LTO Selection:

13:58 Cork Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the information provided, 4.5/1 Dutch Gold and 5.5/1 Walsingham seem like strong contenders. 4.5/1 Dutch Gold finished second in his last race and is expected to do even better this time around. 5.5/1 Walsingham also had a creditable fourth place finish in his last race and is respected by the analysts. However, it's important to note that there may be other factors that could affect the race outcome, such as the track conditions and form of the horse on the day.

SEA GARDENS showed potential on debut and can turn around form with Walsingham. By Siyouni and out of a Group 3-winning half-sister to Lope De Vega, he was beaten a half-length having headed Walsingham in the closing stages of that Leopardstown race, but ran a little green and should improve. Walsingham is reliable, but is vulnerable to smart types. Well-bred The Black Tiger flopped on debut 16 days ago and while reported to have 'coughed a few times' post-race, he was also reported to have been struck into, so should leave that form well behind. Dutch Gold was capable last year but faces a stiff task on reappearance.

SEA GARDENS shaped well amidst inexperience on debut and, with improvement likely 6 months on, he's preferred to Dutch Gold, who was an encouraging second on his final juvenile outing. Walsingham is another one to consider and The Black Tiger is expected to leave a disappointing behind.

SEA GARDENS was a close 4th in a Leopardstown maiden that's worked out well and his yard can get one ready for their seasonal return

LTO Selection:

14:33 Cork Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, 6.5/1 Patrick Street seems to have a good chance of doing well as they were a neck second in their last race and have a good track record as a course winner. Another horse that may have potential is 10/1 Khafaaq, who has slipped in the weights and has a visor back on for their seasonal return. However, it is important to note that horse racing is unpredictable and any of the horses listed could potentially win on the day.

SKONTONOVSKI has been well beaten on recent runs but is a six-time winner who is ideally suited by a mile, with drying ground a help. His Dundalk form this winter is useful and while well beaten at Bellewstown, was unsuited by heavy ground and has dropped to a workable mark under his 5lb claimer. Asisaid beat Patrick Street to win at Leopardstown, but disappointed badly since and is now tried in first-time cheekpieces, with both horses being well beaten by the selection on one previous clash each. Sondheim is capable at this level, but was well held on his most recent start and most of his form is at seven furlongs. Dual Dundalk winner Leclerc has yet to win on turf and was bogged down on heavy at Leopardstown, but will appreciate drying ground. Pallasmore Lass seemed to stay this mile last September, but is nonetheless an 18-race maiden.

PALLASMORE LASS has made an encouraging start for Paul Flynn and can gain a deserved breakthrough success off an easing mark. Patrick Street is feared most on the back of his recent Leopardstown second, with handily-weighted duo Khafaaq and Asisaid completing the shortlist.

He can be slowly away but PATRICK STREET might be worth chancing after a big run in similar conditions at Leopardstown last time

(1) Ottilien 1/1, Smart filly who signed off for David Menuisier with good third of 10 to Sea La Rosa in Prix de Royallieu at Longchamp (13.9f, soft). Since changed hands for 600,000 euros. The form choice.
LTO Selection:

15:08 Cork Listed 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, 1/1 Ottilien seems to be the form choice and a strong contender for the race. Term of Endearment also has potential, having finished a clear second in a listed race. 25/1 Star Image and 16/1 Zola Sakura could also make their presence felt, having performed creditably in recent listed races.

OTTILIEN is a high-class recruit for Joseph O'Brien and can give away a 3lb penalty and win. A sister to Group 1 winner Morandi and bought for 600,000 euros last December, her UK and French form is strong and concluded last year with a Group 1 runner-up effort in the Prix de Royallieu. Her lack of a recent run is a concern, but she is ground-versatile and likes this distance. Term Of Endearment was quite progressive last year and seemed to improve at this distance at Naas in October. She holds Moracana, Venice Biennale and Irish Lullaby on previous meetings and can give the selection most to worry about. Annervillle was well beaten in recent runs at Meydan, but finished second in last year's renewal (Venice Biennale fourth) and is race-fit. Star Image and Zola Sakura are closely matched on heavy-ground form last November and while both are ground-versatile, Zola Sakura is race-fit. Icykel steps up from a maiden win.

OTTILIEN signed off for David Menuisier with a good third in the Group 1 Prix de Royallieu at Longchamp so looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to make a winning start for Joseph O'Brien here. Term of Endearment still has few miles on the clock and is next on the list on her return, with Star Image another to consider for place purposes.

Third in a Group 1 on Arc weekend and an expensive purchase subsequently, OTTILIEN can make a winning start for new connections

LTO Selection:

15:43 Cork Maiden 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the information provided, 1.75/1 Nation's Call and 3/1 Sea Legend seem to have the best chances of doing well as they have both placed second in their previous races and have some favorable conditions in their upcoming race (1.75/1 Nation's Call having conceded first run and 3/1 Sea Legend having a tongue strap on for the first time). 11/1 Mr King and 50/1 Firm Belief may also have a shot at improvement as they are both lightly raced and have some positive changes in their upcoming race (such as a tongue strap for 11/1 Mr King and potential improvement for 50/1 Firm Belief).

