Limerick Racecourse Vets Mares Beginners Chase

Off time: 13:00 | Winning time: 5m 8.10s

Creation⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr B O'Neill| T: H De Bromhead

7/1

Thought highly enough of to contest a Grade 3 contest at Cork last month when finishing a not disgraced fourth of eight. Yard in fine form right now and looks a leading player.

Form: P62-434

Killisk Ben Rose³²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: A McCurtin⁽³⁾| T: R P Rath

100/1

Modest returns in a couple of point-to-point and bumpers starts before pulling-up when well behind on chasing debut in June. Plenty to prove in this.

Form: 22-

Lackaneen Leader²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: D F O'Regan| T: G Elliott| C| D

8/1

Grade 3 winning novice hurdler who has a Grade 1 runner-up position to her name over timber. Likely to come on for chasing debut at Cork earlier this month finishing seventh of 10 in a Grade 3 contest.

Form: 112P-47

Manger Et Trotter³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: D J McInerney⁽³⁾| T: E Bolger| D

14/1

Third of nine beaten 15L behind Mengli Khan at Punchestown last month on her third career chase start. Could be capable of having her say here.

Form: 510-703

Minnies Secret^p²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: K J Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: C Byrnes| OR: 123| C

12/1

Struggled in a number of starts over the larger obstacles since October. Even her best form would leave the mare short of what is required.

Form: 542075

Miss Titanic³⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: A Ring| T: R K Watson

150/1

Has failed to finish both career point-to-point starts and there is very little to be positive about for the Getaway mare on debut here.

Form: PP-

Moyhenna²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: D G Hogan| T: D Hogan

5/4

Useful 130-rated hurdler who can be expected to improve on a promising second of 10 beaten 6L on chasing debut in a Grade 3 contest at Cork earlier this month.

Form: 11245-2

Peterstown²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Danny Mullins| T: T Gibney

80/1

Daughter Subtle Power out of a Phardante mare. Not disgraced in a couple of point-to-point starts and best watched on chasing debut.

Form: 3-7

Polar Present^p⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Donagh Meyler| T: S Fahey| OR: 119| CD

33/1

Course winner that has also won over the trip. Beaten over 14L on her most recent start at Thurles on Saturday and holds strong place claims.

Form: F225F4

Pravalaguna²³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| BF| D

11/4

Distance winner who disappointed as beaten favourite when last seen in a Killarney beginners contest in May. 138-rated hurdler and should make her presence felt.

Form: F4P41-4

Wings Like Arion^p³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: J S McGarvey| T: Mrs J Harrington

50/1

Modest 110-rated hurdler who struggled on chasing debut at Down Royal on St Stephens day. Worth a check in the market on quick turnaround.

Form: 116P-09

Grey Waters⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: R P Treacy⁽³⁾| T: J P O'Brien

20/1

Game 120-rated hurdler whose career best came in a Grade 1 contest at Leopardstown in February. Promising run on return to action last month and would not have to improve much to hit the frame on chasing introduction.

Form: 11543-4

Forecasts

Moyhenna (5/4), Pravalaguna (11/4), Creation (7/1), Lackaneen Leader (8/1), Minnies Secret (12/1), Manger Et Trotter (14/1), Grey Waters (20/1), Polar Present (33/1), Wings Like Arion (50/1), Peterstown (80/1), Killisk Ben Rose (100/1), Miss Titanic (150/1)

Back in a beginners chase following her dalliance with Graded opposition, CREATION can land the spoils here for Gigginstown House Stud and trainer Henry De Bromhead. Daughter of Westerner, Moyhenna ran well in defeat in the Grade 3 Mares novice chase at Cork earlier in the month and can emerge as the biggest danger, while Lackaneen Leader, Pravalaguna and Wing Like Arion can battle for the minor honours.
