Forecasts

Royal Reprobate (15/8), Apologise (9/2), Gimme A Buzz (6/1), Aboy Joey (7/1), The Dawn (8/1), Snow Punt (8/1), Go Gill Go (16/1), Robindevidastar (18/1), Tubberfinn Lady (20/1), Thats All (25/1), Big Dispute (28/1), I Dont Lie (66/1), Let Him B (80/1), Internet Biddy (150/1)

The form of the Limerick handicap in which SNOW PUNT chased home Apologise over Christmas has been boosted on a few occasions. The former is 4 lb better off with his old rival for a ½-length beating so looks weighted to turn the tables. Robindevidastar also arrives at the top of his game, while Gimme A Buzz and Royal Reprobate have unexposed potential in what has the look of a warm handicap.,
