The Irish Angle: Johnny Ward's three best bets on Thursday
By Johnny Ward
Last Updated: Wed 20 May 2026
Our man Johnny Ward highlights an Irish raider at Chepstow and marks your card for Thursday evening's Irish action at Limerick where every race is live on Racing TV.
5.18 Limerick: Affinity Rock
Look To The West should win this but the selection will be priced accordingly and the likely favourite is risky on the back of two falls, beaten when departing both times.
Affinity Rock ought to make this a proper test for a mare whose confidence may be a question mark.

6.40 Chepstow: Boston Max
This handicap debutant was a revelation at Dundalk when he had a wide journey but still pretty much hacked up, and it intrigues me that he comes here with seemingly ample scope to do better as a sprinter for Gordon Elliott.
7.48 Limerick: Oneforgonzo
The key to this horse is nice ground, but he looks well-handicapped after finally putting it together at Killarney.
This is a weak race and his rider is in excellent form.
