Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (8/1 +11%) Bonbon	8 8/1(+11%)	(5) Bonbon 8/1, Twice-raced filly. Tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 11 in maiden (14/1) at Naas (5.9f, good) 30 days ago. Yard having good spell. May well do better. Decent effort over C&D in May and a similar run last month over 6f at Naas on return.
2	13 2nd (13) (15/8 -7%) Sweetest	1.875 15/8(-7%)	(13) Sweetest 15/8, Made the frame in all 3 starts to date, latest when third of 13 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Holds strong claims on form. Was 2l behind a Group 3 winner at Naas last time over 6f; go close if handling the ground.
3	9 3rd (9) (12/1 +52%) Pansy Poe	12 12/1(+52%)	(9) Pansy Poe 12/1, Once-raced filly. Sixth of 15 in maiden (50/1) at the Curragh (6f, good) on debut 45 days ago. Improvement required. Will have to improve plenty on debut run and facing much softer ground.
4	7 4th (7) (11/4 +50%) Heavenly Being	2.75 11/4(+50%)	(7) Heavenly Being 11/4, Posted fair form in both starts thus far, latest when fourth of 11 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, good, 11/2) 30 days ago. Stable having good spell. May have more to offer yet. Both starts at Naas and similar efforts over 5f and 6f; this ground is an unknown.
5th	12 5th (12) (6/1 -9%) Staysound Susie	6 6/1(-9%)	(12) Staysound Susie 6/1, Found improvement when third of 11 in nursery at the Curragh (6f, good to soft, 12/1) 37 days ago. Shortlist material. Good nursery run over 6f last time, though weakened late; go well if handling the ground.
6th	4 6th (4) (20/1 -82%) Verified	20 20/1(-82%)	(4) Verified 20/1, Thrice-raced gelding. 150/1, 9 lengths sixth of 7 to Megarry in listed race at Fairyhouse (6f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Warrants respect. Best of three runs came over 6f here; go well if handling this ground dropping in trip.
7th	11 7th (11) (28/1 -100%) Sacred Melody	28 28/1(-100%)	(11) Sacred Melody 28/1, Foaled May 12. Showcasing filly. Dam, 7f winner, half-sister to smart sprinter Taajub. By a high-class sire and should be capable of running well; tough conditions for debut.
8th	3 8th (3) (18/1 -13%) Signor Ferrari	18 18/1(-13%)	(3) Signor Ferrari 18/1, Foaled April 16. €25,000 yearling, £15,000 2-y-o, Invincible Army gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including useful US 1m winner Jeremy's Legacy and 6f winner Dizzy G. Cost 15,000GBP as a 2yo; first-crop sire has got plenty of winners; could go well.
9th	10 9th (10) (9/1 +25%) Ringabella	9 9/1(+25%)	(10) Ringabella 9/1, Once-raced filly. Seventh of 13 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, good to soft, 16/1) on debut 12 days ago, not knocked about. Entitled to improve. Not beaten far in a Naas maiden over 6f; go well if handling drop in trip on softer ground.
10th	8 10th (8) (100/1 -400%) Mary Shoelaces	100 100/1(-400%)	(8) Mary Shoelaces 100/1, Once-raced filly. Last of 8 in maiden (9/1) at the Curragh (5f, heavy) on debut. Off 163 days. Well beaten on debut in April, though the winner is high-class; probably best watched.
11th	1 11th (1) (22/1 -10%) Comein Comein	22 22/1(-10%)	(1) Comein Comein 22/1, Lightly-raced colt. Eighth of 9 in minor event at Dundalk (5f, 40/1) 4 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Each-way claims. Was 3rd at Down Royal but was too keen when below that level at Dundalk four days ago.
12th	6 12th (6) (200/1 -100%) Dolce Far Niente	200 200/1(-100%)	(6) Dolce Far Niente 200/1, Twice-raced filly. Fourteenth of 18 in maiden (150/1) at Leopardstown (7f, good to soft) 68 days ago. Down in trip. Beaten a long way on both starts over 7f and will be better off in handicaps.
13th	2 13th (2) (150/1 -200%) Dabirsim Flyer	150 150/1(-200%)	(2) Dabirsim Flyer 150/1, Thrice-raced colt. 33/1, last of 6 in maiden at this course (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago, possibly amiss. Best of his three starts came over C&D last month but beaten 22l back here over 6f since.

