14/1
Four-race maiden over hurdles who has failed to build on a promising debut over timber in a Wexford maiden over 2m 12 months ago. First time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Horse silk
Highway Royal214
Age: 8|  Weight: 12-0| J: C Brassil(5)| T: S J Mahon| OR:  102
50/1
Winner of a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle but lightly raced and very little to be positive about in the last three years when beaten more than 20L in his last four starts.
4
Horse silk
Tiger Twenty Twot235
Age: 9|  Weight: 12-0| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| OR:  102
5/1
Finally off the mark over hurdles when bolting up by 9L at Gowran on second start for this yard but found out by the 16lb rise when only third at Downpatrick in October. Beaten since but worth a market check stepping up in trip.
5
Horse silk
Ard Na Carraigb,t125
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-13| J: B Browne(5)| T: O McKiernan| OR:  101
20/1
Yet to get off the mark over hurdles in 18 attempts with the Jeremy gelding encouragingly hitting the frame on eight occasions. Place claims at best.
6
Horse silk
Comporta123
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-13| J: B J Cooper| T: J J Hanlon| OR:  101
16/1
Six -race maiden over timber, the Iffraaj gelding was well held on latest start in February finishing a never nearer seventh of the 12 runners on soft ground over 2m. Will need to raise overall profile to play a role here.
7
Horse silk
Da Vinci Rock266
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-12| J: M J M O'Sullivan(7)| T: E M O'Sullivan| OR:  100
20/1
Plenty to like about a much improved effort at Cork over 2m3f on yielding ground in August but efforts since raise cause for concern. Below-par form set to continue.
8
Horse silk
Gutturalt207
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-12| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien| OR:  100
10/1
Some pieces of worthy form in maiden hurdles but well beaten on latest start at Wexford and when last seen in November in a Thurles 2m handicap on soft ground. Plenty more needed stepping up in trip.
9
Horse silk
Ocean Glandorep290
Age: 11|  Weight: 11-12| J: B Hayes| T: D Hogan| OR:  100| C
14/1
Winner of four of his 27 starts over hurdles with his last win coming in a Tipperary handicap over the larger obstacles in July. Current mark over timber puts the Whitmore's Conn gelding firmly in the mix here.
10
Horse silk
Hello Pilgrim301
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-11| J: S W Flanagan| T: C Bowe| OR:  99
10/1
Solid and consistent sort in a number of starts in bumpers and over timber between July and August last term. Winner of a Sligo maiden, the Touch Of Land mare can give a good account on return .
11
Horse silk
Mossy Whitep164
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-11| J: Mr J Hogan(7)| T: D Hogan| OR:  99| D
16/1
Well beaten in a couple of starts since getting off the mark at the seventh time of asking over hurdles for connections when landing a Thurles handicap in November off a 5lb lower mark. No surprise to see the Scorpion gelding get competitive.
12
Horse silk
Henry Sellers137
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-10| J: J G Gilligan(7)| T: P J Gilligan| OR:  98
33/1
Yet to hit the frame in six laboured starts over timber including a 28L reversal at Fairyhouse in January before a dismal effort over 2m at Thurles in February. Hard to recommend on evidence to hand.
13
Horse silk
Gone Galavanting112
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-9| J: J S McGarvey| T: P Roche| OR:  97
10/1
Struggling over fences in three starts since January, the daughter of Oscar is without a win in 10 starts over hurdles. Needs to improve on even his best form to play a role in this contest.
14
Horse silk
Twilight Girl127
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-8| J: K C Sexton| T: Peter Fahey| OR:  96
14/1
Craigsteel mare. Cost £12,000 following a May point-to-point win. Nothing to set the pulse racing in four starts over hurdles since her debut in December. Tough task ahead on handicap debut.
15
Horse silk
Ballybrowney Walk221
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-6| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: G Ahern| OR:  94
25/1
19-race maiden over both the larger obstacles and in four efforts over hurdles. Overall record casts doubt on her ability to get competitive in this company.
16
Horse silk
Eimearb1290
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-5| J: D P Maxwell(7)| T: M J Smith| OR:  93| BF
10/3
11-race maiden over hurdles, well beaten and no impression when last seen over 3m1f in September last year. First time blinkers unlikely to bring about the required amount of progression needed to land a blow here on stable debut.
17
Horse silk
Double Windsorb207
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-5| J: E Walsh(7)| T: D M O'Brien| OR:  93
25/1
First Reserve: 106-rated chaser over the larger obstacles the Windsor Knot gelding is just the one win over hurdles from 27 starts. Not ruled out but they are number of better handicapped sorts lurking.

18:45 Limerick - 22 June 2020 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A chance is taken with the Denis Hogan-trained MOSSY WHITE. The seven-year-old is racing 5lb higher than last winning mark following a win at Thurles in November but has a number of conditions to suit here as the Scorpion gelding attempts to get back to winning ways. The Colin Bowe-trained daughter of Touch Of Land, Hello Pilgrim can build on a win in a Sligo maiden hurdle in August and can give a good account once again along with the likes of Tiger Twenty Two for trainer Gordon Elliott, Ocean Glandore who ran well in defeat when last seen at Kilbeggan in September and Cloak Of Darkness for trainer Paul Nolan.
