Limerick Race 2 - Ryans Cleaning (C & G) Maiden Hurdle
French flat winner MANOIR DE MIRANDE (8) represents leading connections. Placed past two outings with a 2.75L second in a 3200m heavy ground maiden hurdle at Gowran Park preceding a distant third at the same venue twenty four days ago. Big chance. BEAUVALLON (1) shaped with credit on hurdle debut producing a fifth in a 3200m maiden hurdle at Thurles. Winner was fourth among G2 company since at the Cheltenham Festival. Main danger. CROOKED PATH (3) managed to place last two outings including a 15L third in a 3400m heavy ground hurdle here nineteen days ago. Makes appeal. FIVEANDAHALF (5) rates an interesting chance.

Comes off a 31 day let-up. Last start finished fourth of 9 starters at Navan on February 28 over 3218m, on heavy track; 34 len behind Moulin Labbe with 70kg at $201. The start before that; finished fifth in a small field at Punchestown P2p on February 8 over 4023m, on a wet track; 26 len behind County Prospect carrying 57.5kg. Others read better. Good last time but needs to take another step.

Last start raced on the pace prior to fading finished 11th of 26 runners at Curragh on March 15 over 1609m, on heavy track; 19 len behind Electric Beauty with 65kg at $51. Start before pulled up at Ascot on January 17 over 3161m. Will be tested. May be suited by the longer distance but others look better.

Resumes after three months. Finished off last preparation 7 of 13 starters at Punchestown December 31 over 3319m, 36 len behind Immediate Effect carrying 70kg at $251. When resuming last campaign 14 of 17 runners at Curragh September 27 over 2011m, 23 len behind Simurgh with 61kg at $401. Not likely to threaten.

Useful gelding. Last start finished third of 18 runners at Gowran Park on March 7 over 3218m, on a wet track; 31 len behind Minella Boss with 71kg at $1.80. The start before that; finished second of 10 runners at Gowran Park on February 14 over 3218m, on rain affected going; 2.75 len behind Madness D'elle carrying 73kg at $5. Promising galloper. Leading hope on the latest effort.

Was at very long odds at debut, finished 13th of 14 starters at Cork on March 19 over 3419m, 66 len behind Lynches Knock carrying 71.5kg at $51. Looks tested this line-up. First up effort suggests unlikely to be winning.
