2	3 2nd (3) (1/1 +43%) Jade De Grugy		1 1/1(+43%)																															(3) Jade De Grugy 1/1, Winner of two Grade 1s; well below form on debut over fences when 16l third in a beginners chase' at Cork most recent run; effective 2m2f-2m5f, acts on Hy, GS; high-class hurdler surely capable of better and yard has won 3 of last 4 runnings of this race. Grade 1-winning hurdler was soundly beaten on chase bow but can improve plenty from that.
3	6 3rd (6) (12/1 +0%) Uhavemeinstitches		12 12/1(+0%)																															(6) Uhavemeinstitches 12/1, Travelled well and improved from her debut when second, beaten 1 1/4l in a handicap chase at Fairyhouse last time; effective at 2m4f, acts on soft and good ground, and looks progressive over fences. Won a Wexford beginners' and second in a Fairyhouse h'cap; plenty to find today.
4	1 4th (1) (6/1 +25%) Farfromnowhere		6 6/1(+25%)																															(1) Farfromnowhere 6/1, Ran to form on chase debut when second beaten 9 1/2l in a beginners' chase at Cork latest; effective 2m1f-2m5f, acts on yielding to soft, good; likely has more to offer. Dual hurdle winner including here; solid 2nd to a subsequent Grade 2 winner on chase bow.
5th	2 5th (2) (100/1 -52%) Honey Come Quick		100 100/1(-52%)																															(2) Honey Come Quick 100/1, Improved when winning a Mares' point at Ballindenisk by 24l last time; stays 3m in points and acts on soft and yielding ground; has potential but faces a tough starting point under rules. Won two points this term but this is an ambitious tilt on rules debut.
6th	7 6th (7) (250/1 -150%) Whatcouldhavebeen		250 250/1(-150%)																															(7) Whatcouldhavebeen 250/1, Below form when comfortably held in a beginners' chase at Cork last time; effective from 2m4f to 3m, handles ground with cut, but faces a stiff task at this level.

7th	4 7th (4) (100/1 -150%) Littlebiggie		100 100/1(-150%)																															(4) Littlebiggie 100/1, Too keen and not knocked about over an inadequate trip when 12l third in a Mares' chase at Clonmel last time; returns from a short break, effective between 2m and 2m7f, handles soft and good ground; return to further helps but this looks a tough task. Beginners' chase winner ran well at Clonmel last time but has a lot to find in this grade.

13:27 Limerick (Class 1) 22f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Last season's Albert Bartlett runner-up THE BIG WESTERNER shaped with encouragement on her second-placed chase bow behind Coral Cup hero Jimmy Du Seuil at Fairyhouse last month. The six-year-old should appreciate this step up in distance and she holds obvious claims. Farfromnowhere wasn't disgraced on her first attempt over fences when filling the runner-up spot at Cork, but it is too soon to be writing off reopposing third Jade De Grugy, a dual Grade 1 winner over timber, and she's feared most.

A Grade 2 hurdle winner on this card last year, THE BIG WESTERNER(nap) made a solid start to fences and can take this.

Although STORM HEART hasn't been the easiest to train, he clearly possesses plenty of ability. A reproduction of his runner-up effort in a Listed handicap hurdle at Leopardstown in February is likely to prove too strong for these rivals and a second victory over timber may beckon. Riskaway impressed when making a winning start over the smaller obstacles at Thurles and he can keep the selection honest, along with Parnell Street.

Though he hasn't run since finishing second in a valuable handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival, STORM HEART looks too strong

Effective from 2m5f to 3m1f and acts on soft to heavy or yielding ground; interesting back over hurdles. Been running fair races over fences and couldn't rule him out on ground he'll handle.

Off a short break; effective from 2m2f to 2m6f on good ground and currently in form. Won under Jody Townend at Listowel (2m2f, good to yielding); testing ground won't be ideal.
7th	9 7th (9) (5/1 +17%) Rowdy		5 5/1(+17%)																															(9) Rowdy 5/1, Outpaced, rallied, returned to form and looked thorough stayer beaten a neck off a 4lb lower mark at Cork last time; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on any; could build on latest.

