12:52 Limerick Tips

Looking well handicapped now, running off the same weight as when making its handicap debut. Hasn't been the most consistent, but has run well on soft ground. The jockey won a decent P2P last year with this jockey aboard.

I've learnt the hard way many a time in this game - Underestimate the Orange/Navy silks of this yard at your peril & this time (In my humble opinion) is no different. Oliver McKiernan's 12 year old Veteran Gelding DIFFICULT DECISION was immediately jotted down in my tracker 16 days ago @Punchestown coming over a gargantuan 839 day sabbatical to finish 4th (of 15) keeping on outrunning his big 66/1 odds. I've no idea if this race has been targeted but this old boy 'Should' strip fitter for that pipe opener & 'Should' prefer the return back to the tall timber with his last win coming over the festive period (29th December 2022) when last seen here @Limerick & arrives here just 1lb heavier than that run (104). Jockey Philip Enright remains in the saddle & has a very good record with this charge with a 42.86% place strike rate (from 7 runs), Another plus is Trainers record here @Limerick the past 5 years (31.71% place strike rate). At odds of 14/1 Im more than happy to have an each way poke.
