Limerick Race 4 - D'Icon Novice Handicap Hurdle
SENSE OF OCCASION (3) First up from a break. Came in 4th last time in a hurdle at Down Royal. Has the potential to improve sharply. Could pose a threat and expected to go very close. MARKET READY (7) Tidy effort when 2nd last run in a hurdle at Clonmel. Winning hope. HARDY STUFF (1) Didn't find the line when 20th last start in a hurdle at Cheltenham. Can show a better performance this time. Will be trying to topple them late. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. ARCTIC FLAME (2) Fresh today. Came in 11th last start in a hurdle at Leopardstown. Should be very competitive and is a genuine threat.

Odds of $4.00 and ran 6th last run in a hurdle at Gowran Park. The large claim from Michael Kenneally helps. Can surprise at a nice price.
