After a very easy victory on his hurdling debut at Roscommon, Burren Life couldn't handle the step-up to Listed company at Limerick and makes his handicap debut. Eviscerating attempted to make all over slightly further here a fortnight ago but had no answer when the winner quickened past at the second last. This trip should help but it's FLORAMAR who looks the one to be on. Conor O'Dwyer's charge was having only his fifth start when landing a Downpatrick maiden in September where he looked the type to go on to better things. Mary Frances won a Limerick maiden in March and was in the process of making a very good return when falling here a couple of weeks ago and she's another who should be capable of better. Nellie Pledge has won twice in recent weeks and had little chance in a Punchestown Listed contest last time, especially over a trip too short.
