Limerick Race Fields - 25th Nov 2023

Nothing has more gilt-edged claims that DROMBEG TEN (trap 3) all meeting and he is the one to beat and it's doubtful any of these will be up to doing so. Barefoot Awesome (trap 1) remains unexposed round here, so any market moves should be heeded. Market confidence can often centre around Portdrine Magic (trap 2) and he isn't out of it by a long chalk.

CLONBRIEN TREATY (trap 6) doesn't represent a 'get rich quick' opportunity given the expected odds, but as far as the likely winner of this, look no further. The main danger is Swords Rex (trap 3), who won't throw the towel in if getting into the race before half way. Sober Glory (trap 2) may set his sights on top prize but it could well prove wishful thinking.

The odds on reward for BALLINAKILL ALF (trap 4) could appear on the mean side, but it is probably with good reason as he looks to hold a great chance. If Burgess Jack (trap 1) ran up to his best he would probably get the job done, so he is rightly feared. Road Exile (trap 3) should have the measure of a few of these so merits inclusion.

The hopes are sky-high so far as UNDISPUTED (trap 4) is concerned and it should be a case of 'go get 'em sunshine' with normal fortune in running. Bobsleigh Dream (trap 5) enjoyed a victory parade latest even though found her passage hindered. Azurite (trap 1) will be hunting out a medal at the death and could earn one.

The task ahead of BENS TEDDY (trap 1) today looks very makeable and, as such, the bookies are unlikely to be very flamboyant with their chalk. Blackstone Lacey (trap 3) has to be feared and could capitalise if the selection messes things up. Gaytime Hugo (trap 5) makes a fair bit of appeal donning the orange vest.

There's a good few punters that like getting stuck into a short one and CLONBRIEN OLLIE (trap 6) fits the bill as one of those with standout chances today. Glengar Brett (trap 5) will be aiming for gold but the selection may have something to say about that. Cnoc Bandit (trap 4) is in with a shout of making the placings under these conditions.

There may be no life-changing odds around for NOMADIC NOVA (trap 1) today, but he looks to hold all the aces in this contest and can get the job done. The selection will have a fair bit to fear from Clonroosk Sydney (trap 4), who is capable of getting in the mix. Sogna In Grande (trap 6) has a decent draw to work from and he should be thereabouts if using it fully.

The demand surrounding LURRIGA LADY (trap 1) is expected to outweigh the supply, hence her odds will be on the short side, but she should score.

The bookmakers will expect to see some money for MACBALLY ANTON (trap 3) again as he looks to have stumbled across a winning opportunity. Ballygur Bale (trap 5) would be handful to the selection and a few others if getting a fairly good start.
