Munster National 2026 Result

Sunday 18 October 2026 · Limerick · By Matthew Glazier · Last updated

There could be as many as twenty-five runners lining up in the BOYLE Sports JT McNamara Munster National Handicap Chase, with Limerick Racecourse hosting a Grade Three encounter over three miles. It will be interesting to see which horse jumps and stays the best, although Bossofthebrownies ticks plenty of boxes and could be the one to back.

Mouse Morris’ charge has served up some interesting performances already, with Pinot Gris having collected a couple of wins this term. Another of the favourites is Uhavemeinstitches who is one of the many JP McManus-owned runners. Anyway can’t be dismissed after a victory last time out, although it’s one of the top-weighted charges in the race.

Munster National Betting Tips

Bossofthebrownies should perform well after hitting the frame on a consistent basis last term. The seven-year-old claimed a victory at Fairyhouse last November when winning a Beginners Chase by thirteen lengths. There was then a solid effort at Punchestown a few weeks later before solid efforts at Naas. We expect his seasonal debut to be strong.

Pinot Gris is another of the top-weighted horses in the field, with the six-year-old having raced plenty of times for Henry de Bromhead this term. There was a success at Wexford in July, with the horse having gone well over a longer distance at Galway. More recently, a victory at Listowel saw the charge win well by a significant distance.

Uhavemeinstitches had a mixed bag of performances last term, although the bookies still think the horse has a reasonable chance of success here. The six-year-old was pulled up at Punchestown in May, although that was preceded by a smart run at Limerick over three miles. That came after the charge unseated his rider at Naas in March.

Anyway is an eight-year-old who landed a victory on a seasonal debut, with David Kenneth Buds training a charge who could be hitting his peak this season. The horse ran well at Listowel in September, with the 28/1 shot finishing second over a mile and six furlongs. That came after a Tramore win over two miles and six furlongs.
