UK Horse Racing Tips: Cork

The consistent DIME A DOZEN has hit the frame on both outings since turning her attentions to hurdles and could be primed to open her account in this sphere with Rachael Blackmore taking over in the saddle. Lady Of Elysium has some useful form in bumpers to her name and is entitled to improve for a switch to hurdles, while Tempting Tara might be worth a market check on her first racecourse appearance.
Prediction : 1st Dime A Dozen 2nd Lady Of Elysium 3rd Tempting Tara

The useful bumper performer BATTLE OF MIDWAY made a pleasing return from a 169-day break to open his hurdles account at the first attempt at Galway earlier this month, and there could be plenty more to come from the five-year-old. Zola romped to a 12-length victory at Listowel last month and rates as the pick of the Willie Mullins pair, but stablemate Think Positive is more experienced.
Prediction : 1st Battle Of Midway 2nd Zola 3rd Think Positive

FLOORING PORTER impressed when opening his account in August and shaped like he would be useful over this distance when running with credit over an extended 2m5f at Downpatrick last time. He was caught out by a sudden change of tempo on that occasion, but stayed on nicely and could play a prominent role on his handicap bow. Napoleon Blue is only 2lb higher than when second at Punchestown in May, while Rightback Atya is interesting reverting to hurdles.
Prediction : 1st Flooring Porter 2nd Napoleon Blue 3rd Rightback Atya

LINGER was an excellent sixth in the Irish Cesarewitch at the Curragh seven days ago and could be worth following while in such good heart for Joseph O'Brien. A faller when last seen in this sphere over fences in August, the six-year-old previously scored twice during the Galway Festival in this sphere and on the level, and could defy a mark of 120 under 7lb claimer Oakley Brown. Rocky's Silver boasts good form over this trip and merits respect, while Our Jerry returned to form when second at Gowran Park last time.
Prediction : 1st Linger 2nd Rockys Silver 3rd Our Jerry

Ask And Answer stuck to his task well on chase debut at Tipperary 13 days ago when third and is entitled to appreciate this step up in distance, while Final List wasn't disgraced in this sphere for Gordon Elliott earlier this month and could enjoy this switch to a more conventional track. Henry de Bromhead has a superb reputation with novice chasers, and his DEMAIN DES L'AUBE has an interesting profile. Hooded ahead of this return from 595 days off, the six-year-old ran in Grade 1 company over hurdles in France and might be a nice recruit.
Prediction : 1st Demain Des LAube 2nd Ask And Answer 3rd Final List

Doctor Phoenix likes to get his toe in and has dropped to a tempting handicap mark, but he hasn't won since February 2018 and isn't getting any younger. Game Of War was progressive last season prior to a defeat in Grade 1 company over Christmas and could bounce back, but preference is for LAST GOODBYE, who shaped well for a long way at Listowel 37 days ago. The eight-year-old finished behind two reliable types on that occasion and could put his race-fitness to good use.
Prediction : 1st Last Goodbye 2nd Doctor Phoenix 3rd Game Of War