LTO Selection:

This looks a good opportunity for SWEETEST. She beat five of these rivals over her first three starts and she should be able to confirm that form now. A €420,000 yearling purchase, the Aidan O'Brien trained selection finished third to Prime Art at Naas on her most recent outing, with that one since giving the form a boost by winning a Group 3 at Ayr on Saturday. Heavenly Being was another expensive yearling purchase and is a half-sister to 2021 Matron Stakes winner No Speak Alexander. The Jessica Harrington-trained bay has two solid efforts to her name and looks well-capable of making her presence felt. Verified is surprisingly rated higher than the selection and it'll be interesting to see how he fares. Sixth of seven in the Blenheim Stakes at Fairyhouse last week, he should give a good account of himself. A fine third on her most recent start at the Curragh, Staysound Susie is sure to have plenty of supporters, while Bonbon is another that can't be discounted.

Preference is for STAYSOUND SUSIE, who upped her game at the Curragh last month and should be suited by the drop back to the minimum trip. Sweetest and Heavenly Being look the likeliest dangers.

Though thrice a beaten favourite, SWEETEST(nap) has the best form courtesy of her 2l defeat by a subsequent Group 3 winner last time.

13:20 Cork Maiden 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:55 Cork Handicap 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (9/2 +44%) Ocean Baroque	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(2) Ocean Baroque 9/2, Winner at Navan in July. 22/1, below form sixth of 14 in minor event at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) 12 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Kieran Patrick Cotter. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Cheekpieces on for new trainer but needs more even though will handle the ground.
2	3 2nd (3) (9/2 +44%) Bid For Chester	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(3) Bid For Chester 9/2, Winner at Navan in August. Found things too competitive when last of 6 in minor event at Listowel (8f, soft, 22/1) 7 days ago. Back down in trip. Not taken lightly. Won a Navan nursery over 5.5f; failed to stay 1m at Listowel; this trip is more suitable.
3	7 3rd (7) (9/1 -13%) Tai Tam Bay	9 9/1(-13%)	(7) Tai Tam Bay 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Matched previous form when third of 8 in maiden (9/2) at Bellewstown (5f, good) 4 weeks ago. Hood on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Not beaten far in maidens at Sligo and Bellewstown; handles this ground and go well.
4	9 4th (9) (25/1 +11%) Romford	25 25/1(+11%)	(9) Romford 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 5¾ lengths seventh of 10 to Kendall Roy in nursery at Naas (5f, good to soft, 22/1) 12 days ago, merely closing up late. Was 6l behind Kendall Roy last time; handles the ground but is 4lb out of the handicap.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/4 -10%) Alpha Cephei	2.75 11/4(-10%)	(1) Alpha Cephei 11/4, 11/2, ran at least as well as previously when third of 10 in maiden at Leopardstown (7f, good) 33 days ago. Makes handicap debut and fancied to be in the shake-up. Best run came in a 7f Leopardstown maiden last time on good; has handled soft fine.
6th	6 6th (6) (12/1 +14%) Beano Power	12 12/1(+14%)	(6) Beano Power 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 5/1, sixth of 8 in maiden at Bellewstown (5f, good) 28 days ago, finding little. Makes handicap debut. Was 2l behind Tai Tam Bay last time over 5f; back up to 6f on nursery debut; needs more.
7th	5 7th (5) (6/1 +14%) Velvet Skies	6 6/1(+14%)	(5) Velvet Skies 6/1, Winner at Down Royal in September. 9/4, good second of 6 in nursery at Fairyhouse (6f, good to soft) 8 days ago. He again looked as if he was crying out for a return to 7f, so others appeal more on balance. Didn't get the clearest run at Fairyhouse last week; 2lb higher on softer ground today.
8th	4 8th (4) (4/1 +20%) Kiki Roberts	4 4/1(+20%)	(4) Kiki Roberts 4/1, Didn't need to improve to get off the mark in 8-runner maiden at Navan (5.8f, good to soft, 7/2) 24 days ago. Makes handicap debut now and will need to take a step forward. Won a Navan maiden over 5.5f on yielding but was twice withdrawn because of soft ground.

