Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Therellbguddaysyet looks the one to side with in this 24f test at Limerick, topping our ratings on 119 and narrowly ahead of Fenway Park on 118, which is enough to give him the call on balance. Fenway Park is the chief danger, being only a pound behind, while Haveanothertry on 113 and Lucy Wang on 110 are the other principal threats, with a gap back to the rest of the 12-runner field. He tackles good to soft ground over this marathon trip, though the margin is slim and confidence is low. Therellbguddaysyet gets the nod.

Consistent sort, Haveanothertry has finished third last time out, a third two starts back and a second three starts back, yet to win in his last five but always in the mix. Fresh enough after 28 days, though 172 lb is the main risk, and our rating of 113 ranks him third of twelve.

N Stokes 0/0
Fenway Park won three starts back and was second two runs ago, and he has run on today's going before, while our rating of 118 ranks him second of 12. The main risk is a 133-day absence, with an unplaced effort last time out and 167 lb to carry.

Mr C Mullins
Emmet Mullins 1/12
Lucy Wang bounces back from two unplaced runs with a second last time out, just 16 days ago, and has run over today's trip, so she arrives fit and sharp. Carrying 165 lb off a mark of 103 is the main risk, though our rating of 110 marks her as a real threat.

Fourth last time out and a fifth two starts back, Therellbguddaysyet is yet to win in his last five, but he has run over today's trip and going and our top-rated runner at 119 sits well clear of his official 103 despite carrying 165 lb. A 57-day break is the one reservation.

Miss N Lockhead Anderson (2)
S Curling 1/4
Sallap won twice in her last six starts and was a second two starts back, but three fifths in that run show she's been short of the winning level lately; she has run over today's trip and going, yet 164 lb is a big burden for a midfield-ranked mare.

Brian M McMahon 0/3
Strange Currency is yet to win in his last five, with a seventh last time out, another seventh two starts back and a sixth three starts back, though he has run over today's trip and going and returns after 37 days off. Carrying 164 lb off 102 is a burden, but our rating of 105 ranks him fifth of twelve.

Mr J G Murphy (2)
Daniel G Murphy 0/2
Just For One won two starts back and was runner-up five starts back, but he was seventh last time out and pulled up in two of his last five, so reliability is the concern. Back in just 12 days under 163 lb, he looks a midfield type, and our rating of 100 ranks him eighth of twelve.

Giorgia Rose comes off a sixth last time out and an unplaced run before that, after three thirds in her prior form, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Yet to win in her last five, she carries 159 lb off 97 after 37 days off, and our rating of 105 only ranks her sixth of twelve.

Mr T A Halford (2)
John Patrick Ryan 1/12
Winless in her last six, Run For The Border has finished seventh and sixth in her last two outings, and a quick turnaround after running just a day ago adds to the doubts, while 157 lb is a big burden. On the plus side, she was second three starts back, and our rating of 95 matches her official mark but ranks her 11th of 12.

Norman Lee 0/4
Strong Contender finished fifth last time out after a third two starts back, and she won three and four starts back, but she's been beaten in that run since and ranks only ninth of 12 on our figures. Carrying 156 lb off 94, she has run over today's trip and going, yet the weight is a lot to ask.

Ranked last of 12 on our figures, Duce Bigalow is hard to fancy at 151 lb, though he's been in the frame in four of his last five, including a third last time out and a win two starts back. He has run over today's trip and returns after 20 days.

Three County Star is winless in his last six, finishing eighth last time out and a sixth two starts back, with a pulled up four runs ago, so he is hard to fancy. He has run over today's trip and going and is fresh enough after 18 days, but 147 lb is a big ask.
