Andy Slattery thinks plenty of Branch Line who could defy top weight in the Jackie Chan Allstars Play Live At Limerick Racecourse June 17th Rated Race on Sunday.

The son of Rip Van Winkle won his maiden on debut in Roscommon last June, after which Slattery said he was as good a horse as he has ever had.

He was put away after finishing fifth in the Listed Canford Cliffs Stakes at Tipperary before reappearing last weekend to take third to the very promising Glastonbury Song at Dundalk.

The three-year-old should strip fitter for that effort and might be a money-spinner for Slattery this campaign.

San Remo got his head in front on the Polytrack earlier this month and could deliver again when stepped up in trip for the 4 Of Us Play Live At Limerick Racecourse June 23rd Handicap, over an extended mile and a half.

Lady Tipperary was fourth in Dundalk almost a year ago in a race which is working out well, so she should be prominent in the Book Online At www.limerickraces.ie Fillies Median Auction Maiden.

The good form of trainer Fozzy Stack offsets any concerns over the lengthy lay-off.

Johnny Murtagh has enjoyed a good April with three winners and Loose Chippings has to be of interest off a mark of 65 in the Follow Limerick Racecourse On Twitter Handicap.

Fair Game appeals in the Family Fun Day May 21st Handicap. She was a never-nearer fourth in Cork but that could be a decent effort as the horse in ninth (Ken's Sam's) has since won.

Leopardstown-placed Hyperdrive has the potential to add to Jessica Harrington's golden run in the Michael English Plays Live At Limerick Racecourse July 27th Handicap.

He meets his Foxrock conqueror Steelyeyed on 5lb better terms.

Homesman was a beaten favourite at Navan on Monday but is promptly back in action for the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Maiden and ought to be up to the task
