Age: 6|  Weight: 11-12| J: K Brogan(7)| T: G Elliott| OR:  118
6/1
Yet to break his handicap duck in five starts since winning his maiden in August. Second of eight at Clonmel on latest start and first-time cheekpieces likely to assist.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-8| J: K J Brouder(5)| T: S J Mahon| OR:  114
25/1
Failed to land a hat-trick of wins in a Sligo handicap hurdle last August where he finished second of 10 behind Pass The Ball when in the care of trainer Noel Meade. Last of eight on return to action earlier this month and plenty to prove.

Court Tycoon152
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-6| J: K C Sexton| T: Peter Fahey| OR:  112
11/1
Given a break following a run of consistent efforts came to an end in a Leopardstown novice handicap hurdle in December. Clearly better than that run suggests and worth a check i n the market.

Horse silk
Aasleagh Dawnp40
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-5| J: S W Flanagan| T: G P Cromwell| OR:  111
6/1
Winner of two of her 14 hurdle starts the latest coming in a Navan handicap in November off a 7lb lower mark. Generally well held in five starts since and handicapper really needs to relent before consideration.
5
Horse silk
On Call20
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-5| J: S A Shortall| T: J P O'Brien| OR:  111| BF
8/1
Beaten favourite when finishing fourth of nine beaten 3¾L in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle earlier this month. Could be a leading player on handicap debut.

Age: 8|  Weight: 11-5| J: P E Corbett| T: Mrs D A Love| OR:  111| C| D
10/1
Winner of one of her 12 starts over hurdles and slowly coming back down to her last winning mark. Course winner and can be a major player if returning to previous efforts.
8
Horse silk
Shetland Bust38
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-3| J: B J Cooper| T: P Nolan| OR:  109| D
14/1
Point-to-point winner 12 months ago, yet to get off the mark under rules including three maiden hurdle defeats. Pulled up on latest start at Cork last month and has a bit to prove on handicap debut.

Lessofdnegativity19
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-2| J: D J O'Keeffe(7)| T: A J McNamara| OR:  108
10/1
Failed to build on a promising effort over a similar trip at Cork earlier month finishing fifth of 11 beaten 38L. Market likely to reveal expectations on handicap debut.

Horse silk
Brogine3(ex 4)
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-12| J: C A Landers(5)| T: S Braddish| OR:  100
6/4
Landed her second hurdle win in 16 starts winning a Ballinrobe handicap over 2m4½f on Monday off a 4lb lower mark. That win followed a 305-day break and bounce factor has to be a concern.

Horse silk
It'll Do Rightly14
Age: 11|  Weight: 10-12| J: A W Short(5)| T: Caroline Mccaldin| OR:  104| D
25/1
Infrequent visits to the track make it difficult to assess the novice hurdle winner at Catterick back in December 2017. Pulled up on handicap debut at Perth on latest start earlier this month. Hard to place any faith in.

Horse silk
Bridies Boy105
Age: 11|  Weight: 10-7| J: P T Enright| T: J J Walsh| OR:  99| D
33/1
One from 13 over hurdles and running 14lb below last winning mark. Well beaten and never nearer on latest start at Clonmel in February and difficult to see the veteran improving at his age.

18:35 Limerick - 30 May 2019 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Strong case for the bounce factor having an effect on the chances of ready Ballinrobe winner Brogine, so it may pay to follow the Sean Aherne-trained, ASK AND ANSWER. The 2L winner at Tipperary recently can get the better of Peter Fahey's Court Tycoon, Presentingprincess and You Can't Catch Me for trainer Kieran Purcell.
