Limerick Race 4 - Jim Ryan Racecourse Services Memorial Hcp
MONVOE (10) was unable to land a hat-trick when raised in grade at Leopardstown last week. That wasn't a bad effort and now dropping back down in trip he will run a bold race. Consider. ROYAL SAXO (2) makes his debut in Ireland after moving from France. Joins a shrewd stable for his career on these shores and interesting to see what the market thinks of his chances. PIERRE ROYAL (3) has been gelded since leaving Dermot Weld and retains potential debuting for Adrian McGuinness. One to note. EARLS (8) is well exposed and vulnerable against younger competition in this field. Holds place claims at best.
