John Thomas McNamara Series (Q.R.) Handicap Hurdle

Limerick · 15:30 · Sunday, 18 October 2026 · 3m · Good To Yielding

🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to be contested at a moderate to firm tempo, with Duce Bigalow emerging as the most consistent performer in recent runs, having recorded a third-place finish at Roscommon with a strong lead and sustained pressure, supported by a solid RPR of 89 and a recent improvement in going conditions. He is hard to oppose in form, having shown resilience in yielding ground and maintaining a prominent position despite being outpaced early, with a clean run at Down Royal and a clear headway in the run-in, and is a value at the forecast price with a strong track record in similar conditions. The main danger comes from Run For The Border, who showed a sharp run-in surge at Limerick and is well-positioned with a 1W/5R course record, while Lucy Wang, despite a recent dip, remains a consistent mid-pack threat with a strong RPR and a recent improvement in performance after a poor showing at Navan. Giorgia Rose, with a headgear change and a recent run in the rear, offers a notable each-way player at the price, and Three County Star, though behind in form, presents a first-time headgear option with potential in the midfield.
