Hurdle/bumper tracks - Yielding, changed to Good to Yielding after R1; Chase course - Good to Yielding, changed to Good after R5 View all races

Formscan By Shane Redmond - It is difficult to look beyond WITH NOLIMIT (6) who got the better of Cheltenham Festival bumper winner The Mourne Rambler to score at the Punchestown Festival at the end of April. He was also on the mark at Fairyhouse, also on yielding ground, on New Year's Day and is a most interesting recruit to the jumping game. If taking to his hurdles on his seasonal reappearance, he is likely to be far too strong for the Kilbeggan bumper winner Confidence Within who went on to finish third over hurdles at Listowel last month. Water Mill, a stable companion of With No Limit, was just ahead of Confidence Within in a point-to-point at Ballindenisk in May and he too might reach the frame, possibly ahead of Master Locksley who was fourth on his hurdling debut at Gowran Park.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on With Nolimit (FR)

To be fair he ran a good race in Cheltenham, he might have just done a little bit much. I probably gave Harry (Swan) the wrong instructions. We took our time with him a bit more today. All credit to Josh, he gave him a great ride. I’m delighted for Josh, he works in the yard and he works very hard. He’s a lovely fella, he’s from good stock. He’s with me now for a couple of years and got us a good few winners. He comes in every day and doesn’t say too much and doesn’t give out. He’s patient and I’m absolutely thrilled for him, to win a Grade One. It’s hard to get them.
