Limerick Race 3 - Ryans Cleaning Maiden Hurdle
THISAIN'TTHAT (10) is open to plenty of improvement after just two attempts managing a fair debut fifth over 3200m at Punchestown before filling the same position in a 4000m maiden hurdle at the same track five weeks ago. Serious player. Point-to-point winner ENDLESS TALKING (5) represents a notable stable. May progress on first hurdle outing after a 3400m eighth in a Down Royal jumpers flat race during December. Holds claims. BLAZING DUKE (2) unseated the rider on the third hurdle at Wexford among maiden company trying 3200m two weeks ago. Could make amends. Warrants a market check. KOEUR A PRENDRE (7) might be thereabouts.

He is resuming after a three months break. Finished off last campaign 12 of 18 runners at Fairyhouse January 1 over 4023m, 41 len behind Spinningayarn with 74kg at $301. First ever race start 10 of 18 runners at Punchestown December 11 over 3822m, on heavy track; 69 len behind Zanoosh carrying 75.5kg at $151. Looks one of the outsiders here.

Racing second-up today. First-up after three months didn't finish the race at Wexford on March 17 over 3218m. Previously second-up finished seventh of 16 runners at Naas on December 15 over 3822m, 16 len behind Shellrunforbriggs carrying 75.5kg at $4.50. Forgive first-up failure. Recent run worth overlooking.

Facing the starter for the third time today. At very big odds at debut, finished 11th of 18 starters at Down Royal on December 26 over 4023m, 41 len behind Sept Etoiles with 68.5kg at $151. Last start finished seventh of 21 runners at Naas on February 22 over 3118m, on a wet track; 41 len behind Star Of The Week with 73kg at $151. Doesn't look a major player.

Last start finished 11th of 14 runners at Naas on March 8 over 3822m, 82 len behind Healys Pub with 75.5kg at $251. Before that ran last at Punchestown on January 26 over 3218m, on a wet track; 87 len behind Leader D'allier carrying 72kg at $201. The drop in distance may help but hard to have on what he's shown so far.

Facing the starter for the third time today.

Progressive type with solid prospects.

Second-up today. Not raced for 56 days. First-up after three months pulled up at Fairyhouse on February 3 over 4023m. Previously second-up finished sixth of 14 starters at this track on November 18 over 3218m, on rain affected going; 14 len behind Piccolo Player with 75.5kg at $201. Might find this a bit too tough.
