UK Horse Racing Tips: Cork

OCEAN VOYAGE failed to fire at Navan last time out but she can be given another chance based on her previous second-placed finish at Fairyhouse in January. Quinns Red Rose won on the Flat over a mile in September and she could go well if taking to hurdles, while similar comments also apply to Kashika. Westernerona is closely related to plenty of winners over hurdles and she merits a market inspection.
Prediction : 1st Ocean Voyage 2nd Quinns Red Rose 3rd Kashika

LANDOFHOPEANDGLORY has not been at his best over fences of late but he was fifth in the 2017 Triumph Hurdle and he has to be given the utmost respect now back over the smaller obstacles. Avenir D'Une Vie is another who could bounce back to form now switched to hurdling, while the unexposed Poly Rock should not be underestimated despite his lack of experience.
Prediction : 1st Landofhopeandglory 2nd Avenir DUne Vie 3rd Poly Rock

LA TEKTOR has hit the crossbar on both of his starts under Rules but a reproduction of either of those efforts should be good enough to win a race of this nature. School Boy Hours has been let down by his jumping on a couple of occasions already but he should be in the mix if putting in a clear round. The shortlist is completed by Acronym, Bay Ambition and Macgiloney.
Prediction : 1st La Tektor 2nd School Boy Hours 3rd Acronym

This is not a race to get carried away with but preference is for LAGENOD, after his narrow defeat over an extended 2m6f at Thurles last month. That form was boosted when the winner ran very well in defeat on his next start, so a 2lb rise for this seven-year-old gelding appears to be very fair. Lord Boru has made the frame on all three starts following a 1358-day break and he should be in the mix once again, while Jennys Grey and Hussle Up are the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Lagenod 2nd Lord Boru 3rd Jennys Grey

It might pay to side with OUR JERRY in what looks a fairly open handicap. He only found subsequent winner Christmas In Usa too good on his return from an 893-day absence at Ayr last month and is partnered by one of the more accomplished amateur riders in Tom Hamilton. Still Alive has won two of his last three and should give David Prichard a good spin, while Dark Outsider merits consideration switching to hurdles off a mark 13lb lower than when runner-up over fences at Leopardstown last time.
Prediction : 1st Our Jerry 2nd Still Alive 3rd Dark Outsider

Ronald Pump remains in good form despite failing to complete the hat-trick at Navan and he warrants plenty of respect under Cheltenham Gold Cup-winning jockey Paul Townend, while Bitsandpieces holds solid claims reverting to hurdles off 4lb lower than when touched off over fences last time. However, preference is for the English raider LORD OF THE ISLAND, who was just a couple of places behind Saturday's impressive Uttoxeter winner Poker Play when fourth at Exeter most recently. Lining up off a 2lb lower mark in this contest, he ought to go close.
Prediction : 1st Lord Of The Island 2nd Ronald Pump 3rd Bitsandpieces

Miss Cedille, Etincelle Lioterie and Eileen O finished fourth, fifth and sixth respectively in a Limerick bumper on St Stephen's Day and each of those have a chance in this contest, but ROBIN DES SIVOLA gets the nod for Jessica Harrington and Maxine O'Sullivan. The five-year-old confirmed promise shown between the flags when fourth on her Rules debut in this sphere at Punchestown, form which has been franked with the second, third and sixth all winning since, and normal improvement will make her tough to beat.
Prediction : 1st Robin Des Sivola 2nd Etincelle Lioterie 3rd Eileen O
