creditable eighth of 17 in handicap at the Curragh (16f, good) 9 days ago, missing break. Needs considering. Can be slow to break and that cost her last time at the Curragh; has a big run in her.
7th	10 7th (10) (28/1 +44%) The Vegas Raider	28 28/1(+44%)	(10) The Vegas Raider 28/1, 25/1, creditable third of 16 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.3f, good to soft) 40 days ago. No forlorn hope back in this sphere. Last of three Flat wins for Michael Bell in 2021; low-grade handicap hurdler these days.
8th	1 8th (1) (3/1 +0%) Killeemore Lad	3 3/1(+0%)	(1) Killeemore Lad 3/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. 9/4, career best when winning 16-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 25 days ago by length from Curious Bride, eased down. Ought to be in the shake-up. Running well under both codes; hit with a 9lb rise for last win here but beat 15 rivals.
9th	2 9th (2) (18/1 -157%) Caradoc	18 18/1(-157%)	(2) Caradoc 18/1, 22/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, very good fourth of 14 in handicap at this course (12.5f, good) 15 days ago, running on. Significantly back up in trip. Not taken lightly. Stayed on over 1m4f here last time but has yet to convince over staying distances.
10th	6 10th (6) (16/1 +20%) Cerberus	16 16/1(+20%)	(6) Cerberus 16/1, 16/1, first run since leaving Augustine Leahy when 10¼ lengths seventh of 16 to Killeemore Lad in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 25 days ago. More is needed. Stuck on a losing run and has regressed; never been the strongest of finishers.
11th	14 11th (14) (28/1 +15%) Honketonk Angel	28 28/1(+15%)	(14) Honketonk Angel 28/1, Respectable 11 lengths tenth of 16 to Killeemore Lad in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 20/1) 25 days ago. Can't be discounted. A 2m winner on the AW late last year but doesn't look as effective on turf.
12th	7 12th (7) (100/1 -100%) Travel On	100 100/1(-100%)	(7) Travel On 100/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2019. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap (80/1) at Dundalk (16f). Off 16 months. Sole win in 2019; was in no form on the AW when last seen well over a year ago.

KILLEEMORE LAD has been in good form under both codes this year and recorded his first Flat win over C&D last month. He was value for more than the winning margin of a length and can follow up off a 9lb higher mark. Curious Bride chased home the selection in the aforementioned contest at this venue and has since run another solid race over 1m5f at ballinrobe. She'll appreciate the return to this trip and has the champion jockey's assistance this time. Influential Lady stays well over jumps and gained a first Flat win over 1m6f at Gowran two starts back. This stiff test of stamina will suit her.

Lots with chances. BELIEVE IN SCIENCE is taken to gain an overdue first success on the back of his good running-on Gowran fifth with the promise of more to come over this marathon distance. Curious Bride also arrives on a losing sequence but is weighted to have a say, while in-form pair Caradoc and Killeemore Lad command plenty of respect too.

Killeemore Lad has obvious claims but CURIOUS BRIDE is not without hope of reversing last month's C&D placings.

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.
