UK Horse Racing Tips: Cork

INSTITUTION is fancied to go one better than his runner-up effort at Wexford last month. Having raced freely that day, the application of cheekpieces should be a big help, and having Paul Townend take over the reigns is another big plus. Aliym is blinkered following his third-placed effort in the same Wexford event and he has a place chance again, although Fightfortheroses, equipped with cheekpieces as well as his regular tongue-tie, might pose the bigger threat. Clonmel second Rip Rocks Paddy Ok completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Institution 2nd Fightfortheroses 3rd Aliym

FLORRIE WEBB had a Borris House point-to-point contest at his mercy when a last-fence faller in December and having since joined the powerful Henry De Bromhead stable, he gets the vote to make a winning debut under Rules. Turnpike Trip has some smart Flat form under his belt, twice winning over 1m2f, and warrants plenty of respect on his NH bow/first start for Charles Byrnes, while Golazo and Born By The Sea are other names to note.
Prediction : 1st Florrie Webb 2nd Turnpike Trip 3rd Golazo

CAPPACON looks to have plenty going for him and gets the tentative vote. The 11-year-old is entitled to come on for his comeback third at Downpatrick, may improve for the application of cheekpieces and will benefit from Darragh O'Keeffe taking a valuable 5lb off his back. Give Battle arrives on the back of an encouraging Flat performance (first start for Charles Byrnes) and is a fascinating player on his handicap debut in this code, while Rain In Spain and Alcander also warrant respect.
Prediction : 1st Cappacon 2nd Give Battle 3rd Rain In Spain

SAVINA was confidently ridden to score in a bumper at Tramore last month and this relation to Gallant Oscar looks poised to appreciate the step up in trip now tackling obstacles for the first time. She comes from the family of top-class stayer The Listener, and should improve with distance and age for Willie Mullins. Santana Plessis finished second three times in bumper company and is respected now in this sphere, while Exit Eleven could prove best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Savina 2nd Santana Plessis 3rd Exit Eleven

Doctor Duffy is going the right way for Charles Byrnes and has to be respected chasing a four-timer, while Rashaan is classy on his day and deserves respect being a past C&D scorer. Woodland Opera is suited by this dry summer ground, but it is difficult to ignore the claims of the admirable nine-year-old PEREGRINE RUN. He has won four successive races over fences since May, and won't be deterred by this switch back to the smaller obstacles.
Prediction : 1st Peregrine Run 2nd Doctor Duffy 3rd Rashaan

SOMETHING SWEET made amends for her tumble at Tipperary when gaining her first career success at Clonmel last month. Despite the fact it took her 16 attempts to get off the mark, her profile prior to her fall two outings ago was a consistent one so it would be no surprise were she to strike again. Minx Tiara won her maiden hurdle at Wexford in good style and warrants plenty of respect now handicapping for the first time, while Aunty Audrey, Citizen Al and Famous Day complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Something Sweet 2nd Minx Tiara 3rd Aunty Audrey

EVA'S DIVA caught the eye when staying on into third at Clonmel on her racecourse debut last month and the daughter of Getaway is entitled to come forward from that experience. Glendruid makes plenty of appeal being the first runner for Colm Murphy since 2016, and also coming from the family of this year's Albert Bartlett winner Minella Indo, while the booking of Derek O'Connor suggests Josie Abbing can be more competitive after her debut at Leopardstown last December.
Prediction : 1st Evas Diva 2nd Glendruid 3rd Josie Abbing
