12:03 Cork Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

It might be worth taking a chance on YOU DONE WELL in this wide-open contest. Beaten by just a neck on his debut over flights at Gowran in October, he since finished a respectable sixth of 21 at Punchestown, with subsequent Grade 3 winner Naturally Nimble a place behind. Second in that Punchestown contest, Lakota Blue is sure to have plenty of supporters in his bid to go a place better, while Flat recruit Nans View is of definite interest on her first try over flights. One of three Joseph O'Brien-trained representatives, Turn And Finish is the second choice. Given a lot to do when runner-up on his most recent start, it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a place better now. A winner on the all-weather in France, Tremaine warrants respect with Danny Mullins aboard, while Puturhandstogether, Doctor Confusion and Babich are others for the shortlist.

LAKOTA BLUE was second to another highly promising type on hurdling debut and should be able to go one better even without the anticipated improvement. Turn and Finish looks the main threat ahead of Puturhandstogether.

The one to beat is LAKOTA BRAVE after his excellent second in a competitive Punchestown maiden with more improvement likely

12:33 Cork Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Willie Mullins introduces yet another French import in the shape of Kappa Jy Pyke, and while he warrants respect, it might be worth taking him on. The winner of an AQPS race in his native land back in October of last year, he beat Kuzco and Kazakh d'Arthel into second and third respectively, with both of those disappointing since. Successful on debut in a March point-to-point at Belclare, Pure Steel is of definite interest on his first start for Jimmy Mangan, while the Henry de Bromhead-trained Sky Lord and Enda Bolger's Park That are other leading hopes. For a selection, ICARE D'AUBRELLE gets the nod. Described as 'something special' after winning on debut at Naas in February 2022, he has clearly met with trouble since but could start making up for lost time now.

TITANIUM possessed more than his share of ability on the level so in the hope he takes to this discipline (and sees it out) at the first attempt, he could outclass these. Kappa JY Pyke is sure to be well prepared for this so has to be feared, along with Sky Lord.

Beaten only a neck by a subsequent 6l maiden hurdle winner in a Fairyhouse bumper, SKY LORD is tipped to make a winning hurdles debut

13:05 Cork Maiden Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

It might be worth taking a chance on CHURCHROAD PRINCE. Trained locally by the shrewd Jonathan Sweeney, this six-year-old hasn't been seen since winning at Ballinrobe in May. A brother to Jonjo O'Neill's Bill Joyce, a Grade 2 winner at Sandown on Friday, he is likely to be suited by this step up in trip. The hat-trick seeking Luckinthecity won by a short head when last seen over C&D in October but was somewhat fortunate, with the rider of the runner-up losing his whip. His stable companion Just For Love warrants respect getting a mares' allowance, while Minella Sixo has obvious claims after missing Saturday's Navan engagement. Pray Tell and Therellbguddaysyet complete the line-up.

Cases can be made for most of these, but LUCKINTHECITY is 2-2 in this sphere and with further progress anticipated, Willie Mullins' 5-y-o can take this step up in class in his stride at the expense of Minella Sixo, who is declared to run at Navan on Saturday but would be a huge danger if turning up here. Pray Tell saw his winning run come to an end last time, but he remained in good form so rounds off the shortlist.

Slight preference is for JUST FOR LOVE, who ran into a good one at Limerick last time and this longer trip is likely to suit

13:40 Cork Novices Chase 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Impressive winners at Tipperary and Gowran respectively, ONLY BY NIGHT and Nara look the ones to focus on. The Gavin Cromwell-trained former easily accounted for an odds-on chance when successful at the Limerick Junction venue and, back against her own sex now, she might be able to follow up. Still only a four-year-old, Nara gets a weight allowance. She trounced her rivals when last seen at Gowran and had the reopposing Kilbarry Saint and Air Drop behind. A winner at the highest level over flights, Zenta looks the best of the rest. Disappointingly beaten into fourth on her debut over fences at Ballinrobe in May, it'll come as no surprise if she manages to bounce back. A Law Of Her Own has some solid form to her name and is another who warrants respect.

ZENTA didn't quite come up to expectations on chasing debut but she's the pick on hurdles form and should improve after 7 months off, so she's marginally preferred to recent winners Only By Night and Nara.

Preference is for ONLY BY NIGHT, who could well be a better chaser than hurdler based on her Tipperary success against geldings

14:15 Cork Conditions Chase 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ENERGUMENE won this race in 2021 and 2022 before enjoying arguably his finest hour the following spring when beating Captain Guinness by 10 lengths to land his second Champion Chase at Cheltenham. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding now reappears after an absence of 593 days and it will be interesting to see how strong he is in the market. The champion trainer saddles six of the eight runners and the fragile Ferny Hollow is also a classy Grade 1 winner, while Appreciate It ran a cracker when runner-up to Fastorslow on his reappearance in the John Durkan Chase last year. Banbridge had Dinoblue over a length behind in third when taking the Champion Chase at the Punchestown Festival last spring, but will not be suited by soft ground.

Willie Mullins dominates this race and ENERGUMENE can make light of his absence and win it for a third time. Banbridge can step up on his reappearance and provide the chief threat ahead of Blue Lord, another from the Mullins yard returning from a layoff.

If near his best for his return Energumene willl be hard to beat. However, at the likely odds DINOBLUE is a feasible alternative

14:50 Cork Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The form of the bumper that YOUNG LUCY won here last year has worked out well and while she hasn't added to that success, there were plenty of positives to be taken from her return to hurdles over 2m5f at Cheltenham last month. She finished well when beating all bar favourite Double Powerful and gets the vote over Johnny Blue, who won a Worcester bumper for Nicky Henderson and now joins Willie Mullins having filled the runner-up spot twice in maiden hurdles last season. From The Ashes enters calculations on his second at Leopardstown last spring and should benefit from a recent run over fences. Killaney King and Whatsafellatodo are others to consider.

YOUNG LUCY likely would have won at Cheltenham last month but for a mistake at the last and can gain compensation now. Johnny Blue is a potentially dangerous opponent having joined Willie Mullins for his handicap career. One Big Boum and Whatsafellatodo complete the shortlist.

The one to be on is YOUNG LUCY(nap) who was unlucky not to score in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham last month

15:25 Cork Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A NOD TO GETAWAY won a 2m1f Wexford handicap on soft ground back in May and subsequently showed he's versatile in terms of distance when runner-up in a 2m7f Killarney chase. He was staying on over 2m at Thurles last time and is preferred to Hesasmoothoperator, who has been placed on his latest two starts over this trip and should go close if handling softer ground. Colleen Danu scored on just her second start for Pat Foley at Gowran last month, while The Dooner Citizen finished well at Tramore last time. Lispendense, Del Girl, One And Only and first reserve Duffys Hodey are others to note.

LIBERATED LIGHT took a step back in the right direction at Navan 3 weeks ago and could be the answer off a tempting mark. Hesasmoothoperator and Colleen Danu are feared most.

There is a fair chance that DUFFYS HODEY will make the line-up as first reserve. If so, he can defy a 7lb penalty for his Clonmel win

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.
