UK Horse Racing Tips: Cork

FOVEROS was a winner in France when last seen, landing a 1m1f handicap on the Flat at Longchamp, and the Authorized gelding looks another exciting recruit to Willie Mullins' Closutton team. Brawler was second over course and distance last month, only beaten a head, and has to be of real interest, while Nibiru was not disgraced when third to Sir Erec at Christmas and should find this considerably easier.
Prediction : 1st Foveros 2nd Brawler 3rd Nibiru

Tara Dylan is entitled to find this easier than some of the handicaps she has been pitched into of late, while a chance must also be given to Sunrise Lady, who has run well in similar assignments this year. However, preference is for MY MIDNIGHT, who put in an encouraging performance to finish third at Sligo recently, and the five-year-old can build on that up in trip.
Prediction : 1st My Midnight 2nd Sunrise Lady 3rd Tara Dylan

POPONG was a comfortable scorer when the best part of five lengths clear of the opposition at Wexford on debut, and the class Henry De Bromhead's mare showed suggests she can bridge the step up to this more competitive affair. Gipsy Lee Rose has been in good order and wasn't beaten far at Sligo last time, while Scotch Quay has done plenty of winning in handicaps of late and warrants plenty of respect.
Prediction : 1st Popong 2nd Scotch Quay 3rd Gipsy Lee Rose

PILGRIM WAY was beaten by just a short head here last month and has the chance to go one better now returned to a distance he has scored over in the past, with a 4lb rise fair. Lucky Icon was third over a furlong less at this venue, but has been left alone by the assessor and comes into calculations. Lean And Keen also has to be respected, with the blinkers he sported for the first time at Dundalk recently left on.
Prediction : 1st Pilgrim Way 2nd Lucky Icon 3rd Lean And Keen

Lessofdnegativity has a bit of course form having finished third of 19 here at 33-1 last month, while Woodbrook Boy shaped with promise when sent to Exeter and remains open to much improvement. Preference, though, is for the progressive JACK HACKETT, who struck in a NH Flat race at this track a few weeks ago. The step up in trip will suit, while the addition of hurdles is a further factor in his favour.
Prediction : 1st Jack Hackett 2nd Lessofdnegativity 3rd Woodbrook Boy

CALL OF THE LOON was held up off the pace before coming into contention and powering clear at Kilbeggan, so it wouldn't be a shock to see him defy a 13lb rise. The booking of Paul Townend suggests that connections are not too concerned with his new rating, and the eight-year-old can make up for lost time having been sparingly raced during the last two years. Cray has a 4lb penalty for an easy Tipperary success on Thursday, and The Last Armada is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Call Of The Loon 2nd Cray 3rd The Last Armada

Jessica Harrington won this last season with the smart Emily Moon, and looks to have an outstanding chance of following up with JELARA. Third on debut at Down Royal last summer, the five-year-old is likely to have strengthened up plenty since and has been found a suitable opening to strike. Sunndans outran 100-1 odds to finish third here three weeks ago, while Darrens Diamond is another to take seriously after her second over hurdles on the same card.
Prediction : 1st Jelara 2nd Sunndans 3rd Darrens Diamond
