UK Horse Racing Tips: Cork

The market is sure to provide some valuable clues as to the relative merits of this septet and perhaps WORLD OF THE WAY can land the spoils. The Henry de Bromhead-trained filly is a half-sister to two winners, and her dam won a bumper on her only outing. Why Wait is also by Walk In The Park and is out of an unraced half-sister to the smart Zanahiyr. Plumton Queen hails from a powerful yard and is a half-sister to three winners including Sea The Boss who scored at Group 3 level on the Flat.
Prediction : 1st World Of The Way 2nd Plumton Queen 3rd Why Wait

ATOMIC CITY earned a rating in the high 80s on the Flat and made virtually all to land a maiden over an extended 1m2f here in May. The son of Ghaiyyath has been gelded since finishing down the field at Royal Ascot and is preferred to stablemate Green Soul who showed a similar level of form as a juvenile, but has been absent for over a year. Chairmanforlife looks the pick of those with previous jumping experience having stayed on into second behind Danny Power at Listowel last month, while Step By Step had a number of these rivals behind when third on debut at Ballinrobe.
Prediction : 1st Atomic City 2nd Green Soul 3rd Chairmanforlife

LET HIM B overcame a year's absence to score over 2m4f at Down Royal this spring and has filled the runner-up spot twice since including at Roscommon last month. The selection beat all bar Getaway Charlie in that 16-runner event and remains on a competitive mark. Boola Times was well supported when opening his account at Wexford last time and rates an obvious threat with Darragh O'Keeffe again in the saddle, while Gortmore Lady and John Dixen are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Let Him B 2nd Boola Times 3rd Gortmore Lady

MARTYMILL showed promise in bumpers including when runner-up at Listowel before scoring in good style at Downpatrick. The selection was subsequently placed on his hurdle debut at Uttoxeter and should benefit from that experience. Square Jasmin rates a threat on his fourth behind the odds-on Arouet over hurdles here in May, but has been absent since soundly beaten in a Wexford bumper later that month. Conor'salwaysright has won a Sligo bumper and is one to consider on his hurdling bow, while Our Sara has indicated ability both in bumpers and over hurdles.
Prediction : 1st Martymill 2nd Square Jasmin 3rd Conorsalwaysright

MINELLA EMPEROR won twice in bumpers including on this corresponding card last year and can open his account over hurdles in receipt of weight from all three rivals. The Emmet Mullins-trained gelding progressed well as he was upped in trip last season including when second over this distance at Haydock. His form tailed off at the end of that campaign and hopefully he'll be refreshed after a summer break. Dad Sez showed a liking for a test of stamina when scoring easily in a maiden at Kilbeggan, while Hi Ho Idaho is also proven over the trip having stayed on well behind Millstream Lady at Listowel last month.
Prediction : 1st Minella Emperor 2nd Dad Sez 3rd Hi Ho Idaho

NED IN THE PARK may have found a decent opportunity to open his account over fences. The Tim Doyle trained gelding made a winning reappearance over hurdles at Clonmel this spring and has subsequently been sent over fences including when runner-up behind the progressive Rockonliam at Wexford. Moylussa holds a similar level of form to the selection over hurdles and was placed on his only chase start at Roscommon this summer. Rosenborg and Seven Towers have a similar profile with jumping experience in point-to-points before winning a maiden hurdle.
Prediction : 1st Ned In The Park 2nd Moylussa 3rd Seven Towers

Consistent and progressive this summer, MIC DROP has a good opportunity to land a nice prize before ground conditions begin to ease. The Soldier Of Fortune gelding ran another solid race at Sligo last time, when chasing home a previous winner. Cappa Hill is a course winner over hurdles and a reproduction of his latest run over fences, when third in a slightly stronger handicap at Listowel, would give him every chance. The runner-up at Kilbeggan last time, Jasko Des Dames could prove vulnerable under top weight.
Prediction : 1st Mic Drop 2nd Cappa Hill 3rd Jasko Des Dames

IFUKNOWUKNOW had a couple of nice runs last season and beat a subsequent maiden hurdle winner over 2m2f in a bumper at Downpatrick last month. The Leading Light five-year-old may be capable of further improvement. Passenger was a course winner on good ground last year and ran well in a winners' bumper over 2m at Leopardstown over Christmas. He steps back up in distance with a shout, while Rokanako could land a blow back in this discipline having chased home a talented sort over hurdles last month.
Prediction : 1st Ifuknowuknow 2nd Passenger 3rd Rokanako
