LTO Selection:

12:12 Cork Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Queen Of Seduction starts out over hurdles at a realistic level and with her stamina virtually assured from her time on the Flat, a big run from the five-year-old is highly likely. However, there are dangers aplenty and, with that in mind, it may be worth siding with the ex-French PAGGANE, who showed some ability on her debut run for Willie Mullins in a mares' maiden at Navan in November. Sure to be wiser, she can make her previous experience count. Will Wilde and Beggars Rock are a couple of others to consider.

Willie Mullins' fair ex-French Flat scorer PAGGANE made a promising start in this sphere after 19 months off when fifth at Navan and can build on it now to open his hurdling account. Will Wilde is another with better days ahead of him and rates a big threat though on the back of his debut Naas third. D Art D Art, Queen of Seduction and Leading Lion appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

D ART D ART may be able to reverse form with Will Wilde with the benefit of a run under his belt and he may resume progress on heavy

12:47 Cork Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

FLAMBOROUGH was arguably too keen for his own good when failing to land a telling blow in a Listed handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse but, back in these calmer waters, he sets a reasonable standard. A winner over C&D on his penultimate start, this represents a significant drop in class for the five-year-old, who is taken to make it two from two at this venue. Starman is an obvious threat on the back his Limerick success just eight days ago, while El Champo is also dangerous to underestimate.

A tight affair. EL CHAMPO shaped as if still in good form when fourth on his Limerick chase debut over Christmas and might be able to provide Philip Rothwell with a second successive win in this contest. Striking didn't figure at Leopardstown over Christmas but had run well at Punchestown prior to that and is respected with Jack Kennedy stepping in for the ride. Last week's Limerick scorer Starman is another who should have a say.

Not much between these on paper, but FLAMBOROUGH makes plenty of appeal as a C&D winner who was generally reliable during 2023

LTO Selection:

13:22 Cork Maiden Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

LARGY HILL made a jumping debut full of promise when second behind a hot favourite and subsequent Grade 2 runner-up over 2m4f at Navan and he should come on plenty for that experience, so he is likely to prove very hard to beat. Zaidi has shown enough ability in his five hurdling starts to suggest he should be very competitive in a maiden of this nature and he might prove the main threat. Of the remainder, Jasmin De Cotte makes the most appeal after his sixth at Cork in November.

LARGY HILL shaped well when runner-up to a useful prospect on his hurdling debut at Navan in November and, with the step up in trip expected to suit judged on his pedigree, he's the obvious choice to go one better. Zaidi and Kinturk Kalanisi are considered the main threats.

The standard is set by Zaidi but preference is for LARGY HILL whose form is working out and he should improve stepping up in trip

Two inconclusive performances since return from a break, unwise to discount his chance.
LTO Selection:

13:57 Cork Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

CATO'S REVENGE went clear to score by four and a half lengths in heavy conditions on his handicap debut at Limerick over Christmas. The seven-year-old now has a 12lb higher rating to contend with, but he should have more to offer and looks the one to beat. Abbeydale returned from a 262-day break to acquit himself well in fourth over 2m at Thurles and could relish this extra distance. Extrapolation is another to consider after his third at Punchestown on New Year's Eve.

EXTRAPOLATION was largely progressive as he scored 3 times last year and, following a solid third at Punchestown (on back of 3 months off) 6 days ago, it would come as no surprise to see him go well again back up in trip. Limerick-scorer Cato's Revenge is a big threat, with Abbeydale another to consider with the step back up in trip expected to suit.

Gordon Elliott's runner ABBEYDALE probably has more potential for improvement than any of the others and should be suited by the trip

LTO Selection:

14:32 Cork Maiden Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

NOBLE BLUE may have disappointed when a well-fancied favourite at Tramore in November, but he is better judged on his previous second at Gowran Park behind a subsequent Grade 2 winner. That form looks the strongest on offer and he can get off the mark at the main expense of recent surprise Limerick hurdles scorer Aghmorough Bridge and Nephin Beg, whose only career triumph came over timber here in December 2022. Iron Allen and Knocknagappagh are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

NOBLE BLUE disappointed at Tramore last time bearing in mind his chase debut promise but it possibly came too soon just 17 days on and is worth another chance in what looks a winnable maiden. Jet Setting Johnny showed improved form on his second go chasing when third at Clonmel and is next best ahead of recent maiden hurdle winner Iron Allen.

JET SETTING JOHNNY has made a promising start to life over fences and the form of his 3rd at Clonmel last month is working out

LTO Selection:

15:07 Cork Handicap Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

STREET VALUE was an impressive winner of the Porterstown over 3m5f at Fairyhouse a month ago and merits plenty of respect once again, despite the drop in trip and a 7lb rise in the ratings. R'evelyn Pleasure also won well last time - at Limerick over Christmas - and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Baldur's Gate and Old Soul are others who could make the frame.

BALDUR'S GATE impressed with the way he travelled for a long way when third at Limerick last week, suggesting he could still be on the up. Last year's winner Weihnachts might have been aimed for this race again and is feared most, particularly if the market speaks in his favour.

Despite being 3lb out of the handicap WEIHNACHTS may be able to repeat last year's victory in this race for his in-form trainer

LTO Selection:

15:42 Cork NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

KNOCKARINA defied 80/1 odds when improving from her Galway debut to finish third at Fairyhouse last month and the daughter of Champs Elysees, who has proven herself on testing ground, is taken to get off the mark on this occasion. Familiar Dreams boasts plenty of experience and enters calculations, although she may prove vulnerable for win purposes. Cathedral Rocks is an interesting newcomer, with her dam an unraced full-sister to Irish Derby winner Trading Leather, and completes the shortlist.

CATHEDRAL ROCKS represents a shrewd yard so, while her pedigree doesn't provide any clues, she might be the way to go in a thin race. Familiar Dreams has the best form on show, so she's a player if able to bounce back, and Made A Chroi is another interesting debutant.

This isn't a deep race and it could be a good opportunity for FAMILIAR DREAMS who was knocking on the door all last season

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
