•Official going is yet to be published, a critical factor for Limerick.
•Undulating, right-handed chase course with a stiff uphill climb and downhill run.
•Five fences in quick succession in the back straight demand accurate jumping.
•Front-runners can be advantaged on quicker ground if allowed an easy lead.

Risk Assessment
