Our View on the Limerick Card

Three races worth a view, scored on market position, official ratings, recent form and yard form. Our reasoning is shown so you can disagree with it.

1:10 Follow Us on Instagram Maiden Hurdle

Mailloche is the strongest case on the card at 1/9. Recent form reads well against these. In a 19-runner field, take the each-way terms seriously.

Slade Harbour makes more sense each-way at 1/9. Recent form reads well against these. In a 19-runner field, take the each-way terms seriously.

1:45 #Thisisracing Maiden Hurdle

Lyrical Park is the strongest case on the card at 1/9. Recent form reads well against these. In a 20-runner field, take the each-way terms seriously.

Big Boy Dan makes more sense each-way at 1/9. In a 20-runner field, take the each-way terms seriously.

2:20 Irish Stallion Farms EBF Cailin Alainn Mares Hurdle

Majestic Force is the strongest case on the card at 1/9. The yard is in form, and that tends to matter more than any single line of form.

Millstream Lady makes more sense each-way at 14/5. Recent form reads well against these.
