16:40 Cork Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

1st: 3/1 (7) DESERT HAVEN 2nd: 2.75/1 (9) FIRST GENTLEMAN 3rd: 8.5/1 (12) TWO STARS

FIRST GENTLEMAN ran well on debut. A half-brother to a Group 3 winner, he has a length to find with Desert Haven on Curragh form but was briefly checked close home. The pair reoppose on drier ground and while Desert Haven is dependable and ground-versatile, the lightly-raced selection is open to more progression and could be better suited by good ground. Roaming Star was fourth in that Curragh race while Two Stars raced green, having missed the break, on debut over course and distance in a lesser maiden last month. Capital Guarantee is held by Desert Haven on Naas form while Awesome Spirit ran well over a mile at Dundalk last November but drops back markedly in distance, on reappearance. Emorcee was well held by a capable winner at Dundalk and drops back in distance.

FIRST GENTLEMAN produced a promising first effort when third in a Curragh maiden over this trip 3 weeks ago and, open to improvement for his good yard, he's fancied to build on that and make a bold bid to make it second time lucky. Desert Haven, who was narrowly in front of the selection latest, boasts plenty of experience and is a big threat. Capital Guarantee, Roaming Star and Las Cuatro are others fancied to be thereabouts.

Desert Haven was only narrowly denied again last time but FIRST GENTLEMAN wasn't far behind him and the latter has more upside

17:15 Cork Listed 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

1st: 3/1 (11) MAUIEWOWIE 2nd: 11/1 (8) FIX YOU 3rd: 3.33/1 (2) TREASURE TROVE

TREASURE TROVE was twice narrowly beaten by Mauiewowie last year and while 3lb worse off, the pair today meet over a fractionally longer distance. The selection has a length and a quarter and a short-head (racing from level weights) to find on two previous meetings with this race being 110 yards further than Mauiewowie has raced over, whereas Treasure Trove has already won a 6f Group 3 race. Lady Tilbury is a course and distance winner but is held by the selection and Mauiewowie on previous form. Ocean Jewel was Listed-runner-up last year and has place claims, reverting back fractionally in distance. Basil Martini was a Group 3 winner last year but was well beaten at the Breeders Cup in November and reappears over an inadequate distance. UK raider Fix You steps up from a 77-rated handicap win while recent debut winner Amazon Lady has a tough task but can improve.

MAUIEWOWIE ended 2022 on the up with a listed success at the Curragh and Ger Lyons' filly is fancied to return in style here at the chief expense of Fairyhouse listed runner-up Ocean Jewel, who also looks to have better days ahead of her this term. Alice Haynes' challenger Fix You and Treasure Trove complete the shortlist.

Some nice prospects in here, most notably MAUIEWOWIE who shades the vote after a Listed win at the back end of her 2yo campaign

17:50 Cork Maiden 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, 5.5/1 (4) ZONA VERDE and 20/1 (2) ASEAN are expected to do well. The third spot is harder to predict, but 25/1 (7) JUNGLE DANCE and 40/1 (10) NIKKI SWANGO are possibilities.

BATED MOON is speedily bred, with Declan McDonogh doing a light enough weight. By a sprint stallion, she cost just 14,000 euros as a yearling but her half-sister was a five furlongs juvenile winner and is out of a winning dam. Colin Keane is notable on Launch, which was registered to have been owned by Amo Racing until May 1. She was a 50,000 dollars yearling purchase, is out of an American stakes-placed dam and is the first Irish or UK runner from a speedy stallion. Nemonte is out of a Listed-placed dam and by a promising first-season sire, so could be capable. Givemethebeatboys was an 11,000 euro yearling and is out of a winning half-sister to Group 3 winning stayer Lismore. Zona Verda, Jungle Dance and One Cool Cookie each has ability but are vulnerable to capable newcomers. Seti is out of an unplaced half-sister to a Group 3 winner while Nikki Swango's pedigree contains European winners.

Little form to go on so the market should reveal plenty in this juvenile maiden. BATED MOON appeals on paper and is in excellent hands so Joseph O'Brien's Bated Breath filly is taken to go in at the first time of asking. Navan runner-up Zona Verde appeals most of those with racecourse experience and is next on the list ahead of another O'Brien newcomer in the shape of Nemonte.

It was an encouraging start to ZONA VERDE's career when chasing home a Ballydoyle colt at Navan last month and she can progress

18:25 Cork Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that are predicted to do well and are likely to finish in the top three are: 1. 4/1 (12) ALL LIES AHEAD 2. 8.5/1 (10) BLAIRMAYNE 3. 8/1 (9) TOSEN WISH Other horses that could potentially perform well include 18/1 (4) GUSTAVUS WESTON, 14/1 (5) FINAL VOYAGE, and Merits consideration. The two reserves, 10/1 (24) VERHOYEN and 16/1 (23) MIGHT AND MERCY, have an outside chance of placing, but it is uncertain if they will get a run.

