Bay Hill appears to hold all the aces in the Fexco Asset Finance Handicap Hurdle at Limerick on Friday.
Padraig Roche’s charge has won two of his last five outings, including when triumphing under Liam Gilligan at Thurles at the beginning of November.
The 7lb claimer will be aboard again as he takes on 11 rivals, headed by the returning Gagas Horse, in this two-mile feature.
Cairnhill is another who arrives on the crest of a wave for the Annual Membership Only 120euros At Limerick Racecourse Rated Novice Hurdle, having run out a 16-length victor on his most recent start.
However, Liz Doyle’s charge faces some useful rivals including A Place Apart and Leap Dearg. Whatsinthecorner looks a likely favourite in the Mr Binman Christmas Racing Festival 26th-29th December (Q.R.) Handicap Hurdle after winning and twice placing second in his three latest runs.
Gordon Elliott’s Empire Burleque has run up against some classy rivals on his two outings over obstacles to date and should appreciate an easier task in the Adare Manor Opportunity Maiden Hurdle.
Elliott also has a decent chance in the opening Book Online At www.limerickraces.ie Maiden Hurdle, where Cara’s Way makes a swift return after finishing fifth last weekend.
