Shar Whats Therusht40
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-10| J: P Townend| T: D Hassett| OR:  100
8/1
Has produced a number of dire efforts since winning a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle over 12-months ago. Others look open to more improvement.
2
Horse silk
Kansas Kidt62
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-9| J: G N Fox| T: P G Kelly| OR:  99
33/1
Well down the field in a series of gloomy efforts over hurdles since returning to the track following the best part of two years away. Needs to improve in this contest.

Horse silk
Ceatharlach424
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-7| J: Mr B O'Neill| T: C Bowe| OR:  97| BF
10/1
Point-to-point winner who has finished out of the frame in four maiden hurdle starts to date. Not seen on track for over 14-months but the Beneficial gelding is worth a market check on handicap debut.
4
Horse silk
Owl Creek Bridge22
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-4| J: C P McNamara(7)| T: E McNamara| OR:  94
9/2
Well beaten in three maiden hurdles runs to date and disappointed on handicap debut at Clonmel earlier this month. Left with something to prove.
6
Horse silk
Sizing Joshuab120
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-3| J: J S McGarvey| T: M F Morris| OR:  93
16/1
Seven race maiden without success in six starts over hurdles. First time blinkers unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.
7
Horse silk
Chapter Twob147
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-2| J: I J McCarthy| T: T F Shaw| OR:  92
16/1
Possibly needed the run on return to action in a Navan handicap hurdle last month finishing 30L adrift of the winner, Aasleagh Dawn. Place claims on second start back.
8
Horse silk
Simple Steps19
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-1| J: Mr J C Canavan(7)| T: R Tyner| OR:  91
8/1
101-rated chaser whose eighth of 20 beaten 23L at Cork earlier this month on first hurdle start in a while could have the Tikkanen mare spot on for this contest.
9
Horse silk
Our Native Landt1149
Age: 11|  Weight: 11-0| J: A J Flaherty(7)| T: B T Murphy| OR:  90
33/1
Showed some form back in 2012 but this veteran has shown nothing in three starts since return from a five year absence and cannot be recommended.
10
Horse silk
Olive D'Haguenett20
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-11| J: A W Short(3)| T: I Madden| OR:  87
10/1
Three-time French Flat winner has not converted that form in nine desolate hurdle starts since joining new connections. Others look more convincing at this level.
11
Horse silk
Beale Beach108
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-9| J: Katie O'Farrell(5)| T: P Neville| OR:  85
14/1
Running well in defeat when not disgraced in a couple of starts in the summer but has been struggling subsequently and is likely to find it tough going once again here.
12
Horse silk
Dont Tell Suellen82
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-9| J: C Brassil(5)| T: J J Hanlon| OR:  85
25/1
Seen in the point-to-point ranks recently following a number of grim maiden hurdle efforts earlier this year. Could find one or two better handicapped sorts lurking.
13
Horse silk
Lagenodp129
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-8| J: P T Enright| T: R Sweeney| OR:  84
12/1
11-race maiden, struggling overall since June. First time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.
14
Horse silk
Madaboy Cross10
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-8| J: K J Brouder(7)| T: T P O'Connor| OR:  84
9/2
Mare spent three years on the sidelines and there have been glimpses of promise since her return in August, the best of those came in a Naas handicap hurdle off a similar mark earlier this month. Entitled to make the shortlist.
15
Horse silk
Betterthanalright98
Age: 12|  Weight: 10-7| J: R C Colgan| T: L Casey| OR:  83
33/1
Placed over C&D in April finishing second of 12 beaten 20L off a similar mark. Holds strong place claims on return to hurdling.

It's A Long Story15
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-4| J: D F O'Regan| T: G Elliott| OR:  80
6/1
Without a win in 11 starts for Cumbrian trainer Barbara Butterworth. and finished well down the field on first start for the trainer in a Tramore handicap hurdle earlier this month. Improvement expected here.

The Bp133
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-4| J: R A Doyle(5)| T: W J Lanigan| OR:  80
22/1
Recently appeared in the point-to-point ranks and remains a six-race maiden hurdler. First time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of progression needed to land a blow here.
18
Horse silk
Glenmalure Lodget20
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-2| J: A Ring| T: P J Rothwell| OR:  82
33/1
Filly beaten wide margins in three maiden hurdles before being pulled-up when detached in a Navan contest on handicap debut earlier this month. Has a bit to prove at present.
19
Horse silk
Northern Emperorp,t22
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-4| J: Reserve 1| T: V T O'Brien| OR:  80
25/1
First Reserve: Produced a couple of encouraging runs when returning to the track in May at Limerick and Listowel, but not progressed in four starts since. Hard to fancy.

14:45 Limerick - 28 December 2018 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

SIMPLE STEPS is a 101-rated chaser whose eighth of 20 beaten 23L at Cork earlier this month on first hurdle start in a while could be the key to landing the spoils in this contest. The Colin Bowe-trained Ceatharlach and It's A Long Story appear cable of hitting the target, while Madaboy Cross can go well at a price.