9th	8 9th (8) (25/1 -317%) Chosen Diamond		25 25/1(-317%)																															(8) Chosen Diamond 25/1, Outpaced and needed the run when well beaten in a handicap chase at Fairyhouse last time. Effective around 2m4f and suited by cut; should come on for that outing, and the return to hurdles looks a plus. Good form over 2m4f on heavy ground in the spring; sharper for last month's return.
10th	4 10th (4) (28/1 -75%) Coded Welder		28 28/1(-75%)																															(4) Coded Welder 28/1, Well below form when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Navan most recently. Effective from 2m4f to 2m7f and acts on good to yielding ground; could bounce back now handicapping. Placed in maidens on nice ground during the summer, with form up to 3m; handicap debut.

TORPS deserves to get his head in front for the first time after a recent run of placed efforts and, with Emily Costello claiming 4lb from the saddle, the five-year-old has every chance. Midweek Voices won twice last season over fences at Punchestown and Gowran Park and has a handicap mark 10lb lower over the smaller obstacles suggesting he can go well with a recent pipe-opener under his belt. He could get the better of Cork runner-up Rowdy in the race for second.

The step up in trip to 2m4f may well suit TORPS and he can make a winning start in handicap company; Cork second Rowdy can contend

Stayed on well to make the frame at Naas in mid-December; could go well if doesn't bounce.

Wears a tongue-tie for the first time; effective over 2m4f and could come on for that run despite inconsistency. Respectable run on handicap debut at Cork, not quite getting home over 2m4f.
3	8 3rd (8) (11/1 -83%) Big Dee		11 11/1(-83%)																															(8) Big Dee 11/1, Below form when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Cork last time.

Effective at 2m with some cut; could do better now handicapping. Has run well to a point in his last couple of maidens and should come on from Navan outing.

Effective at 2m on good ground but currently out of form. Maiden runs were respectable but has struggled in handicaps; needs to up her game.
7th	11 7th (11) (15/2 -25%) Marelly		7.5 15/2(-25%)																															(11) Marelly 15/2, Made his move too soon off a strong pace and finished down the field in a handicap hurdle at Naas last time.

Absent for a long spell; effective from 2m to 2m4f on a sound surface, but wellbeing needs to be proven. Good fourth at Galway festival in 2023 but not seen since, ground will be against him too.
10th	15 10th (15) (11/1 -22%) She's On Line		11 11/1(-22%)																															(15) She's On Line 11/1, Made mistakes and may have found the ground too testing when well beaten in a handicap hurdle here last time.

11th	1 11th (1) (25/1 -150%) Gwan Tadhg		25 25/1(-150%)																															(1) Gwan Tadhg 25/1, Probably needed the race when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time. Returns from a long absence, effective at 2m with cut, and may need this outing. Won three times for the late Edward O'Grady; been off over a year, testing ground a worry.
12th	7 12th (7) (9/2 +44%) Wardens Whisper		4.5 9/2(+44%)																															(7) Wardens Whisper 9/2, Ran to form when 10l third in a handicap hurdle at Cork last time.

GWAN TADHG returns from a lengthy absence but if repeating the level of his Tramore third in May 2024, he has every chance off 1lb lower. Trebizond won twice in 2023 and is one to watch on his first start since August the same year, while Naas fourth King Kali is another to consider. Others to note are Peaceinthevalley and Wardens Whisper.

Having shown promise in a Down Royal maiden, RACKEMANDSTACKEM, who represents a resurgent stable, is chosen to score on handicap debut

RIVER VALE won nicely at Naas last time on his return to 2m. He has a 7lb hike to contend with, but there could be more to come over this distance and the underfoot conditions remain in his favour. Harry's Dream is less certain to appreciate the testing going after scoring on better ground at Thurles last month. The latter could still have a say in proceedings, while Clonmel fourth Sheriffhill makes most appeal of the rest.

A decisive winner on testing ground at Naas last time, RIVER VALE may be able to follow up off a 7lb 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.
