Limerick Race 4 - Follow Limerick Racecourse On Instagram (C & G) Maiden Hurdle
BOWENSONFIRE (4) proved consistent this season placing in similar contests at Naas and Punchestown. Looks a leading contender set to get off the mark. Former point-to-point winner YOULITA (12) was last seen placing in a Fairyhouse jumpers flat during November. Could have an impact delivering initial stable outing. KENTUCKY BEACH (6) is feared following a decent third at Tramore under the in-form Tiernan Roche. Making the frame twice from four maiden hurdles ARCH HALL (1) warrants thought.
