Limerick Race 4

Goggin Buckley Hurdle

Prize Money: $25,830

KILCRUIT (3) won the G1 Punchestown Champion jumpers flat race back in 2021. Has not followed up in his career since. Now back over hurdles in open company and may get back to winning ways. Leading contender. JALIA MORIVIERE (5) makes her Irish debut for leading connections. A definite threat to her elder stablemate. JIGORO (1) transfers back to hurdles after placing 6.5L second tackling fences for the first time at Thurles. Interesting. KARL DES TOURELLES (2) went close last time out in a Punchestown handicap hurdle placing 0.5L second. Warrants consideration. Something for the Multiples: JALILA MORIVIERE (5)