LTO Selection:

Races of this nature are rarely appealing from a betting perspective and this one is no exception. KENDALL ROY justified plenty of market support when successful at Naas less than a fortnight ago and he might be able to follow-up. The tongue-strap which was fitted for the first time at Naas, remains in place now and it'll be interesting to see how far he can progress. Fourth, fifth and sixth in the valuable Goffs Sportsman's Challenge, Velvet Skies, Bid For Chester and Ocean Baroque renew rivalries and all have solid claims. The latter is fitted with cheekpieces for the first time and with Conor Stone Walsh claiming a valuable 7lb, he should go close. Top-weight Alpha Cephi and Navan winner Kiki Roberts are other leading hopes.

KENDALL ROY landed a bit of a touch when scoring on his nursery debut at Naas 12 days ago and a subsequent 8 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up. He's taken to get the better of Alpha Cephei, who drops back in trip for his handicap bow and should be capable of making an impact. Velvet Skies and Kiki Roberts can do battle for minor honours.

It could be worth taking a chance on ALPHA CEPHEI. The form of his maiden 3rd at Leopardstown is solid and he has handled soft ground.

13:55 Cork Handicap 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:30 Cork Handicap 6f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (4/1 +33%) Run Forrest Run	4 4/1(+33%)	(3) Run Forrest Run 4/1, Latest win at the Curragh in May. 12/1, respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Listowel (7.1f, soft) 7 days ago, again not seen to best effect. Worth taking a chance on in a race that lacks depth. Didn't get much luck in running at Listowel last week; can go well.
2	7 2nd (7) (12/1 +0%) Teddy Boy	12 12/1(+0%)	(7) Teddy Boy 12/1, Latest win at Naas in August. Below form sixth of 10 in handicap (17/2) at Laytown (6f) 14 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Won his 5th race when scoring at Naas last month but has been below that level since.
3	1 3rd (1) (14/1 +30%) Shoebox King	14 14/1(+30%)	(1) Shoebox King 14/1, Latest win at Navan in July. 12/1, sixteenth of 17 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good to soft) 8 days ago, folding. Handles soft ground fine but has to rebound from a poor run at Fairyhouse.
4	2 4th (2) (14/1 -17%) Pretty Boy Floyd	14 14/1(-17%)	(2) Pretty Boy Floyd 14/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2021. 11/1, 14 lengths nineteenth of 24 to Teddy Boy in handicap at Naas (5.9f, soft) 50 days ago. Visor back on. Has been freshened up since a disappointing Naas run and will revel in conditions; chance.
5th	11 5th (11) (6/1 +40%) Improving	6 6/1(+40%)	(11) Improving 6/1, One win from 33 Flat runs. 11/2, bit below form sixth of 15 in handicap at this C&D (good) 60 days ago, repeatedly short of room. Blinkers on 1st time. Ran a decent race at the Curragh in April; testing ground suits best and can be a player.
6th	17 6th (17) (10/1 +60%) Let's Believe	10 10/1(+60%)	(17) Let's Believe 10/1, Below form 9 lengths tenth of 23 to Markievicz in handicap (9/2) at Navan (5.8f, soft). Off 136 days. Maiden was regressive earlier this season and is now rated only 40.
7th	12 7th (12) (16/1 -45%) Markievicz	16 16/1(-45%)	(12) Markievicz 16/1, Latest win at Navan in May. 28/1, below form fourth of 10 in handicap at Laytown (6f) 14 days ago. Not firing at present. Won on soft ground at Navan earlier in the season; down to a winnable mark again; player.
8th	15 8th (15) (12/1 -50%) Eriskay	12 12/1(-50%)	(15) Eriskay 12/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Below form 5 lengths seventh of 24 to Teddy Boy in handicap (12/1) at Naas (5.9f, soft) 50 days ago, not knocked about. Promised more than she delivered last time and isn't one to be writing off. Navan maiden winner two years ago has been basically regressive since; needs more.
9th	6 9th (6) (28/1 -40%) Bright Image	28 28/1(-40%)	(6) Bright Image 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, tenth of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, heavy). Off 163 days. Makes handicap debut. More required. Returns after an absence but has handled this ground so is worth a market check.
10th	5 10th (5) (11/1 -38%) Es Vedra	11 11/1(-38%)	(5) Es Vedra 11/1, 9/1, first run since leaving W. McCreery when respectable sixth of 17 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Unexposed for current yard and worthy of respect. Not bad runs over 6f and 7f lately; will handle conditions and get involved.
11th	4 11th (4) (18/1 -13%) Beaumadier	18 18/1(-13%)	(4) Beaumadier 18/1, 7/1, below form sixth of 12 in maiden at Tipperary (5f, soft) 46 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Needs to bounce back. Runner-up in a 5f maiden here in April but hasn't been at that level since.
12th	18 12th (18) (80/1 -21%) My Joker	80 80/1(-21%)	(18) My Joker 80/1, Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. 100/1, eighth of 10 in maiden at Laytown (7.2f) 14 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Maiden after 25 starts handles this ground but isn't easy to fancy.
13th	10 13th (10) (4/1 +33%) Rose Of Malta	4 4/1(+33%)	(10) Rose Of Malta 4/1, Below form fourth of 25 in handicap at this course (7f, good to firm, 10/1) 20 days ago. Yet to fully fire this season but she's becoming well handicapped and latest effort was a bit more encouraging. Was 2nd over 7f in a handicap here last year; a repeat of that will see her go close.
14th	16 14th (16) (12/1 +40%) Inthepoorhouse	12 12/1(+40%)	(16) Inthepoorhouse 12/1, Bit below form eighth of 20 in handicap at this course (7f, soft, 14/1). Off 102 days. Something to prove. Maiden would have a chance if repeating the form of his 4th at the Curragh in April.
15th	14 15th (14) (14/1 +13%) Born Invincible	14 14/1(+13%)	(14) Born Invincible 14/1, Course winner. 28/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap at this C&D (good) 60 days ago. Others make more appeal. Regressive this season and is rated only 40; handles this ground but others preferred.
16th	20 16th (20) (100/1 -100%) Empress Cotoh	100 100/1(-100%)	(20) Empress Cotoh 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 125/1, eighth of 12 in claimer at Dundalk (7f). Off 10 months. Makes handicap debut. Little sign of ability in four starts; best watched on return.

