Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Crowsatedappletart is our selection, and his progressive profile makes him the one to side with in this 18-runner staying contest at Limerick. He is rated 114, just two pounds behind the top-rated Boston Rajj on 116, so there is very little to choose on figures and the upward trajectory tips it his way. St Lawrence's Well, a pound behind Boston Rajj on 115, is a danger, as is Pakens Rock, who shares our pick's rating of 114, and the 20f on good to soft should suit a horse still on the climb. Crowsatedappletart is the selection.

St Lawrence's Well comes here fit after a third last time out 17 days ago, and he has run over today's trip, while our rating of 115 ranks him second of 18. The risk is a winless run in his last five starts, and 168 lb is a hefty burden.

Top-rated of the 18 on our figures, Boston Rajj has run over today's trip and on this going, and returns fresh after 24 days; the main risk is a form line of fifth, seventh, fifth in his last three, and he is yet to win in recent starts.

Galavanting George has twice fallen in his last two outings, but a second and a third before that show he can run well, and he has experience of today's trip and going. A 161-day absence and 162 lb on an official mark of 106 temper the appeal, and our rating of 106 ranks him tenth of 18.

Beckistine was a fourth last time out, a step up on an eighth and a pulled up before that, and he has run over today's trip and going after 24 days off. Yet to win in his last five, he carries 161 lb off 105, which looks a lot to ask.

Pulled up last time out and without a win in his last five, Hello Jack has little recent form to lean on, though he has run on today's going, and a third four starts back shows he has ability. Carrying 161 lb off 105, he looks held, though our rating of 111 ranks him fifth of 18.

Way Down South arrives a last-time-out winner, quickly back after ten days, and has run over today's trip and going before, but he carries 161 lb and was only fifth two starts back. Our rating of 107 ranks him eighth of 18, so he looks a midfield sort.

Fit after 24 days and with experience of today's trip and going, Pakens Rock sits fourth of 18 on our rating of 114 despite a ninth last time out, a fourth two starts back and being winless in recent starts. The main risk is carrying 160 lb off an official mark of 104.

Lep Around fell last time out after a third two starts back, and she returns from 213 days off, so fitness is the question. She has run over today's trip and is yet to win in her last four starts, while 159 lb is a stiff burden off 103.

Ann Bulkley is hard to fancy after a fifth last time out, a fourth two starts back and another fourth three starts back, and she is yet to win in that spell. A 161-day break and 155 lb are further concerns, though she has run over today's trip.

Hard to fancy, as Coolboy Christy is winless in his last six, unplaced last time out and with a fifth two starts back his best recent effort bar a fourth five starts back, while a cold yard (one from 29) and 150 lb add to the burden. He has run over today's trip and is back after 14 days.

Hard to fancy after 161 days off, with unplaced efforts in two of his last three and a fifth two starts back, while the yard is cold at 1/29 in the last fortnight. On the plus side, he won five starts back and has run over today's trip, though carrying 150 lb offers little help.

Jaadil is winless in her last five, with a fifth last time out following a ninth, a fall and a pulled up, so it's hard to fancy her at 149 lb. A second five starts back and experience of today's trip and going are the positives, while our figures rank her 17th of 18.

Back out after just one day's rest, At The Wings was unplaced last time, though he did win two starts back and again three starts back; he has run over today's trip, but carrying 142 lb off a mark of 86, and ranked last of 18 on our figures, he is hard to fancy.
