13:50 Cork Maiden Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

This looks a good opportunity for SIR ARGUS, with Kieran Callaghan taking a valuable 7lb off. A consistent sort, he was let down by some sloppy jumping on his penultimate start at Punchestown, finishing second to stable companion Haxo. He again filled the runner-up spot on his most recent outing at Thurles, with subsequent winners So Des Flos and Karuma Grey in behind. Misty's Gift was fourth in that Thurles contest and he reopposes now. Patricks Hill has some solid form to his name and is given second preference. Placed four times from eight starts, he finished second of 20 behind the smart Cool Survivor when last seen at Punchestown in October. Fantasio D'alene disappointed on his return to action at Limerick last month but is capable of much more and it'll be interesting to see how he fares. Japers Jack, Easy Fella and Mister Bo are others for the shortlist.

SIR ARGUS is proving expensive to follow but this looks a good opportunity for him to open his account in this sphere. Misty's Gift rates the main threat ahead of Mister Bo.

Sir Argus has an edge on Misty's Gift on Thurles running and should confirm that form, but preference is for JAPERS JACK (nap)

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

Kieran Callaghan enjoyed one of his finest hours at this venue in November when partnering Captain Kangaroo to victory in the Cork National. The promising young conditional has again been among the winners in recent times and his 7lb allowance is certainly no hinderance to the prospects of THE BIG CHAP. Paul Flynn's charge hasn't been out since August, and whilst that might be viewed as a negative, it could be that the relatively unexposed six-year-old will return a horse capable of climbing the ladder at least a little more. He might be a chaser down the road, but from a rating of 107 here, one could envisage his prominent racing style carrying him a long way on the road towards a top billing. From a handicapping perspective Stealthy Tom must be taken very seriously, while The Toothpicker is another interesting contender on debut for John McConnell. Last time out winners Bal De Rio and Crowsatedappletart will justifiably have their supporters in this competitive heat.

STEALTHY TOM is on a good mark back over hurdles judged on his recent form over fences and is fancied to take advantage. Crowsatedappletart won in good style at Limerick 11 days ago and is next best ahead of Light Parade and The Big Chap.

Crowsatedappletart will be difficult to keep at bay but the handicap debutant JOHNNY CIGAR could be a little bit ahead of his mark

FRANCOIS looks nicely treated on a mark of 112 and he might be able to take this open contest. He has yet to make a significant impact over fences but performed with credit on his penultimate start, finishing third to Saldier at Thurles. He was since well beaten on his handicap debut at Leopardstown but should come on plenty for that experience. Minx Tiara is given second preference, with Daniel King taking a valuable 5lb off. The likeable five-time winner was headed close home in a Grade B contest at Gowran on her last start and it'll come as no surprise if she goes a place better now. Take All also hit the crossbar recently and he is sure to have plenty of supporters, while All Those Years and Johngus are other leading contenders. The latter was a wide-margin winner at Clonmel last month and will carry a featherweight here, with Kieran Callaghan claiming 7lb.

ALL THOSE YEARS has low mileage for a horse of his age and he took well to fences when making a winning chase debut in a Limerick maiden last month. With improvement likely now pitched into a handicap in this sphere, he looks the way to go. Johngus got the job done at the twelfth attempt over fences at Clonmel but he comes with risks given his error-prone jumping and bigger threats may be posed by Take All and Minx Tiara.

A fascinating heat. MARVEL FAN might seem up against it in a race of this nature but she has some upside for Tony Martin, who runs two

Jack Bennett's home-bred DANCING AFTER DARK has decent prospects of supplementing her Liscarroll success from just over three weeks back. The substance of that win can hardly be underestimated as she slammed the geldings Desert Cave, Imperial Eddie and Top Question by huge margins, as just the four completed the course in a winners of one. A daughter of Mountain High, the selection hasn't had an entirely smooth run through her career thus far, not coming up to expectations more than once. However, on a going day she's clearly a decent performer, and as a seven-year-old with few enough miles on the clock there's certainly the capacity for more to come. Dancing After Dark's rider, Mikey O'Connor, was aboard The Dollarlady when that one triumphed last time, and she's worthy of consideration this time too, now in the more than capable hands of Finny Maguire. Ma Hoey is likely to have plenty of supporters after her comfortable win at Durrow last month, while Glenbeg Express, Lar's Lass and Carrig Wells are others for the shortlist.