LTO Selection:

RUN FORREST RUN is the suggestion in this wide-open affair. Successful on soft ground at the Curragh in May, he has performed with credit in four starts since. Not beaten far when seventh at Listowel last week, the Bobby's Kitten five-year-old will be ridden by Conor Stone-Walsh who claims a valuable 7lb. With Colin Keane booked for the ride, Rose Of Malta is given second preference. Already twice a runner-up, she was a solid fourth of 25 on her most recent start and a reproduction of that effort should see her go close. Down to a career low mark of 48, it'll be interesting to see how six-time winner Stanhope fares, while fellow handicap veteran Teddy Boy is another that warrants respect. In truth, a case can be made for many others, with Improving (first time blinkers), Markievicz, Es Vedra and Eriskay a few more for the shortlist.

RUN FORREST RUN has been shaping better than the bare result since scoring at the Curragh in May and, if everything goes his way, he could land a race that looks quite weak for the numbers. Es Vedra is a danger on second start for her current stable and Eriskay is also feared.

On her close 2nd over 7f here last year on heavy, ROSE OF MALTA should be able to win this off a 12lb lower mark.

15:05 Cork Handicap 6f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	10 1st (10) (50/1 -213%) Expressova	50 50/1(-213%)	(10) Expressova 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1 and visored for 1st time, last of 19 in minor event at the Curragh (7f, good to soft). Off 12 months. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Showed a hint of ability in three starts last year; tongue-tie on after a year away.

