16:05 Cork Maiden 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

NEW THEORY ran a lovely race on her debut at Navan and can go one better now. She came to dispute inside the final furlong then before losing out by a length-and-a-half to Camille Pissarro in the finish. With that run under her belt she looks the one to beat. Sir Yoshi was also second on his debut, when losing out by half a length to Proudly Yours at Dundalk last month. He was a touch green then and is entitled to improve. The Joseph O'Brien-trained newcomer, Barton Key, is one to note in the market. He is a half-brother to decent handicapper Apache Outlaw.

NEW THEORY ran a cracker on debut in a deep renewal of a Navan maiden that has produced pattern-level performers in the last 2 years and looks the one to be with. Sir Yoshi probably should have won first time up at Dundalk and has to be the danger. Newcomer Rock N Roll Rocket is worth a look.

SIR YOSHI looked like a sprinter to follow when only narrowly denied over the trip on AW and any progress may make him hard to beat

16:40 Cork Listed 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Better ground and a drop in trip should suit CHERRY BLOSSOM. The No Nay Never filly had some very strong juvenile form, finishing second in Group 2 company and a fine fourth in the Cheveley Park Stakes. She failed to make much impression over seven in heavy ground on her return at Leopardstown and it looks significant that connections revert to sprinting now. Navassa Island ran a solid race when fifth to Givemethebeatboys on her return at Navan just under two weeks ago and could be the danger now. Heart Of Darkness was value for a bit more than her winning margin in a Dundalk maiden last month and is a potential improver.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and CHERRY BLOSSOM gets the vote having not enjoyed the rub of the green when seventh in Leopardstown's 1000 Guineas Trial. Navassa Island could emerge as the chief threat to Aidan O'Brien's filly, with Gavin Cromwell's new recruit Gunzburg another to consider.

It may be worth taking a chance on the fitness of MAJESTIC BEAUTY who looked promising last year and may kick on for her new yard

17:15 Cork Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

EMERALD BANNER had three good runner-up efforts last season and may be able to make a winning return here. The Starspangledbanner filly ran into some smart sorts, including subsequent Group 3 winner Prime Art, and looks the form choice off her mark of 86. Annie Edson Taylor was placed on both her starts last term and that form looks fairly solid. She looks like an obvious danger. Monasterboice already has a run under his belt, finishing a close third at the Curragh last month, and he also has to be on the shortlist, while Grand City Hall is another with placed form that has to come into calculations.

A case can be made for a few of these but MONASTERBOICE advertised his well-being when a very good recent Curragh third so edges the vote from Emerald Banner, who holds excellent form claims if shrugging off a lesser effort at Dundalk last time out. Returning duo Annie Edson Taylor and Grand City Hall both command plenty of respect too.

This can go the way of EMERALD BANNER who ran some cracking races as a juvenile and the yard can get one ready for a return run

17:50 Cork Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

JANOOBI may be able to defy a hike for his comeback win at Naas in March. The Night Of Thunder gelding overcame a serious injury to get back on the track then and ran out a very cosy winner. He was good value for the subsequent 10lb rise and is still an unexposed horse despite being five. Stag Night has been in good form this season and is just 2lb higher having lost out narrowly at Naas last time. He looks like an obvious danger. Tango Flare heads the weights and had a couple of nice runs in stakes company last season. He could make a bold bid despite carrying 10 stone.

JANOOBI is still lightly raced for his age and, having returned from a lengthy absence to score emphatically at Naas in March, he's capable of defying a rise. Stag Night and Earls both arrive in top form and should give the selection plenty to think about.

It was an easy success for JANOOBI on his return to action and the handicapper hasn't gone overboard with a 10lb rise

18:25 Cork Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SEA EAGLE ran a nice race on his first outing for Ger O'Leary at the Curragh last month and may be able to step forward now. He stayed on when a close fourth to Zephron then, over seven, and should appreciate stepping up again in trip. His sole win in England came on the all-weather so a better surface now may also help. Andalusian Star is unexposed on just her third career start and commands respect. She won a Dundalk maiden back in February and an initial mark of 76 here doesn't look harsh. May Night was also a winner last time, scoring over in Chelmsford in late March, and he also has to come into calculations.

Plenty are in with a shout. MR KING teed himself well for this when making a promising return here a fortnight ago so edges the verdict. Handicap-debutante Andalusian Star is feared most on the back of her Dundalk victory, although Starting Monday and May Night enter calculations too in this competitive handicap along with Spanish Tenor and Sea Eagle.

The drop to a mile is not sure to suit MR KING but he went well for a long way over 1m2f here last month and these are shallower waters

19:00 Cork Maiden 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

PSALM may come forward a bit from his seasonal debut here a fortnight ago. He finished second to a useful looking type in Spoken Truth over course and distance and just couldn't match the winner late on then. With that run under his belt he should go close now. Bad Desire is rated 4lb superior by the handicapper and is another obvious contender. The Wootton Bassett colt finished third to Sharinay over a mile here on his return two weeks ago and may benefit from the step up in trip. Ozark Daze was second on the all-weather at Dundalk last month when sent to post a big price, and could get into the money again.

PSALM boasts a progressive profile and, having found one too good over C&D a fortnight ago, he's fancied to go one better at the possibloe expense of Bad Desire, who should be suited by the longer trip. Kinesiology is another one to consider.

A couple of these have a better chance on paper but you'd have to like PSALM's run over C&D when beaten by a smart sort of Dermot Weld's

19:35 Cork Maiden 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

DECLAREE may be worth a shot here in an open looking maiden. She shaped with plenty of promise when third at Dundalk on her debut and should step forward from that initial effort. The Fastnet Rock filly disputed briefly inside the final furlong then and was only beaten just over a length-and-a-quarter by Higher Leaves. Harbour Gem sets the standard off a mark of 83. She hung to her left when seventh at Leopardstown last time and is capable of better than that showing. Lady Doris and Evening Blossom were second and third to Port Fairy at Dundalk last month and are others that have to come into the mix.

DECLAREE made a bright start at Dundalk and might be up to taking this valuable maiden. Lady Doris and Evening Blossom, closely matched on their running at the same track, are big players also.

Maybe EVENING BLOSSOM can turn around AW form with Lady Doris on this surface and that might be good enough

20:10 Cork Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

KILLEANEY BEAR was too free over a mile-and-a-half here a fortnight ago and dropping back in trip now should suit. The Kodi Bear gelding disputed turning for home then but was headed under two furlongs out and eventually finished fourth. He has shown enough to land a race of this standard. La Juliana was a couple of places behind the selection then and could be a danger now. She had been narrowly denied over a mile on her final start of last season and is another who may be better at this trip. Hanoi didn't run too badly when fifth at Dundalk on his most recent start and is another to consider.

KILLEANEY BEAR steppped up on previous efforts and travelled like there is even more to come when fourth at this course on handicap debut, so he's worth a chance to open his account back down in trip. La Juliana and Hanoi are the chief dangers.

Sixth over 1m4f here on seasonal debut, LA JULIANA is capable of better and can turn around that form with Killeaney Bear

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.
