Inchidaly Copper (11/4), Nuttorridge (4/1), Light Heidi (4/1), Porky Rush (9/2), Sittingonthefence (9/1), Y Fyn Duw A Fydd (9/1), Tick Along (10/1), Breagagh (11/1), Maura Jeanne (14/1), Montel Glory (16/1), Miss Louise (16/1), Caridadi (16/1), Townhill Penny (20/1), Katlaur (20/1), Derry Sky (40/1), A Dublin Job (40/1), Perfect Arch (50/1), Nicola's Fancy (150/1)

LIGHT HEIDI is going the right way and a 7 lb rise for Limerick may not be enough to prevent the follow up on her first start for a new yard. Y Fyn Duw A Fydd and Inchidaly Copper are a couple of others to consider.
