      Verdict

      LIMERICK LORD has placed on his last three outings at the track and finished in front of previous course and distance winner With Approval and Sharp Operator when third here in June. The latter has subsequently boosted the form by winning over track and trip with Junoesque well beaten so the top weight looks to have a leading chance today. Sir Jamie finished in front of Bloodsweatandtears when third at the track back in May but was due to run at yesterday’s meeting here.