Latest win at Navan in June. 14/1 and blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 11 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, good) 45 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Respected with Keane on board again. All 3 wins at 5f, incl' two at this track; handles soft and was 4th in this race last year.
4	7 4th (7) (12/1 -85%) Linger For Longer	12 12/1(-85%)	(7) Linger For Longer 12/1, C&D winner. Winner here in July. 5/1, last of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 20 days ago. Off the mark over C&D in July but well below that level back here since; handles soft.
5th	6 5th (6) (10/3 +49%) Iva Batt	3.333333 10/3(+49%)	(6) Iva Batt 10/3, Course winner. 6/1, better than result when tenth of 17 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good to soft) 8 days ago, travelling as well as any but finding less than looked likely. Has good chance on pick of form. Three wins incl' over 5f here; below form last three starts but handles this ground.
6th	8 6th (8) (9/1 +0%) Saturn Seven	9 9/1(+0%)	(8) Saturn Seven 9/1, Winner at Limerick in June. Below form fourth of 8 in claimer at Gowran (8f, good, 11/1) 20 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back down in trip. Visor on 1st time. Won a 7f Limerick handicap in June but well below that level twice since; visor tried.
7th	3 7th (3) (11/2 -22%) Transcendental	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(3) Transcendental 11/2, Winner at the Curragh in May. Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Laytown (6f) 14 days ago. Enters calculations. Three wins in varying ground; not bad efforts lately; 2lb below last winning mark.
8th	9 8th (9) (5/1 +29%) Daisy Jones	5 5/1(+29%)	(9) Daisy Jones 5/1, Visored for 1st time, respectable sixth of 13 in maiden (8/1) at the Curragh (6f, good to soft). Off 123 days. Makes handicap debut. Has run well in defeat several times in maidens; handles this ground and chance off break.
9th	11 9th (11) (9/1 +44%) Starnight	9 9/1(+44%)	(11) Starnight 9/1, Winner at Nottingham in May. 50/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form ninth of 17 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Others more persuasive. Won a Nottingham handicap on soft in May but below that level twice lately; needs more.
10th	5 10th (5) (16/1 +0%) Freedom Falls	16 16/1(+0%)	(5) Freedom Falls 16/1, Winner at Navan in July. 28/1, last of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good) 45 days ago, hampered. Others have achieved more. Won a Navan maiden in soft ground but well below that form in a Curragh handicap since.

LTO Selection:

COUMSHINGAUN might be able to bounce back to form in this competitive heat. After three places efforts in early summer, the Fastnet Rock four-year-old was successful at the Curragh in July but has been ultimately disappointing since. Fitted with cheekpieces for the first time now and with teenage apprentice Calum Hogan claiming a valuable 10lb, it'll be disappointing if she fails to make an impact. Handicap debutant Daisy Jones is given second preference. The Takashi Kodama trained five-year-old had four subsequent winners in behind when second on her penultimate start at Navan and she looks well-treated here on a mark of 64. A dual course victor, top-weight Screen Siren is sure to have plenty of supporters as she bids to win over six-furlongs for the first time. Amanirenas, Iva Batt and Saturn Seven are other leading hopes.

A chance is taken on the Ado McGuinness-trained IVA BATT who shaped better than the result last time and has dipped to a career-low mark. Screen Siren wasn't seen to best effect at the Curragh last time and it's interesting Colin Keane retains the ride so she's second choice ahead of Gavin Cromwell's Transcendental.

Proven in soft ground and capable of running well fresh, DAISY JONES might be able to get off the mark on handicap debut.

8th	9 8th (9) (7/1 +30%) With Style	7 7/1(+30%)	(9) With Style 7/1, Fifth of 10 in maiden (14/1) at Leopardstown (7.3f, good) on debut 75 days ago. That race has worked out and she can improve back from a break. 150,000euros yearling who held a Moyglare entry when midfield at Leopardstown.

LTO Selection:

WENDLA is a granddaughter of Hasili, which produced six Group 1 winners, including Dansili and this filly's dam Intercontinental. Intercontinental has yet to produce a foal of note and while the selection is her 12th, is by a stallion which has produced smart soft-ground winners and represents a yard with an excellent course record. Ezeliya was supported when showing promise on debut. Out of a Group 2 winner and from the family of Ascot Gold Cup winners Enzeli and Estimate, she should improve from Leopardstown - having been slowly away, but meets softer ground. Flight Of Fancy is a sister to six smart winners, including top-level victor Johannes Vermeer. Her rider also claims 5lb but her yard's debutantes generally improve from debut. Stablemate Get looks second-string but is a sister to three black-type performers and was a 360,000gns yearling. Into The Grove, a half-sister to a Group 2 winner, and Higher Leaves, a half-sister to a Group 3 winner, could each be smart. Whisper A Prayer was behind Ezeliya on debut while With Style needs to improve.

WENDLA is one of a number of interesting newcomers and gets the vote before market clues. Aidan O'Brien runs an appealing pair in Flight of Fancy and Get, while Dermot Weld's Ezeliya is the clear pick of those with experience and seems sure to improve.

