Verdict
Easy Fella looked a likely future winner when runner-up over 2m4f at Punchestown and may have found three miles on softer ground too far at Limerick. Friends N Commerce has now had 13 starts without winning but will have found two miles too short at Limerick and is better judged on a close second in a 2m4f Punchestown handicap. SHOWURAPPRECIATION attracted support at Gowran but found two miles on the short side and was staying on when the race was all over. This should prove more to his liking and he can get off the mark though Trackman Tommy has been going well enough to get into contention. The Ballyline Man would be an obvious contender if getting a run from his reserve spot.
