Verdict

While it was a little disconcerting that LIMERICK LACE failed to find much under pressure when runner-up at Limerick last month, she nevertheless pulled clear of the rest and may well make it third time lucky over fences here. Irish Blaze made his chase debut in the same race, finishing an encouraging fourth, and with improvement likely he is nominated as the main danger ahead of stablemate Slige Dala. Chameron could also have a part to play granted a clean round of jumping.

  1. LIMERICK LACE (IRE)
  2. IRISH BLAZE (IRE)
  3. SLIGE DALA (IRE)
