David Tips History

MONSTROSITY is sure to improve for his run at Killarney, where he ran a decent third. It's great to see Ms Nina Carberry back in a saddle which is always a plus.

The Dilemma for trainer Miss Elizabeth Doyle was the race distance for EMMAS DILEMMA, who looked unable to sustain her effort at Kilbeggan. The return to 2 miles here looks the right choice.

BRISENGERE looks to be facing an uphill task but is still relatively lightly-raced where improvement is possible. Top jockey booked for an in-form trainer.

Despite being inconsistent, SOIR DE CHANTENAY has the ability to win a race like this. Trainer also in good form so is capable.

Making his chase debut, WITHOUT LIMITES looks the one to beat after running a creditable fifth at Gowran latest. The heavy conditions will also suit.

SOLEGLAD does need to improve considerably to feature here but overall is lightly raced with connections believing a respectable run is possible in a contest like this. Is running over his ideal distance here.

Making his handicap debut, CANNY TOM merits serious consideration. Put in his best effort so far when claiming a novice chase at Downpatrick latest. One to keep on side now.

Being a leading contender, HARDLINE will have to be just that to bounce back from a below form second at Downpatrick latest. He looked to be needing the run there so no excuses to be expected if he fails to win here.

AINT DUNNE YET needs to find more to feature here but can do after running a creditable fourth at Fairyhouse latest. Today's heavy conditions will suit.

High Grade performer BARRA is a obvious but worthy player to start the season off with a flourish. The Heavy conditions will not be a problem.

Trainer Noel Meade is in great form of late so PRINCESS LARA is definitely one to watch on course debut. Pedigree looks half-decent, costing current connections 20,000 Euros.

ROSERIVER HAS is open to improvement after running a decent third at Fairyhouse latest. Promising type who will enjoy today's heavy conditions.

Despite looking up against it, PASS THE BALL may find his ball in these yielding conditions. Has proven his ability over jumps so it's interesting to see connections throwing him in here (well could be just a fitness run for the upcoming season so be careful).

EX PATRIOT cannot be taken too lightly here, especially at these weights. Ran a creditable fourth in a hurdle race at Tipperary latest but returning to the flat here & making his handicap debut (flat) is very eye-catching,

Despite being off the course for 93 days, BURGUNDY BOY is still expected to be bang there. Has been lightly raced so remains with potential. May benefit the increase in trip.

ECOEYE does need to bounce back to form but did run best of those who ran prominently at Roscommon latest. Having jockey G P Halpin still aboard is a massive plus.

Despite carrying top weight, DROMBEG DREAM is improving with each run & looks to have every chance. She did take her time to get going at Cork latest but still got the job done.

OUR LEGEND does need to find quite a lot to feature here but can do coming out of a yard in form. Looks to be improving with each run so one to watch.

Trainer G M Lyons is having a good spell of late & SCREAM could be another one who should go well. Pedigree looks half-decent & did cost 40,000 euros (2-Y-O).

Drogheda United have lost 5 on a bounce & Limerick have not lost to Drogheda in 8 head-2-head encounters. The away side have also not kept a clean sheet in their last 7.
