Limerick Race 6

Limerick Races On Instagram Handicap Chase

Prize Money: $21,217

BIRDSANDTHEBEES (6) ran well two outings back on Boxing Day when 3.5L second in a 3600m handicap chase here. Ticks plenty of boxes. Leading chance. THREE IN A ROW (2) won this time last year a Naas handicap hurdle. Arrives unexposed with fences finding something easier on third chase outing. May improve further. Likely player. JUNOT (10) was not disgraced among similar company running sixth in a 3800m handicap chase at Wexford. Holds claims. GABRIEL RANGER (1) shaped with credit recording a fifth contesting a 4200m Thurles beginners chase. Might feature.
