Johnny Ward's Irish Angle: Star can shine at Limerick

A busy weekend in Ireland concludes with a jumps card in Tramore and some similarly tough contests at Limerick.

Whatever your day entails, ensure you spare a few minutes to back one at a quarter to three in Limerick. Robert Whearty is a name to follow.

Be lucky.

This horse did not quite see out the mile at Limerick last time but it's a sign of intent that the in-form Ken Condon targets it again. The draw isn't ideal, but he is a nice horse, and the opposition of the likes of Baseman and County Wicklow is not formidable.

This horse was plainly unlucky at Roscommon last time. He was due to be ridden by very promising 10lb claimer Robert Whearty, who got injured the morning of the race. His deputy, Joey Sheridan, endured a very rough passage on the horse, as can happen down the back straight in Roscommon, and he did really well to finish fourth. He looks a certain future winner in a cracking heat for an each-way bet.
