Preview limerick 17th Jun

Try Again continues his rise through the ranks in the Patrickswell Handicap at Limerick on Saturday night.

Since breaking his duck at the 11th attempt at Dundalk in January off a mark of 48, Paul Flynn's four-year-old hasn't looked back, following up twice at the all-weather venue before going close on his return to turf at Leopardstown and then making a successful raid on Hamilton last month.

He must now compete off a figure of 72 and takes on a different calibre of opponent that includes Snoozing Indian, who shared the spoils at Leopardstown just over a week ago.

Jim Bolger has freshened Fountain up since his pleasing comeback second at the Foxrock venue, while handicap debutant Madame Cherie lurks dangerously near the foot of the weights on her handicap debut for Jessica Harrington.

Bolger backs Modern Approach up just seven days on from her Curragh third in the www.limerickraces.ie Rated Race.

The daughter of New Approach takes on disappointing Navan favourite Steel Prince, although the one to beat is the Ger Lyons-trained World War, who wasn't disgraced in a Listed race and now has blinkers fitted.

Lyons' Zoffany colt Masucci is one of a clutch of interesting newcomers in the opening Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden (6.00), but they will need to be above average to contend with Band Of Outlaws.

Joseph O'Brien's youngster had no luck when Donnacha O'Brien lost his irons at Roscommon on Monday, but still did remarkably well to finish second.

Puppetshow was a disappointing favourite at the Curragh, from where she has ground to make up on Breeze in the Croom Maiden, although Aljunood and Roman Wells could be the ones to concentrate on here.

Burren View Lady attempts to supplement her Ayr victory in the Racing Again June 23rd Handicap, while Not A Bad Oul Day and Keep Believing, who both failed in hat-trick bids last time, lock horns in the Limerick Handicap.
