3:27 Limerick Tips

Mount Frisco followed a chase win over this distance at Gowran Park with a twenty-length win in a two-mile handicap hurdle at Clonmel. He could not get better than third last time back at Gowran Park in a better-class chase, finishing three pounds out of the handicap and fading on the run-in. He could win off the same mark in this weaker race.

Miss Pronunciation is weighted to go very well here, and the ground will certainly be to her liking. Her best run in recent times was probably her 4th of 10 at Fairyhouse at the back end of November last year (three runs back), when, over a similar trip to today (soft ground), she ran a very good race without being given much of a hard time at all, off a mark of 120. Today's rating of 116 makes her very competitive if running to anything close to that level this time. Whilst her performance last time out was enough to show she's still running to form, she did look as though the trip (on that occasion a good 2f further than her preferred distance) on heavy ground was slightly too testing. The drop back today sets her up nicely, in my opinion.

Krabat won a Veterans' Handicap Chase here in December over further, but Mount Frisco is possibly better over two miles and could lose out on the run-in.

Won at Market Rasen back in late 2024 and has not been in the same form since, but can go very close here. Each-way bet.