INTELLOTTO showed promise last year. He was a little short of room on his Curragh debut and then ran well in a smart Punchestown maiden, with plenty of winners and placed-horses finishing behind. Irish Derby-entered, he will be suited by this distance. The third-placed Punchestown horse subsequently beat Sea Legend at Killarney in October and Sea Legend runs in a first-time tongue-tie on reappearance. The well-bred Nation's Call was beaten by a smart winner at Navan, with both finishing well clear of the remainder (Sixpack fourth). He holds Epsom and Irish Derby entries and has a race-fitness advantage. Squire Danagher was well enough held on debut at Gowran but nonetheless showed promise and can improve, while Kingswood ran well in a lesser maiden at Tipperary last year. Mr King runs in a tongue-tie having disappointed on debut.

NATION'S CALL upped his game and found only one too good at Navan on reappearance and a performance of similar merit should be enough to see him open his account. Intellotto and Sea Legend look the main dangers, although Sixpack is open to improvement.

INTELLOTTO was only narrowly denied last time and the Irish Derby entrant should relish this step up in trip

16:18 Cork Stakes 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based solely on the summary provided, it is difficult to accurately predict which horse will do well. However, 2/1 Bertinelli seems to have a strong potential with one win out of two races and coming from a top stable. 3.5/1 Lark In The Mornin is also worth watching as they won their debut race and are expected to improve.

LARK IN THE MORNIN shaped with promise when winning on debut and can step forward. From a good German pedigree and out of a half-sister to a German Derby winner, he beat a subsequent dual winner at Listowel and should improve considerably. Alder was Group 2-placed last year and while a smart type, the selection is open to more improvement. Bertinelli showed promise on debut and while workmanlike in winning at Dundalk, has an excellent pedigree and should improve with racing. Serious Challenge is held by Alder on Leopardstown form while Starry Heavens, out of an unraced half-sister to Alpha Centauri, was well held at Group 3 level last October and faces a tough task.

ALDER quicky developed into a very useful performer last year and sets a decent standard for the rest to aim at. Last autumn's maiden winners Bertinelli and Lark In The Morning surely have more to offer and can fight it out for minor honours.

Both Bertinelli and Lark In The Mornin are open to improvement but ALDER (nap), third in a Group 2 last term, sets the bar high

LTO Selection:

16:50 Cork Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, 4/1 Dubawi Spectre appears to be the most likely to do well, having previously demonstrated a creditable second place in a recent handicap race. 4.5/1 Matt Connor also shows promise, having achieved a very good third place in a recent handicap race. The remaining horses have been inconsistent in their past performances or lack sufficient information to make a reliable prediction.

DUBAWI SPECTRE is a six-race maiden, but he has form and bumped into a well-handicapped winner in February. By Dubawi and out of a Group 3 winner, the winner of his Dundalk run is now rated 9lb higher and he seemed to stay 1m2f. Evening's Empire beat the selection at Listowel last September but while race-fit, doesn't appear as progressive. Matt Connor ran well from his rating at Dundalk recently and further progression is possible at this trip. Givemefive may have been bogged down on heavy ground when well backed at Bellewstown but has plenty to prove from 1lb lower and without his rider's 10lb claim, running in cheekpieces. Eastern Legend and Union Flag have some form in smart maidens and debut in handicaps, while Western Cape was third in a recent claimer.

This represents a good opportunity for DUBAWI SPECTRE, who performed with credit in 2 starts at Dundalk earlier this year, latterly just touched off on his first attempt at this trip. A 2 lb nudge for that near miss looks fair and he makes plenty of appeal. Matt Connor left his 2-y-o form behind when a close third on his handicap bow over a mile on return at Dundalk and shapes as though this trip is just what he wants. He is feared most ahead of potential improver Union Flag.

It was a career best from MATT CONNOR on his handicap debut last time and he shaped like he may improve again for this longer trip

LTO Selection:

17:23 Cork Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, 12/1 Cold Steel and 12/1 Giladah are the most promising horses. 12/1 Cold Steel has two wins and a good performance in his latest race despite being blocked, while 12/1 Giladah has a good track record with three wins and a course victory. However, other horses such as 2.5/1 Vellner and 3.5/1 Mashhoor cannot be completely ruled out, as they have shown some potential in their previous races.

SMOOTH TOM finished behind Timourid and New Hill at Leopardstown but might turn the form around, having encountered traffic. Suited by conditions, the selection is 2lb worse off with Timourid (whose rider claims 5lb) and 3lb better off with New Hill, but with a smooth passage, could beat both. Mashhoor was probably unsuited by testing conditions in the Lincoln and will appreciate both drying ground and this extra distance. Cold Steel met some trouble in-running at Dundalk recently and while a dual all-weather winner, could be suited by reverting to the turf, with further progression possible. Giladah finished sixth in a Hanover Listed race in October and has claims on her best form, which was over slightly shorter. Vellner debuts in handicaps but is long absent and reappears in a first-time tongue-tie. Top-weight Sionnach Eile reappears over a distance which is short of his best.

COLD STEEL didn't enjoy the best of runs when sixth of 12 back from a break at Dundalk last month and, granted better luck here, he could prove a tough nut to crack off the same mark returned to turf. Mashhoor has contested two ultra-competitive handicaps subsequent to winning a fairly valuable one at the Curragh last spring and he looks dangerous, while Timourid was a good second on his reappearance at Leopardstown and also has claims, along with Giladah and handicap debutant Vellner.

Competitive stuff but perhaps TIMOURID can confirm Leopardstown form with New Hill and Smooth Tom and score under Jamie Powell

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.
