UK Horse Racing Tips: Cork

FLOWERING PEACH was disappointing on her final start as a juvenile but the ground and quick turnaround would have been against her on that occasion. The daughter of Galileo displayed much more promise on her debut and she merits the utmost respect this afternoon. Simply Beautiful and Flying are stablemates of the selection who may have more to offer this year, while Bellakris and Alezia are the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Flowering Peach 2nd Simply Beautiful 3rd Alezia

THE NAMES JOCK put in a career best when finishing second on his seasonal/stable debut at Navan last weekend. A 1lb rise for that performance appears to be very fair and he should take plenty of beating this afternoon. Muntahez has to be respected despite carrying top weight, while Never Rains and Gatsby Cap both have solid each-way claims.
Prediction : 1st The Names Jock 2nd Muntahez 3rd Gatsby Cap

JEWEL MAKER failed to fire on his seasonal return but he won well here last May and he can be given another chance with the yard in top form right now. Canary Row is only 5lb higher than when winning at Galway last October and he merits respect on his reappearance. The was plenty of money for Charcor in the Irish Lincolnshire last month and he should not be underestimated today.
Prediction : 1st Jewel Maker 2nd Canary Row 3rd Charcor

Dermot Weld had three winners on Leopardstown's card on Wednesday and can continue his fine run of form with HAZEL BAY. The four-year-old can claim an overdue success here after finding one too good on each of her first three starts, and better things likely await this daughter of Iffraaj later in the season. Who's Steph was second in a Group 2 when last seen in September and undoubtedly has plenty of class, while Cimeara looked progressive last term and could find more now with Joseph O'Brien.
Prediction : 1st Hazel Bay 2nd Whos Steph 3rd Cimeara

Constantinople struck at the third time of asking when landing a 1m maiden at Thurles in October and is worth a market check now going handicapping, though of more interest is AGENT ZIGZAG, who had a recent spin at Navan over a mile and is expected to build on that effort now stepped up in trip. Turnberry Isle is another for whom this stiffer test is expected to be a source of immediate improvement.
Prediction : 1st Agent Zigzag 2nd Constantinople 3rd Turnberry Isle

LATCHET looked on good terms with herself when scoring over 1m2f at Leopardstown on Wednesday and with match fitness on his side, it would come as no surprise to see her defy a penalty. Scorpion Black was well supported when signing off last season with a solid fourth at Gowran and is worth monitoring in the betting for a stable who can ready their string following a break. Hurdles winner War Anthem returns from a lengthy absence and is another worth a market check.
Prediction : 1st Latchet 2nd Scorpion Black 3rd War Anthem

MARSHALL LAW is entitled to come on for his comeback spin at Dundalk in February and, having finished a one-paced fourth that day, he's also expected to improve for this stiffer test. Kattani should be all the wiser for the experience gained on debut two weeks ago at Naas and could feasibly take closer order, likewise Lightsider, who shaped with an abundance of promise when fifth over 1m at the Curragh on his latest outing in September.
Prediction : 1st Marshall Law 2nd Lightsider 3rd Kattani
