Limerick

Likeable, straightforward mare. Things didn't go to plan after fairly useful success in 2m mares listed novice hurdle at Thurles (good to soft) last December. Interesting chasing debutant.

Expensive point recruit (1-1) who landed bumper/maiden hurdle victories prior to winning a Punchestown listed race (19f) in December. Didn't shape at all badly in the Dawn Run and wouldn't be the first to disappoint at Punchestown Festival subsequently. Intriguing switched to fences by top yard.

Won sole start in points. Fairly useful bumper/hurdle winner under Rules. Similar form when runner-up 3 completed starts over fences, most recently to a useful stablemate at Tramore in August. May go one better with experience on her side.

Fairly useful hurdler who wasn't entirely straightforward for Peter Fahey. Probably would have won a 4-runner Grade 3 chase at Roscommon barring a calamitous late error last time. Still early days over fences/under care of top yard and clearly capable if putting it all together.

Point/bumper winner. Progressive in handicap hurdles last year. Chased home an impressive chasing debutant at Ballinrobe (3m) second time up over fences. Cheekpieces go on following a forgivable subsequent effort at Sligo, but Paul Townend again looks elsewhere.
