13:20 Cork Maiden 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

This looks a good opportunity for SWEETEST. She beat five of these rivals over her first three starts and she should be able to confirm that form now. A €420,000 yearling purchase, the Aidan O'Brien trained selection finished third to Prime Art at Naas on her most recent outing, with that one since giving the form a boost by winning a Group 3 at Ayr on Saturday. Heavenly Being was another expensive yearling purchase and is a half-sister to 2021 Matron Stakes winner No Speak Alexander. The Jessica Harrington-trained bay has two solid efforts to her name and looks well-capable of making her presence felt. Verified is surprisingly rated higher than the selection and it'll be interesting to see how he fares. Sixth of seven in the Blenheim Stakes at Fairyhouse last week, he should give a good account of himself. A fine third on her most recent start at the Curragh, Staysound Susie is sure to have plenty of supporters, while Bonbon is another that can't be discounted.

Preference is for STAYSOUND SUSIE, who upped her game at the Curragh last month and should be suited by the drop back to the minimum trip. Sweetest and Heavenly Being look the likeliest dangers.

Though thrice a beaten favourite, SWEETEST(nap) has the best form courtesy of her 2l defeat by a subsequent Group 3 winner last time.

13:55 Cork Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Races of this nature are rarely appealing from a betting perspective and this one is no exception. KENDALL ROY justified plenty of market support when successful at Naas less than a fortnight ago and he might be able to follow-up. The tongue-strap which was fitted for the first time at Naas, remains in place now and it'll be interesting to see how far he can progress. Fourth, fifth and sixth in the valuable Goffs Sportsman's Challenge, Velvet Skies, Bid For Chester and Ocean Baroque renew rivalries and all have solid claims. The latter is fitted with cheekpieces for the first time and with Conor Stone Walsh claiming a valuable 7lb, he should go close. Top-weight Alpha Cephi and Navan winner Kiki Roberts are other leading hopes.

KENDALL ROY landed a bit of a touch when scoring on his nursery debut at Naas 12 days ago and a subsequent 8 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up. He's taken to get the better of Alpha Cephei, who drops back in trip for his handicap bow and should be capable of making an impact. Velvet Skies and Kiki Roberts can do battle for minor honours.

It could be worth taking a chance on ALPHA CEPHEI. The form of his maiden 3rd at Leopardstown is solid and he has handled soft ground.

14:30 Cork Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

RUN FORREST RUN is the suggestion in this wide-open affair. Successful on soft ground at the Curragh in May, he has performed with credit in four starts since. Not beaten far when seventh at Listowel last week, the Bobby's Kitten five-year-old will be ridden by Conor Stone-Walsh who claims a valuable 7lb. With Colin Keane booked for the ride, Rose Of Malta is given second preference. Already twice a runner-up, she was a solid fourth of 25 on her most recent start and a reproduction of that effort should see her go close. Down to a career low mark of 48, it'll be interesting to see how six-time winner Stanhope fares, while fellow handicap veteran Teddy Boy is another that warrants respect. In truth, a case can be made for many others, with Improving (first time blinkers), Markievicz, Es Vedra and Eriskay a few more for the shortlist.

RUN FORREST RUN has been shaping better than the bare result since scoring at the Curragh in May and, if everything goes his way, he could land a race that looks quite weak for the numbers. Es Vedra is a danger on second start for her current stable and Eriskay is also feared.

On her close 2nd over 7f here last year on heavy, ROSE OF MALTA should be able to win this off a 12lb lower mark.

COUMSHINGAUN might be able to bounce back to form in this competitive heat. After three places efforts in early summer, the Fastnet Rock four-year-old was successful at the Curragh in July but has been ultimately disappointing since. Fitted with cheekpieces for the first time now and with teenage apprentice Calum Hogan claiming a valuable 10lb, it'll be disappointing if she fails to make an impact. Handicap debutant Daisy Jones is given second preference. The Takashi Kodama trained five-year-old had four subsequent winners in behind when second on her penultimate start at Navan and she looks well-treated here on a mark of 64. A dual course victor, top-weight Screen Siren is sure to have plenty of supporters as she bids to win over six-furlongs for the first time. Amanirenas, Iva Batt and Saturn Seven are other leading hopes.

A chance is taken on the Ado McGuinness-trained IVA BATT who shaped better than the result last time and has dipped to a career-low mark. Screen Siren wasn't seen to best effect at the Curragh last time and it's interesting Colin Keane retains the ride so she's second choice ahead of Gavin Cromwell's Transcendental.

Proven in soft ground and capable of running well fresh, DAISY JONES might be able to get off the mark on handicap debut.