DANCING AFTER DARK won a point by a wide margin recently and could be the answer to this tricky hunter chase. Carrig Wells is a danger having finished runner-up at Thurles last month and Lar's Lass is worth considering under an experienced rider.

DANCING AFTER DARK shaped very well in a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle last year and hacked up at Liscarroll. She looks hard to oppose

AHAKNOWYERSELF made the breakthrough at Belclare last month, with the reopposing Tohellorconnacht back in fourth. A son of Scorpion, the selection since ran a fine race on his track debut at Downpatrick last weekend. He finished second to Shantou Show there and he should be able to go a place better now, in what looks a weaker contest. Dundaniel is the only dual winner in the line-up. He came home eight-lengths to the good at Bandon on his most recent start and looks a leading contender here. Boss Robin impressed on debut at Comea, but disappointed at Nenagh when turned out again quickly. Given a break since, he should be able to make an impact. Iron Allen is another worthy of consideration. A half-brother to Enjoy Dallen, he was successful at Corbeagh House in December, falling at the first on his most recent outing.

AHAKNOWYERSELF required 10 goes to get off the mark between the flags but he made a promising start under Rules when second at Downpatrick and a repeat of that may enable him to go one place better. Boss Robin and Dundaniel look the chief threats.

DUNDANIEL comes here in better shape than most, winning a Bandon 'Winners Of One' by 8l's on his most recent start, and can go in again

ULTIMATE OPTIMIST is a particularly exciting hunter chaser among an excellent crop that David Christie has. The seven-year-old Fame And Glory gelding has been on a winning spree since May last year incorporating three point-to-points and two hunters' chases (by healthy margins). He is very hard to oppose in the current mood. Somptueux was a 137-rated chaser this time last year. He is entitled to come on from his runner-up berth in a Lisronagh point-to-point in February and gets first-time cheekpieces. Grange Island brings solid form to the contest, but found another Christie inmate much too hot in Gowran Park.

ULTIMATE OPTIMIST is firmly one to be positive about in hunters and can make it 3-3 in this sphere. Somptueux and Russian Diamond are interesting alternatives.

Held in high regard, ULTIMATE OPTIMIST has turned into a real winning machine and he can continue the trend here

WHAT'S UP DARLING has to be taken seriously on track debut for Gordon Elliott. He won a point-to-point by 13 lengths in December for John Costello and subsequent winners 'between the flags' have come out of that race. He is a brother of a four-time winner. Marv Michael was also successful in a point-to-point and commences his track career for Henry de Bromhead. He is a danger. The trainer has a strong hand as he also saddles point-to-point runner-up Doonbeg Don. Eugene O'Sullivan's Beltown Lake rallied to justify favouritism in a point-to-point in February and has his chance.

WHAT'S UP DARLING clearly impressed when a ready winner of his point given powerful connections went to £280,000 to acquire him and he rates the percentage call on Rules. The Henry de Bromhead-trained pair Doonbeg Don and Marv Michael also make plenty of appeal on paper.

The manner in which the £280,000 purchase WHAT'S UP DARLING brushed aside the fav at Quakerstown was convincing and sets the standard

Yeats mare STRAIGHT HOME made a bright start to her point-to-point career when winning on debut at Kildorrery. She was in charge before the last and was left clear when her main rival fell. There should be more to come from her. Miss Oreo's third place in a Borris House point-to-point last month has a solid look to it. The winner has since finished third in a handicap hurdle and the runner-up has landed a point-to-point. Miss Drussell enjoyed herself on testing ground at Ballycrystal when winning a mares' maiden point-to-point by an eased down 20 lengths. That was a big step forward and she has to be respected.

This probably won't be a deep race with MISS OREO the tentative call given she's displayed ability in points, winning once and placed last month. Straight Home also arrives on the back of a win between the flags and she's a potential danger.

This makes almost no punting appeal. The declarations cut up badly and STRAIGHT HOME might be a rare bumper winner for Timothy Townend

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.
