7/1
Failed to build on first two solid and consistent runs at the start of the season when finishing sixth of 12 beaten 16½L. Yard among the winners here in the last two days.

Finished 9¼L behind Mengli Khan at Navan in a 2m maiden hurdle in September before finishing second of 14 behind Early Doors. Winner of two of his five starts on heavy ground.
3
Horse silk
33/1
Beaten over 20L in both of his two maiden hurdles more recently at Navan earlier this month when tailed off in a Navan 2m contest. Others preferred.

Toulson71
Age: 4|  Weight: 11-7| J: A Ring(3)| T: C Byrnes
16/1
Promising 89-rated handicapper on the Flat for trainer Eve Johnson-Houghton running consistently in his last three starts. Market likely to reveal expectations.
5
Horse silk
33/1
Well beaten in his first two maiden hurdles both on this type of ground. Yards runners were out of luck yesterday and hard to see this one changing the luck.

Age: 4|  Weight: 11-2| J: I J McCarthy| T: N Lee
100/1
Well beaten 296L in two maiden hurdles last month sent of at 66/1 and 100/1. Well out of hid depth here in this company in first-tine tongue-tie.
7
Horse silk
80/1
First-time tongue-tie is unlikely to bring about the improvement needed to play a role here following a series of third-rate performances.
8
Horse silk
Great Trangob53
Age: 4|  Weight: 11-2| J: P E Corbett(3)| T: D H Kelly| OR:  114
3/1
Rock-solid and consistent without winning in a number of performances since August. Another bold show likely and deserves a change of luck under competent claimer having his only ride of the day.
9
Horse silk
Hyman Roth27
Age: 4|  Weight: 11-2| J: B R Dalton| T: D H Kelly
100/1
Detached from the field and subsequently tailed-off on debut when beaten 166L here at the beginning of the month. Others make more appeal.
10
Horse silk
50/1
Gelding by Brian Boru out of a Turtle Island mare related to the likes of Sub Lieutenant, Shotgun Paddy and Fox Appeal. Unlikely to take a hand in this company.
12
Horse silk
5/1
Winner of a point-to-point in April at Loughbrickland by 10L and comes here making his debut for inform yard who have saddled four winners in the last two days. Likely to be a warm order here.
Produced three modest bumper performances including last time out on return from a break at Navan earlier in the month. Plenty to find here on hurdling debut but should go better that a lot of these.
14
Horse silk
50/1
Flemensfirth gelding out of a Be My Native mare related to the likes of Tidal Bay, Imperial Commander and St Stephen's Day Market Rasen winner Kimberlite Candy. Looks to be one for the future.
15
Horse silk
100/1
Finished just one of his three point-to-point starts including on return from a break earlier this month. Tough ask on rules debut and others preferred.
16
Horse silk
66/1
Well beaten, no impression and tailed of in a bumper and two maiden hurdles in career. Looks a tall order on form shown.
17
Horse silk
Feisty Madam27
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-9| J: R T Dunne| T: S J Mahon
66/1
Ran out at 100/1 on hurdling debut here earlier in the month on soft ground following an inept bumper performance in October. Vast improvement needed here.
18
Horse silk
66/1
Hard to fancy on three career performances including two heavy maiden hurdle defeats including beaten 39L earlier in the month. Very little to be positive about.

12:35 Limerick - 28 December 2017 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

The early pace could possibly come from Toulson and Great Trango with Icario chasing behind the leaders. You can also expect to see NIVEN up there with the leader out of trouble in the early stages. The dual heavy ground winner could take some stopping here as he bids to win his first hurdle race in five. Interesting Point-to-point import Plan Of Attack and the consistent and solid Great Trango are the biggest dangers.
  1. Niven
  2. Plan Of Attack
  3. Great Trango