The lightly-raced TOSEN WISH is interesting on handicap debut, albeit in a wide-open race. He returned following a 469-day absence when defeating race-fit capable handicappers in a first-time tongue-tie at Dundalk and can continue progressing on today's suitably sound surface. Group 3 winner Markaz Paname carries top weight and won from a 5lb lower rating in 2022. Cheers Again was well enough held at Limerick but is a progressive four-year-old who seems ground-versatile and has form over course and distance. Similarly progressive All Lies Ahead has good recent handicap form (beating Loingseoir last month) and is suited by this distance but would prefer easy ground. Miss Mirabell was well held in March's Lincoln and runs over this distance for the first time but is ground-versatile. Stablemate Final Voyage won the valuable Vase Mile at Lingfield last month but is a specialist all-weather performer who would prefer a mile. Blairmayne's best form is at 6f.

ALL LIES AHEAD went down only to a very progressive filly at Gowran last time and can show she's still ahead of the handicapper. Tosen Wish is another lightly-raced type who is likely capable of even better and is feared most. Cheers Again, last year's runner-up Blairmayne and the reappearing Ice Cold In Alex are a few of may others who could go well in this very competitive Premier Handicap.

As ever, Ado McGuinness throws the kitchen sink at a valuable handicap and he might have the answer in NO MORE PORTER

19:00 Cork Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to predict which horse will do well. However, some horses to consider for the top three positions are 7.5/1 (7) POET'S PRIDE, 3.33/1 (1) MACADAM'S ROCK, and 12/1 (5) BARNHILL ROSE.

MACADAM'S ROCK's two wins have been on the all-weather but reverts to turf having found his niche at this distance. He has top weight but sneaks in rated 65, having run well from 66 on recent runs and has placed form on good ground. Cherry Bloom is 9lb better off with Blue Wood for a nose all-weather defeat last month. Initially rated 77, she has strong claims over a suitable distance and likes good ground. Blue Wood is respected but does face a tougher assignment without Alan Persse's 7lb claim on this occasion.

MACADAM'S ROCK arrives on the back of a string of consistent efforts on all-weather in recent months, running well to finish third in a stronger race over this trip 6 weeks ago and he looks sure to go well again back on turf in his present groove. The Cola Brasil, Blue Wood and Cherry Bloom head up the dangers.

It's probably worth upgrading POET'S PRIDE's latest effort at Dundalk over 5f and he looks well treated back up in trip

19:35 Cork Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that may do well and potentially finish in the top 3 are 7.5/1 (2) ANY DREAM WILL DO, 6.5/1 (14) MERE ACCOUNTANT, and 8.5/1 (8) SECRET SPY. 7.5/1 (2) ANY DREAM WILL DO has had a recent win and is in good form, 6.5/1 (14) MERE ACCOUNTANT has won a maiden race and could be well-in for their handicap debut, and 8.5/1 (8) SECRET SPY has shown promise in their two maiden runs and could improve in their handicap debut. However, as there are also a number of reserves in the race, it is possible that other horses may also be strong contenders.

All of JERED MADDOX's wins have been over shorter distances but twice ran well at a mile earlier this year. Five of his six wins have been on the all-weather but is suited by fast ground and on his latest run at this distance finished second to Mulgrave, which subsequently completed a hat-trick. Secret Spy debuts in handicaps on his third run and is unexposed. Out of a winning half-sister to a Group 2 winner and a sibling to two capable staying winners, he should progress with racing although might eventually prefer further. Any Dream Will Do and Eloquent Arthur appeal most of the remainder.

There's likely more to come from SECRET SPY now making a quick switch to handicaps so he's the suggestion in this very open apprentice event. Mere Accountant has a similar profile to the selection and is second choice ahead of Jered Maddox and Starting Monday.

A chance is taken on three-time AW winner Giuseppe Cassioli, gelded since last season when he ran well on turf a couple of times

20:10 Cork Maiden 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

1st: 1.38/1 (7) FARNBOROUGH 2nd: 4/1 (5) CANUTE 3rd: 9/1 (14) SQUIRE DANAGHER

Ballydoyle have declared FARNBOROUGH and Canute with the pair separated by three lengths at Leopardstown. The selection is capable and being by Galileo, will be suited by stepping up in distance on today's sounder surface. Canute ran in first-time blinkers then and while not the quickest, shaped like he would appreciate this distance. Young Ireland, Group 2-placed last September, has bumped into some high class rivals in 10 defeats and while race-fit and proven over this distance, remains vulnerable to smarter types. Warrior Lion was reported to be post-race normal following a run in a smart Curragh maiden last August but has a tough task on reappearance. Squire Danagher showed promise at Gowran but reappears in a smart maiden. Sorrento Point was well backed in an easy-ground maiden on debut last October and while well held, can improve. Hijo De La Luna is by a soft-ground sire but nonetheless may have been unsuited by heavy at Navan.

A big field but Aidan O'Brien looks to hold a strong hand and his Galileo colt FARNBOROUGH is fancied to build on his reappearance Leopardstown second now he steps up in tirp and open his account. Stablemate Canute also has his first go over 1m2f and is feared most with improvement on the cards now his stamina is drawn out more. Young Ireland and Warrior Lion appeal as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.

Ballydoyle colts FARNBOROUGH (nap) and Canute clash again over an extra 2f and the former can confirm Leopardstown form

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.
