UK Horse Racing Tips: Cork

King Of Athens was deemed good enough to run in the Coventry at Royal Ascot but took a backwards step when failing to trouble the protagonists in maiden company at Goodwood. Arranmore has finished second behind two potentially smart types at the Curragh and Naas but a tentative vote is for the newcomer, SPIRIT OF SAHARA. A half-brother to five winners, including Group 1 sprinter Dick Whittington, he might just be up to this on debut for Joseph O'Brien.
Prediction : 1st Spirit Of Sahara 2nd Arranmore 3rd King Of Athens

TAI SING YEH has recent form figures of 121 for Johnny Levins and can continue on the upwards trajectory. A 4lb rise for his recent Ayr triumph makes life tougher, but this is a nice opening for the five-year-old and he clearly gets on well with handy 3lb claimer Donagh O'Connor. Little Camacho wears first-time cheekpieces and also brings some solid recent form to the table, while Noirvento is also expected to be thereabouts.
Prediction : 1st Tai Sing Yeh 2nd Little Camacho 3rd Noirvento

FLIGHT RISK wasn't disgraced in Group 2 company at the Curragh four weeks ago and could take advantage now back at Listed level. Jim Bolger's charge stayed on stoutly after initially being outpaced in that contest, but should be able to stay on terms throughout in this company. Rhydwyn finished second behind a nice animal at Killarney latest and wears a first-time tongue-tie, while the unexposed Opening Verse is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Flight Risk 2nd Rhydwyn 3rd Opening Verse

SONAIYLA didn't get the run of the race when third of 12 in a more valuable contest at the Curragh 50 days ago and could make amends against this more realistic level of opposition. The three-year-old can win a race off this mark of 84 and might be open to greater improvement than most of these. Outside Inside needs a market check on stable debut for Jack Davison, while Stormy Belle ran better than what her finishing position suggests at Galway earlier this month.
Prediction : 1st Sonaiyla 2nd Outside Inside 3rd Stormy Belle

Imposing Supreme gained reward for a couple of strong efforts in defeat when striking over the extended mile at Galway last time and should give another good account. He does have an 8lb rise to contend with and drops in trip, however, so perhaps it might be worth siding with BECKWITH PLACE, who went down by a nose over this trip last time and appears to run all his best races over 7f. Muzbid went close over the extended 1m here last time and could also take a hand in first-time blinkers.
Prediction : 1st Beckwith Place 2nd Imposing Supreme 3rd Muzbid

KODIQUEEN bolted up over the extended 5f at Sligo when last sighted and is expected to give another good account, despite the fact the handicapper has handed her a 13lb rise. She's My Dream drops back from 6f after leaving a favourable impression at Naas and is feared most, while a mark of 69 appears workable for Hiella, who landed a distance maiden at the Curragh when last sighted.
Prediction : 1st Kodiqueen 2nd Shes My Dream 3rd Hiella

DELPHINIA posted a solid effort in defeat when beaten by four lengths into fifth in the Oaks and rates the one to beat now eased into Group 3 company. Tarnawa finished 11th behind the selection at Epsom but makes more appeal on her preceding Group 3 victory at Naas in May, a win for which she's penalised here. She has place claims all the same, as does Moteo.
Prediction : 1st Delphinia 2nd Tarnawa 3rd Moteo

SALSA should be all the wiser for the experience gained when sixth over 7f on debut at Goodwood and is entitled to improve on that effort now granted this additional furlong. First-time blinkers may spark improvement from Global Crossing, though bigger dangers are likely to be lurking among the newcomers and any money for Yaxeni, Passion or Snow would be worth heeding.
Prediction : 1st Salsa 2nd Passion 3rd Snow
