It seems as though SCOIR MEAR is going places for leading connections and he is fancied to gain a third success of the season now. Cliff House is entitled to challenge on his November form here while Knockraha Pylon is another to relish this venue. Toon River and Moores Road were in good fettle at Limerick's Christmas meeting and will go well if in similar form now. 1. Scoir Mear 2. Cliff House 3. Knockraha Pylon
