McGrath Limestone Works Handicap · 1m1f133y
Every runner. Every signal. One decision.
Third reserve; in the form of his life last June, notching three wins on the trot at 1m/1m1f following addition of visor/blinkers; yet to hit form in four attempts this term though.
Off the mark at Ballinrobe four days ago when he dug deep for a narrow success at the expense of the odds-on Majestic King who beat Can I Kiss You the run before; doesn't look obviously well in under a penalty and stall 14 isn't ideal, but must have a chance.
Well-bred Godolphin cast-off makes a quick reappearance after landing a touch over a mile at Gowran on Tuesday in ridiculously easy fashion, value for much more than the 3.5l winning margin; due for a hefty rise so connections' quick to bring him out again under mandatory 7lb penalty and will take all the beating if staying this longer trip (bred to).
Having a good time of it of late on the AW, recording a third win there last month off 55; balance of turf form is on decent ground so could struggle in these conditions.
Nice pedigree and beaten less than a length on handicap debut at Killarney in October (1m3f, soft); has kept on over shorter trips last twice and now steps back up in trip.
Limerick win last summer came over 7f (good); similar level of form hurdling (won Galway maiden), jumping has let him down of late; unproven over this far.
Yet to place in 14 starts but one of her better runs was over C&D last year and bit of encouragement last time at Ballinrobe, never a factor after being baulked from stalls but some late headway over 9.5f.
Has returned with a couple of good runs, staying on fourth over a mile at Gowran and stayed 1m2f trip well when only beaten a neck at Sligo early this month, having led inside final furlong; cheekpieces tried.
Maiden has yet to trouble the judge; blinkers tried and handicapper relenting but remains hard to fancy.
Back to form for third career win when landing Gowran handicap over slightly shorter last month (soft) off career-low mark (beating strong-finishing stablemate Khormor Syd); wants it soft, may not confirm that form now.
Twice placed for Paul Nolan in good-ground handicaps last June; best run so far for current yard when fourth over 9.5f at Ballinrobe, with four of these behind; unproven over this far, though.
Won a handicap hurdle at Thurles in March 2025; rated just 34 on the Flat and she's an unlikely winner; new headgear combination applied.
No win since scoring off 2lb higher at Naas (1m, yielding) over two years ago; promising seasonal comeback second at Navan in March (1m2f) but 1m4f looked beyond her at Limerick last month; back to probably her optimum trip.
Some promise in her maiden run at Cork last year, but nothing so far of note in handicaps; down 14lb from opening mark but still best watched on seasonal return.
Ran okay over 1m2f on handicap debut at Navan last October but twice well held over this trip after; always behind at Ballinrobe last time; cheekpieces swapped for visor.
Five wins, four of them on AW including 50-1 success under this rider in December; shaped like the run was needed at Ballinrobe last time; best form is over 10.5f, this trip stretches him