15:40 Cork Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

WENDLA is a granddaughter of Hasili, which produced six Group 1 winners, including Dansili and this filly's dam Intercontinental. Intercontinental has yet to produce a foal of note and while the selection is her 12th, is by a stallion which has produced smart soft-ground winners and represents a yard with an excellent course record. Ezeliya was supported when showing promise on debut. Out of a Group 2 winner and from the family of Ascot Gold Cup winners Enzeli and Estimate, she should improve from Leopardstown - having been slowly away, but meets softer ground. Flight Of Fancy is a sister to six smart winners, including top-level victor Johannes Vermeer. Her rider also claims 5lb but her yard's debutantes generally improve from debut. Stablemate Get looks second-string but is a sister to three black-type performers and was a 360,000gns yearling. Into The Grove, a half-sister to a Group 2 winner, and Higher Leaves, a half-sister to a Group 3 winner, could each be smart. Whisper A Prayer was behind Ezeliya on debut while With Style needs to improve.

WENDLA is one of a number of interesting newcomers and gets the vote before market clues. Aidan O'Brien runs an appealing pair in Flight of Fancy and Get, while Dermot Weld's Ezeliya is the clear pick of those with experience and seems sure to improve.

The newcomers are interesting but EZELIYA ran a really nice first race at Leopardstown.

16:15 Cork Listed 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Dependable POWER UNDER ME is suited by this distance and soft ground. His form at a mile is smart and while he shoulders top weight, holds Lord Massusus on a good run in a July Group 2, when he met minor traffic. Three-year-old Lord Massusus also likes a mile and won a Group 3 in August. He has 4.6 lengths to find with the selection on July Leopardstown form and, due to weight-for-age, is now 2lb worse off. Self Belief revels in soft and also won a Group 3 in July. He too is dependable but dropping to a mile mightn't be ideal. French import Caracal likes this distance and while he has more on his plate than at Tipperary, likes soft and should progress fitness-wise from that 511-days reappearance run. The dropped-in-grade Proud And Regal won a juvenile Group 1 over this distance but might now prefer a longer distance.

CARACAL made an encouraging start to life with Joseph O'Brien when landing a small-field minor event at Tipperary 23 days ago and, providing he comes out of that okay (stood little racing in France), he looks capable of following up. Power Under Me and Self Belief are a couple of credible rivals.

A very deep renewal of this Listed race. SELF BELIEF has a penalty but this lightly raced 4yo gave weight to some useful 3yos last time

16:50 Cork Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Keen-going TRACHONITUS likes testing ground and ran well on his reappearance following a 141-days layoff recently. Out of a Group 3 winner and a half-brother to a Listed winner, he bumped into Paddington at Naas last March and having run well against a seasoned campaigner at Galway, should again run well from 4lb higher. Something Nice is also suited by soft and while he beat the selection by four and a quarter lengths at Naas in April, is 5lb worse off and is marginally more exposed. Sheyya has run just twice this year but caught the eye when finishing well here in August. She is unproven on soft but should improve at this distance and has dropped 4lb. Seven-time winner Sirjack Thomas continues in fine form and likes easy ground but isn't ahead of the handicapper. Colin Keane rides Catena Zapata but is probably best watched on reappearance against race-fit rivals while Encosta disappointed 13 days ago but has place claims on earlier form.

Competitive fare but SIRJACK THOMAS will find this trip much more suitable than 7f so he just about gets the vote. Trachonitus and Helpmeout head the opposition.

A chance is taken on SOMETHING NICE, whose latest defeat can be excused with that only four days after running so well at the Curragh.

17:25 Cork Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BANG PO ran notably well when second at the Galway festival and competes from a career low rating. His juvenile form was over sprint distances but has good recent form at this distance and finished mid-field when dropped to seven furlongs at the Curragh last month. Nine days earlier, he had finished second and between two well-handicapped, subsequent winners over this distance at Galway. Asisaid won in first-time blinkers in July and while absent since, connections might have been waiting for easy ground. His form is in-and-out but blinkers are reapplied and he is just 3lb higher than when winning at Naas. Zephron has been running well over seven furlongs, likes soft ground and is just 1lb higher than when second at Listowel last week. Samhradh returns from a break and is open to progression being a lightly-raced three-year-old. Skontonovski likes a mile and is ground-versatile but was well held at Gowran recently while Tasmanian Girl wasn't beaten far at Roscommon but drops markedly in distance.

ASISAID won well in first-time blinkers at Naas when last seen in July and can strike again, with any further rain in his favour. Zephron and Well Suited are a couple of others to note.

The filly STORMIE OUTLOOK ran well at Clonmel before an excusable failure on the beach at Laytown and she earns a tentative nod.

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.
