The week began with my pick Stumptown finishing 4th. The 5/2 shot sat 2nd at halfway dropping to 4th 2 out. He had no extra from early in the straight while upfront Captain Conby beat Bois De Clamart by 1 1/4 lengths.
Eight races take place at Limerick on Tuesday where the most interesting contest is the 3.10 when 17 line-up for the Follow Limerick Racecourse On Twitter Maiden Hurdle. State Man looked the likely winner when falling 2 out in a novice hurdle at Leopardstown on his Irish debut 37 days ago. He was travelling the best at the time and with entries in both the Supreme Novices and the Ballymore at Cheltenham next month connections will hope he can make amends here. Bugs Moran is a promising horse who was 2nd in a bumper at Tramore when last seen at the beginning of December. He was left with too much to make up that day finishing 16 lengths behind the winner but he switches to hurdles here and is feared most. The other who appeals is Plains Indian who returned after a 487 day break to finish 7th at Fairyhouse 23 days ago. He switches back to hurdles and shouldn’t be overlooked.
Big race prediction: 10: State Man.
