Sizing overcomes problems to win

They backed Without Limites into odds-on favouritism for the I.N.H. Stallion Owners European Breeders Fund Maiden Hurdle but it was second market choice Sizinguptheamazon that landed the spoils in race two at Limerick.

Without Limites wasn't fluent at the third last and the front-runner couldn't raise his effort from before the next.

Sizinguptheamazon was soon in the lead then. Aaron Lad wasn't fluent at the last and he eventually lost out by two lengths to Sizinguptheamazon.

There was a length back to Babytaggle in third, and the aforementioned Without Limites was three and three parts of a length behind in fourth.

Jim Dreaper trains the Mark Enright-ridden victor and he said: "He has been very consistent and has just had training problems. He's a seven year old now and has only had six runs but had feet problems. He hasn't had tendon problems but the farrier has had to spend lots of time with him.

"He's a nice horse, has an adequate engine, and the step up in trip suited."
