18:20 Limerick — Irish Wire Products Ltd Handicap Hurdle (Div II) model predictions

Evelyn (IRE)

0%

Has made the frame on her two most recent starts in maidens; likely to be competitive here if running to a similar level of form.

Marian Avenue (IRE)

0%

Beaten only a neck by odds-on chance Spanish Maid over 2m at Punchestown 15 days ago; 5l clear of the third then, 5lb extra may not stop him; good ground seems to have sparked his improvement.

Coup d'Essay

0%

No impact in maidens; seems a bit high in the ratings on the evidence of handicap runs here and at Kilbeggan.

Friar Hogan (IRE)

0%

Still early days but his chance is not obvious based on his first two handicap attempts at Thurles and Sligo.

Hidalgo Des Mottes (FR)

0%

Frustrating sort, placed in seven of his 21 starts over hurdles; risky and probably just a place chance at best; has had a run on the Flat since a well beaten fifth over hurdles at Kilbeggan last month.

Jetovango (IRE)

0%

Placed twice in points; fair fourth at Lisronagh last month, but pulled up at Tattersalls Farm on Sunday; blinkered for the first time.

Georginas Jet (IRE)

0%

Could feature in this grade if recapturing the solid form she showed last August; however, plenty to prove on account of failures to complete on final start last year and on return last month.

Getaway Henry (IRE)

0%

Shock winner at Wexford in 2024; best effort last season when runner-up at Thurles in October; best form has been over shorter than this.

Calm Flight Ahead (IRE)

0%

Weak form in maidens; no apparent chance unless cheekpieces make a big difference.

Go Avel (IRE)

0%

Off for a year before her recent Sligo outing; nothing in her form to encourage support.

Celtic Crossing

0%

Was entitled to need her comeback run at Sligo after a long absence; one fair run when fifth at Roscommon in 2024; otherwise little of note in her form.

Tantrum Boy (IRE)

0%

Beaten long distances at huge odds in maidens; 25-1 when towards the back on handicap debut at Clonmel; cheekpieces fitted now.

Granlahan (IRE)

0%

Little sign of ability in maidens; has time on his side and this longer trip may help to produce improvement.

Hob's Angel (IRE)

0%

10yo mare; opened her hurdles account at Clonmel two weeks ago at the 16th attempt; 6lb higher, possibly vulnerable to younger rivals.

Loulouless (FR)

0%

20-1 when finishing in mid-division at Clonmel two weeks ago; others much preferred.

Backinabit (IRE)

0%

Ran well at Roscommon in September after a layoff; flopped when favourite at Wexford when well fancied; tailed off on final start; has changed stable; worth a market check.

Getaway Blondie

0%

Very weak form in previous years; prominent for a long way on stable debut at Bellewstown.

Not So Serious (IRE)

0%

Weak maiden hurdle form; not a big price for two bumper starts last August when trained by Andy Slattery; reserve.
