This drop in distance may not be ideal for SONNYANJOE but he is clearly in form and is probably more battle-hardened than most. Native House might need this but has claims on last season's form, while Ballintra Boy created a favourable impression on his hurdling debut at Wexford in May and should stay this extra half-mile.

The versatile Newtown Dancer should go well but novice Piano Star faces a stiffish task at the weights so the vote goes to KOLN STARS. He failed to stay 2m4f at Killarney last month but earlier runs at Wexford and Kilbeggan entitle him to respect in this. Fieldsofclover has looked happier back over timber lately and is another to consider.

Among the best of last season's juvenile hurdlers, STRANGELY BROWN enhanced his reputation with success in a Grade 1 event at Auteuil in June and will be tough to beat here if fully wound-up. Articulation has some decent form but has had a busy summer, while Sky's The Limit looked below par in his three most recent runs and is probably best watched until showing signs of a revival.

Anglo Irish Bank Munster National Handicap Chase

Euro Leader appears to go from strength-to-strength but he has to give weight to some decent chasers here including Listowel second Banasan and the mare Mariah Rollins, who has always looked as though she'd be suited by 3m. LINCAM hasn't run since April but developed into a decent novice last season and could go close if ready for his reappearance.

Pat Keogh BMW Handicap Hurdle (81-109)

A winner at Galway last month, ROUNDSTONE LADY ran well off her new mark at Listowel next time and looks the one to beat in this. Dulgodti Bob won a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe in August and is probably on a decent mark, but a bigger danger may be Alickadoo who got going too late on his handicap debut at Tipperary having won at Cork the time before.

16:50 Limerick (IRE) (4YO plus)

Sherry Fitzgerald O'Malley Chase

2m 1f

Getting 15lbs from useful Watson Lake, who hasn't raced since chasing home War Of Attrition at Punchestown in April, ACCORDION ETOILE may prove hard to beat. This classy hurdler has always looked the type to do well over fences and need only jump adequately to open his account over the larger obstacles this afternoon. Green Belt Flyer may be best of the rest.

17:20 Limerick (IRE) (5YO plus)

Ladbrokes.ie EBF Beginners Chase

Kerryhead Windfarm looks a promising recruit to chasing having proved useful over hurdles last season. But it may pay to give a final chance to DAVENPORT MILENIUM, who was given a lot to do by Ruby Walsh at Listowel last time and is better than that. Akhtari has won three times over the smaller obstacles and is another worth bearing in mind.

8

17:50 Limerick (IRE) (5YO to 7YO)

Scarvagh House Stud Mares (Pro-am) INH Flat Race

ETERNAL LADY may have seen too much daylight when beaten at Wexford in August. If she settles better here, she will take all the beating. Former pointer Lady Kate Ellen was pulled up when last seen at Tipperary in April but had earlier finished ahead of Cloghoge Lady at Thurles and shouldn't be written off just yet. Moscow Girl and Clover Pearl are open to improvement.
