LIMERICK LORD had a subsequent winner back in third when winning a maiden over 5f here last time. He was placed over track and trip before that and is preferred to the other recent maiden winner Clever Love. Wink Oliver continues to improve and an apprentice's allowance negates most of a 4lb rise for winning at Wolverhampton while Vincenzo Coccoti finished ahead of Reflation when second here a fortnight ago. Firgrove Bridge wasn't beaten far when fourth at Chelmsford last time and is not out of this either.
