Review limerick 25th Jan

Wed 25th Jan 2012, 16:20

< Page Turner (5/2) confirmed the promise of his jumping debut when running out a clear-cut winner of the INH Stallion Owners EBF Maiden Hurdle at Limerick.

John Walsh's seven-year-old found only high-class Flat recruit Distant Memories too strong at this venue over Christmas, but made every post a winning one here.

Admittedly, his task was made easier by the withdrawal of probable favourite Pride Ofthe Parish, but he still showed a really willing attitude to cross the line 12 lengths ahead of Futuramic

Pride Ofthe Parish's absence meant Catleen was Willie Mullins' only remaining runner on the card, and she duly obliged in the www.limerickraces.com Handicap Hurdle.

The 6/4 favourite was travelling much stronger than the front-running Rockers Field swinging into the straight and Ruby Walsh sent her about her business to record a two-length verdict.

The complexion of the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Maiden Hurdle changed with the midway departure of market principals Thynetocatcher and Tellherimnothere but nothing can be taken away from winner Lisrose

Ridden by her owner's son Declan Queally, the 6/1 shot had hit the crossbar on her previous two outings and saw off the challenge of Mini Vic by six and a half lengths.< Special Token gained compensation for her Cork demotion when handing out a comprehensive defeat to the opposition in the Greenmount Beginners Chase.

Always in the front rank, the 11/8 market leader quickened nicely clear in the straight to beat Carrigdhoun by nine and a half lengths.

Joe Holly conjured a second wind out of 16/1 chance Killcara Boy who rallied to beat Dr Proctor on his return from a break in the Sporting Limerick Handicap Hurdle, while Eoin Doyle's Come To The Party (8/1) put a Punchestown fall behind him by regaining the winning thread in the Greenmount Conference Centre Handicap Chase.
