THE ground at Limerick was changed to heavy on Friday afternoon following rain during the day, and no inspection is planned for Saturday's meeting. Racecourse spokesman Steve McDonagh said: "The frost has gone and everything is fine for Saturday's meeting. We've changed the ground description to heavy following seven millimetres of rain."
Gonna be cold - nap :(
12.35 - not a bad maiden hurdle to start things off but Quito De La Roque rates as Nap material for me here - won a ptp on his only start then ran a crackin race first time under rules wen second behind Glenstal Abbey in heavy ground also so tomorrows ground should nt prove a problem! Travelled well from the back and looked a big danger to the winner going to 2 out but his jumps at the last 2 hurdles were nt great, and just flattened out a bit- but was still an excellent debut and with that run under his belt and stepping up 2f in trip, which should suit imo, gonna be tough to beat here
2.45 - Dolly Hall was a very unlucky loser last time imo in a very messy race coming to the last at Cork wen gettin checked twice, and eating up the ground at the death can gain compensation here
3.15 Depending on price Taradoun worth an e/w play imo, ground wont be a problem, jumps well, been second on both chase startsl- chased home Apt Approach last time, and rates a solid e/w bet if 5 or 6/1 imo
Headin there tomrrow.really looking forward to the big one,hard to see past sports line but fancy Sam Adams and mr warbucks without. Agree with bjg re murphys in the first, my nap of the day. Good luck all.

I take back what I said about the Pilot on RBB. The horse was no help to him. I felt he had hotten the horse unsettled but that was not the case. Badly wanted winner in any case so no complaints
