Review limerick 14th Nov

< Rockyaboya (9/4) came home a comfortable winner of the Munster Beginners Chase at Limerick, but the feature race wasn't without drama.< Luddsdenene attempted to make all and was slowly being reeled in by the winner when falling, along with third-placed Odonimee two from fences from home to leave Willie Mullins' charge in front.

The chasing debutant kept on well to score by 11 lengths from 15/8 favourite Tico with Beckwith Star back in third.< Gift Of Dgab produced a highly impressive chasing debut in the Askeaton Beginners Chase.

After being sent to the front from the off, Tony Martin's inmate never saw another rival on his way to landing and put in a fine round of jumping before being eased down to justify favouritism with a 17-length verdict.< The Engineer got the better of Wilde Wit Pleasure in the battle for the silver medal.

Tell Dawston sprang a surprise in the opener as he ran out a 20/1 winner of the Christmas Festival December 26th-29th Maiden Hurdle.

Debbie Hartnett's charge stayed on well up the home straight to get the better of Tellherimnothere with a length-and-a-quarter to spare.< Rossa Parks produced an even bigger shock in the Munster Mares Maiden Hurdle.

French-import Theleze (8/11fav) was all the rage beforehand but could only manage third behind Sean Aherne's charge, who jumped into the lead at the last and proved a length too strong for long-time leader Sligo Publican

John Joe Walsh and Philip Enright teamed up to land both divisions of the Greenmount Annual Membership Handicap Hurdle.

The first instalment went the way of Really Unique (6/1), who was produced with three to jump and was always in control before crossing the line one-and-a-half lengths clear of Stonehatchetmad

The double was completed 35 minutes later by Big Jemmy (7/1), who travelled well to lead two out and held Satwa King with a length-and-quarter in hand.
