THE Christmas fixtures at Limerick got short shrift here last week, the focus instead on Leopardstown, but with the main meeting at Naas last Sunday abandoned due to fog, there is time now to look back at those four days.

Most of the big races there have been well-covered already so perhaps attention on some – hopefully – more subtle eye-catchers from the mid- and low-grade races are the way to go, allowing that the ground there was typically testing and some of these might need time to overcome their exertions.
