15:00 David Fitzgerald Memorial Handicap Hurdle

Race preview

All three of his career wins have come at this track and YOUNG DEV might be able to add to his good record at Limerick having had a comeback spin at Listowel last month. He wasn't disgraced on that occasion and the six-year-old grey by Fracas is still open to a bit of improvement. Twice a winner over hurdles here on testing ground, conditions look in place for a big run. At the foot of the handicap, Drifting Back can give a good account having overcome a lay-off when staying on well to win a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe. Ballinaboola Steel is a really tough sort who's won three times in a busy spell since August but his latest hike in the ratings for winning at Listowel might prove too much. It's surprising that, for a horse of his ability, Agent Boru has managed only one win but there was money for him when running creditably last time at Punchestown and he might have come forward a nice bit for that first outing since last Christmas.
