Successful over the course and distance here at Christmas, Jack Absolute just prevailed by half a length from favourite, Publicize in the Martinstown Opportunity Handicap Chase.

Eddie Power rode this grey for John Joe Walsh. He competes in the colours of John Kierans, of Anglo Printers, responsible for the Limerick racecard and many others throughout the country.

Walsh said: "That is his third win at Limerick so he is a bit of a course specialist. He disappointed at Punchestown last time but he had muck in this throat. He'll go for another handicap in a few weeks time." (EM)
