Take Jimmy to prove the Final boss

Fairyhouse winner shouldn't be underestimated

Conyers can collect cash in Listed affair
Attempting to take on a machine like Final Demand on his second start over fences may well prove to a fruitless exercise, but this game is all about prices and at 1/3 he is beyond the reach of most daily punters.
Stablemates Jimmy Du Seuil and Gold Dancer should ensure this isn't a procession, with the former equally impressive on his chasing bow at Fairyhouse.
While Final Demand was beating the subsequently vanquished Wingmen, Jimmy Du Seuil ran out a decisive winner at the expense of classy mare The Big Westerner at Fairyhouse in a race run at a true pace.
The selection's jumping data was also excellent according to RaceIQ and the performance of third home, Jacob's Ladder, in bolting up on his subsequent start endorsed the form handsomely.
The Mount Nelson gelding has often looked a class act, but setbacks have stymied his progress on the big stage until he arrived at Cheltenham last March to run out an impressive winner of the Coral Cup under Danny Mullins.
His stable have clearly had a clearer run with his training in recent months and he looks a smart prospect in his own right, albeit the Sportsbook compilers have wisely ducked his price so it might be worth shopping around or playing on the exchange.
Back Jimmy Du Seuil to Win 13:40 Limerick
Trainer Paul Nolan went close on Boxing Day at Leopardstown in a competitive handicap chase with Release The Beast and Conyers Hill could gain a measure of compensation in this Listed contest.
The Wexford handler entered multiple horses in this feature chase and relies on the seven-year-old who emerged with huge credit from the Paddy Power Gold Cup where he was an honourable fourth to Panic Attack.
That form has taken a couple of handsome boosts since and the performance represented a clear career best for the selection who ran a blinder at this venue back in October on his first start for six months.
Admittedly, Conyers Hill doesn't always find as much off the bridle as looks likely, so he might be one to put into lay in running fairly short, but he does have some quality and his cruising speed should make him competitive here.
