Limerick 16:30 Odds Comparison

Produced comfortably his best effort to date when 33/1, third of 11 at Clonmel (performance can be marked up) and shaped as if still in good form when brought down (keeping on with plenty to do) there last time. High on the shortlist.

Lightly-raced maiden who went close to getting off the mark at Naas and largely backed up that effort when third of 15 here last time. Possibilities over a slightly shorter trip with first-time cheekpieces applied.

Has proved a different proposition since handicapping, shaping well from a less-than-ideal position when third of 22 at Cork latest, and he's fancied to open his account back over a slightly longer trip.

Front runner got off the mark when seeing out her race well at Punchestown in February and with that form working out well, she needs considering despite an 8 lb rise.

Showed improved form when (33/1) fifth of 13 on handicap debut at Clonmel (2m) and he's a player, with the step back up in trip expected to be in his favour.

Successful at Gowran in October and took a step back in right direction when fifth of 13 at Limerick (2m) last time. Will be suited by the step back up in trip and could be in the mix.

Improved for switch to positive tactics when third at Fairyhouse and shaped better than the result when fifth of 15 back over hurdles here last time. Return to slightly shorter a sensible move on that evidence, too.

Solid third at this course earlier in the season but needs to bounce back following a break, having finished below form fifth of 12 here in early-February.

Much improved when third at Gowran earlier in the season, and while he didn't back that up at Fairyhouse in December, he's not discounted returning from a break with a tongue strap refitted.

Faced a tall order when (50/1) fifth of 7 in a Cork maiden in January, though his record in handicaps is hardly inspiring.

Plenty of creditable placed form in handicaps in 2023, though unsurprisingly shaped as if needing the run after 27 months off here last time.

Runner-up sole start in points and having shown a bit at long odds in maidens, fared no better switched to a handicap here (12/1) last time.

Stepped up on his maiden form when third on handicap bow here prior to finding 3m too much at Clonmel in late-February. High hopes he can bounce back tackling a more suitable test in first-time cheekpieces.

Inconsistent sort ran better than on his previous start, despite the run of the race being against him, when seventh of 16 in a handicap at Clonmel last time.

Has shown little at long odds in maidens and as such, starts life in handicaps from a lowly base.

Veteran has been pulled up on each of his 3 starts since winning at Clonmel in January.

Has shown nothing in maidens and hard to be confident on handicap hurdle debut.
