Limerick Race 3 - Kevin Mcmanus Bookmaker Grimes Hurdle (Grade 3)
DADDY LONG LEGS (3) brings excellent credentials after a solid second by 3L on the flat at Down Royal. A proven performer that they all have to beat. BOWENSONFIRE (2) returns from a short break however maintains an excellent record over jumps registering five victories from eighteen starts. Genuine claims if fully tuned. JESSE EVANS (1) made a winning return when successful in a steeplechase at Listowel. Tends to improve on second outing. Shortlist. KING OF KINGSFIELD (4) resumes after a brief spell following a tough assignment among Grade 1 company at Aintree. He is capable of much better in this grade. Don't underestimate.
