Onlyhuman can build on a pleasing seasonal reappearance when he contests the Sports And Social Outings At Limerick Racecourse Handicap today.
The six-year-old gelding chased home Latchet at Leopardstown this month, after switching stables to Jessica Harrington.
Several who finished behind Onlyhuman have subsequently delivered, to strengthen the form.
A step up in trip for this extended mile-and-three-furlong contest looks ideal, after he finished well over a mile and a quarter last time. Encantador was a big eyecatcher at Leopardstown, and must go on any short-list for the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap.
From fully ninth a furlong out, she rattled home to be nearest at the finish in second.
She looks likely to make the breakthrough soon after three runner-up finishes in a row. Atlas who beat Encantador at Leopardstown, has prospects of following up in the GP Wood, If You Could You Wood Handicap.
There was plenty to like about Geneticist rsquo;s debut second for Michael O’Callaghan at Gowran Park, so he is tipped to go one better in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF (C&G) Maiden.
Geneticist’s stablemate Bodhicitta bids to snap a string of runner-up berths when she lines up for the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden.
She may come up short again, though, because Silk Forest and Kalanoura are worthy adversaries. Jassaar was a beaten favourite at Gowran Park but is entitled to strip fitter from that run.
He appears the one to beat, dropping back in trip, for the Buy Twilight Racing Tickets Online Maiden over a mile.
Course-and-distance winner Yo Tambien merits plenty of respect in division one of the Group Rates Available At Limerick Racecourse Handicap over an extended mile and three. Cork Harbour may defy a 6lb raise for winning in Clonmel when she tackles the second division.
