Verdict
LIMERICK LORD remains without a win on Turf after recording a string of placed efforts but has won twice on the all-weather before. He gets another chance dropping back down a grade for this. Coolcalmcollected finished a bit closer last time having slid down the weights though never looked like catching the winner when third at Catterick. She’s still preferred to the remainder who have all been struggling of late including Theydon Thunder, who landed a double back in June. The wins have dried up for For Shia And Lula but both he and Orlando Rogue are back on winning marks if at their best.
