Limerick Race 4 - Boyle Sports Home Of Early Payout Maiden Hurdle
FOU DE TOI (1) was expected to go well on debut in a maiden hurdle at Thurles last month but could only manage a distant fourth. Warrants thought as entitled to improve from that outing having spent time on the sidelines. Could prove hard to beat in this open event. FRANKIE'S FREEBIE (2) was a point winner May 2025. Made the frame on all three starts for this yard and will be of interest in a handicap. PANJANDRUM (4) won his jumpers flat during November. Disappointed both hurdle outings so needs to improve though still early days. BELLADONA PRINCESS (5) hinted ability and is one to watch on this occasion.
