Race preview
LIMERICK LACE hails from a family that has served connections well and having won her bumper nicely on testing ground, she took to hurdles well last season, winning a Punchestown maiden. She may prove even better over fences having caught the eye when staying on behind Hollow Games on her reappearance at Navan. Broomfields Jeremy won three times over hurdles on varying ground conditions and the pick of his form since sent chasing this term was a third to Barnacullia at Galway. Jody Ted also paid his way over hurdles and, following a lengthy lay-off, was left clear two out to score on his first completed start over fences at Clonmel. Drumbear won twice over hurdles last season, including on soft ground at Musselburgh, and has the size to do well over fences.
