Irish horse racing tips: Johnny Ward's best bets for Sunday

It's JT McNamara Ladbrokes Munster National Day at Limerick, and hopefully the track will attract a good crowd for its marquee meeting of the year outside of the Christmas Festival.

I haven’t managed to find a bet in what is an incredibly competitive betting heat, but I have managed to find selections in the other handicap chases on the card.

I've also gone for one at the Curragh, and both meetings will be shown live on Racing TV. Be lucky.

Ger O'Leary and assistant Adrian Joyce are enjoying a fine campaign and, given this filly was sent off 9-4 in Listed company last time, she can't be let go at the 17-2 on offer.

She loves soft ground, hardly ever disappoints and is likely to be held onto longer this time, with Moss Tucker looking very short in the betting based upon what was, admittedly, a fine run in the Prix de l'Abbaye last time out.

Local trainer Michael McDonagh has his string in good form and this winning chaser looks ready to score again.

Krabat has run very well on his past two starts over hurdles and travelled like the winner at Gowran Park when last seen, so his confidence should be high on ground he will relish.

This five-year-old somehow opened up at 25-1 overnight before being backed into joint-favourite at Tipperary last time out. Although he did plenty wrong there, he may still have won had he not exited at the last, and he looks very well-handicapped here.
