Cailin Annamh is on a recovery mission when she runs in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Chase at Limerick.
The six-year-old was a short-priced favourite when she fell in a beginners event at Fairyhouse, just as she was mounting her challenge at the second-last.
The Jessica Harrington-trained six-year-old receives 8lb from top-weight Caoimhe's Delight in this extended two-mile-three contest. Draycott Place has a quick opportunity to supplement his Downpatrick victory when he goes for the Limerick GAA Novice Hurdle for four-year-olds plus.
John Ryan 's horse won decisively in the north last weekend after taking a significant drop in class from Graded races won by the likes of Vautour and Beat That. He faces The Plan Man and recent Cork winner Shield in what is an intriguing heat. Cloudy Rock looked a horse to follow when she cruised home by seven lengths in a Tramore bumper last month. She reappears in the opening Follow Us On Twitter Mares Maiden Hurdle (2.15), where Circe's Island could be a tough nut to crack after her third-placed effort behind Le Vent D'Antan in Navan.
Charlie Swan 's Hareth has just 10st 2lb on his back in the Join The Tote Go Racing Club Handicap Hurdle. With Paul Carberry booked, a win is sought after he finished third in Ballinrobe and second at Fairyhouse in his first two ventures into handicap hurdling. The Housekeeper receives the 7lb mares allowance in the Supermacs Dooradoyle Beginners Chase and after the way she hacked up in Down Royal she is likely to be popular in the betting.
She is clearly in good heart the way she put nine and a half lengths on Taglietelle in that hurdle race. Her trainer Harry Kelly commented in Down Royal that she would be exciting over fences and she once again sports the hood that has made a difference to her performances.
