16:50 Cork Maiden 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

POWERFUL NATION should benefit from his career debut over C&D recently and looks quite capable. He showed some signs of greenness pre-race but ran well when failing by a short-head to concede 4lb to the winner. Ballydoyle's Alfred Tennyson was a 220,000gns yearling purchase and boasts a top pedigree, with his grand-dam a winner of the Cheveley Park. He could be smart but meets an experienced selection. Shamrock Breeze was a 100,000-pound breeze-up purchase on April 24 and it is very encouraging to see her debut so soon.

A warm-looking maiden with POWERFUL NATION fancied to put his experience to use and come out on top. He sets a good standard on his narrow defeat here on debut and seems sure to improve. Flash The Cash and Alfred Tennyson are a couple of the more interesting newcomers.

While POWERFUL NATION did a lot wrong on his debut over C&D, he showed plenty of ability and should go one better.

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

OHAILBHIC met trouble in-running when finishing strongly at Naas recently and appears nicely handicapped. He was a capable performer at Dundalk last winter and having been blocked in his run last time, the son of Exceed And Excel is now proven on turf and should progress. Branding is closely matched with the selection on a Dundalk maiden meeting last December but that was the selection's debut run. Michael O'Callaghan's colt was himself a good handicap winner over this distance at Navan recently but is now 13lb higher. Kendall Roy is unbeaten in three handicap runs, all at this distance, and may well have more to offer.

OHAILBHIC would likely have gone very close had the right gaps appeared at Naas and can gain compensation off the same mark. Kendall Roy is 3-3 in handicaps and has to be feared. Branding came clear as he pleased on his own at Navan and has a hefty rise to overcome but can't be left off the shortlist.

With Heavenly Being and Branding sure to set a strong pace, it could suit a hold-up horse like OHAILBHIC.

17:50 Cork Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ANNIE EDSON TAYLOR hasn't run since October but showed solid form on her latest run at Navan. The form was significantly boosted by the winner scoring twice subsequently and improving his rating to 87, while the well-held third also won subsequently and is now rated 73. Ojw Legacy is herself a proven and consistent performer and has recent form. Despite being rated 2lb higher than the lesser-exposed selection, her form possibly isn't as strong but can be counted upon to run her usual race. Cuban Confusion raced too keenly when last seen at Dundalk but may benefit from dropping in trip.

OJW LEGACY matched her previous best and shaped well with a view to stepping back up in trip when runner-up in a 5f Navan maiden 2 weeks ago and she earns the vote to build on that here. Annie Edson Taylor on return and likely improvers Ringabella and Dalva's Boys are others to consider.

Having rallied up the hill over 5f at Navan last time to be just denied over 5f, the return to this trip can see OJW LEGACY(nap) score.

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

SUMMER SNOW was beaten two lengths under a 7lb penalty at Naas last month, but she has better recent form than most of her rivals and is suited by conditions. She won at this distance five days prior at Gowran Park and might fare better having had a longer break between races. Run Forrest Run is a five-time winner and while he has been running over shorter trips recently, he won twice at this distance in 2021 and is ground-versatile. Veteran Shawaamekh has run well twice already this season and while suited by this distance, drying ground is a concern.

SHAWAAMEKH is now into the veteran stage but has twice run well upon returning this term, again finding only one too good at Limerick 5 days ago, and he could be worth siding with to end a losing run. Summer Snow has made a bright start for his new yard and is feared, with Superior Force and Shanadar others to consider.

A flier is taken on C&D winner TRUEBA to come back to form now that he gets back on a sound surface, having been poor on soft recently.

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

TIMANA has run well in two maidens thus far and debuts in handicaps. She lacks a recent run and wears first-time cheekpieces against more experienced rivals, but her February form was boosted by the runner-up winning a recent maiden, which suggests she might be nicely treated rated 69. The Bear Trap is in form, ground-versatile and has gone well at this distance but is nonetheless an 11-race maiden who might bump into one or two too strong. Dream Ticket missed the break when disappointing on her latest run at Dundalk in December but had previously shown good form in nurseries and should be well suited by a sounder surface.

TIMANA is not yet the finished article having been placed in a couple of maidens at Dundalk and she looks the way to go off what looks a fair opening mark. The Bear Trap is next best ahead of Byzantine Empress.

Having run fine races in defeat over 6f the last twice, running on, THE BEAR TRAP can get off the mark back up to this trip.

FAMILIAR DREAMS became a rare four-time bumper winner when landing a Grade 3 at the recent Punchestown Festival and debuts for new connections, having sold the following day for 310,000 euros. Initially a 4,000gns purchase as an unraced three-year-old from Roger Varian, she has smart ability and should be fine at middle-distances. Sixandahalf finished second to the selection in March when in receipt of 21lb and showed improvement to also win at Punchestown. A National Hunt-bred, she might struggle to reverse placings from level weights but is expected to give a decent account. Bloom Vega is out of a Listed winner and ran really well on Curragh debut and while the third-placed horse was beaten since, she is open to improvement.

FAMILIAR DREAMS has won each of her last four starts in bumpers, including at Grade 3 contest at Punchestown last time, and she is taken to make a successful debut in this sphere. Fellow bumper winner Sixandahalf and Bloom Vega, who shaped with abundant promise when runner-up on debut at the Curragh, rate the main dangers in that order of preference.

High-class bumper mare Familiar Dreams might have to play second fiddle to BLOOM VEGA, who should have improved from her debut.

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

PASCALIA has run well in 2024 and might be suited by stepping up in distance. There is plenty of speed in the dam's side but she saw out a mile quite well on testing ground at Cork last month, suggesting she could stay further. Dromore Glory returned from a huge 652-day layoff when finishing second over this distance at Dundalk last month and appears to still be fairly treated, with Colin Keane is a notable booking. Explorers Way's four wins were on the UK all-weather and he may step forward from his Irish return.

PASCALIA is still on the up judged on her latest second here last month and can go one better if seeing out the longer trip. Dromore Glory is feared most ahead of Explorers Way.

Not the strongest of handicaps and PASCALIA should prove a tough nut to crack if she handles the step up in trip

NOT JUST ANY EAGLE's only previous win was gained over course-and-distance in July 2022 and the five-year-old has been running well in defeat in races since last July. Ground-versatile and well suited by this distance, this may be the opportunity for him to strike once again. One-time Barrier Trial winner Jeaniemacaroney is fit from hurdling and while she had form at this grade and over this distance last summer, continues to be frustrating to follow and is an 11-race maiden. Power Drive is rated just 2lb higher than when winning easily at this distance at Dundalk in April but the nine-year-old's seven wins have all come on the all-weather.

A few with chances but NOT JUST ANY EAGLE is taken to bag another C&D win on the back of his good recent Sligo second. Limerick runner-up Jeaniemcaroney heads the list of dangers, with Epaulawn weighted to go well too. Power Drive completes the shortlist.

A tight handicap and it may be worth siding with EPAULAWN who has caught the eye a few times this 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.