The newcomers are interesting but EZELIYA ran a really nice first race at Leopardstown.

16:15 Cork Listed 8f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	13 1st (13) (12/1 +64%) Foniska	12 12/1(+64%)	(13) Foniska 12/1, Useful filly who went backwards from reappearance when down the field at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm, 40/1), going off too hard. Off 95 days. Probably found the ground too fast when last seen in a handicap at Royal Ascot.
2	5 2nd (5) (10/1 +29%) Snapraeterea	10 10/1(+29%)	(5) Snapraeterea 10/1, Useful gelding. Course winner. 8/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Listowel (8f, soft) 7 days ago, never nearer. Yard in good form. Hasn't been running badly off a tough mark in handicaps, latterly only last week.
3	7 3rd (7) (6/1 +50%) Clever And Cool	6 6/1(+50%)	(7) Clever And Cool 6/1, Useful filly. 18/1, below form 8 lengths fifth of 9 to Go Athletico in Renaissance Stakes at the Curragh (6f, soft) 2 days ago, again very slowly away. Slow starter but smart on her day and 6f was too sharp at the Curragh on Sunday.
4	3 4th (3) (5/1 +0%) Lord Massusus	5 5/1(+0%)	(3) Lord Massusus 5/1, Smart gelding. 3 wins from 6 runs this year and again ran well when 2 lengths fourth of 10 in Dullingham Park Stakes at Leopardstown (8f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Should remain competitive. Group 2 last time wasn't run to suit; the highest rated of these.
5th	9 5th (9) (50/1 +0%) Flame Of Eire	50 50/1(+0%)	(9) Flame Of Eire 50/1, Useful filly. 50/1, well-beaten last of 11 in Denny Cordell Lavarack & Lanwades Stud Fillies Stakes at Fairyhouse (9.1f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Big improver last year but that came at a cost and she's now looking hard to place.
6th	10 6th (10) (15/2 +17%) Statement	7.5 15/2(+17%)	(10) Statement 15/2, Useful mare who won this race last year. Yet to fire this term but possibly needed the run after 5 months off when 9 lengths seventh of 10 to Clever And Cool in Fairy Bridge Stakes (5/1) at Tipperary (7.5f, good to soft) 23 days ago. This is deeper than the renewal she won last year; disappointed three weeks ago.
7th	2 7th (2) (10/1 -54%) Self Belief	10 10/1(-54%)	(2) Self Belief 10/1, Smart gelding who put a couple of lacklustre efforts behind when winning 4-runner Meld Stakes at Leopardstown (9f, good to soft) 68 days ago, well on top finish. Good chance of backing that up. Back to his best when conceding weight to a wave of 3yos in a Group 3 at Leopardstown.
8th	11 8th (11) (66/1 -100%) Dame Kiri	66 66/1(-100%)	(11) Dame Kiri 66/1, Fairly useful filly. 12 lengths eighth of 10 in Fairy Bridge Stakes (33/1) at Tipperary (7.5f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Uphill task. Hasn't cut the mustard in Listed/Group races this season and tries more new headgear.
9th	8 9th (8) (10/3 +52%) Proud And Regal	3.333333 10/3(+52%)	(8) Proud And Regal 10/3, Useful colt who possibly failed to stay when 13 lengths seventh of 9 to Auguste Rodin in Irish Derby at the Curragh (12f, good to firm, 33/1) 86 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Very smart 2yo; commands respect at this level after tackling Group 1s of late.
10th	12 10th (12) (16/1 +36%) Fast Tara	16 16/1(+36%)	(12) Fast Tara 16/1, Useful filly. Winner at Bellewstown in April. 9/1, excellent third of 10 in handicap at Listowel (8f, soft) 7 days ago. Can give another good account. Third in a handicap at Listowel last week but has plenty more on her plate here.
11th	6 11th (6) (50/1 -52%) Bay Of Plenty	50 50/1(-52%)	(6) Bay Of Plenty 50/1, Useful gelding. Blinkered for 1st time, last of 9 in minor event (17/2) at Meydan (7f). Off 7 months. Difficult ask. Useful 2yo but he never got going at all in Dubai earlier this year.
12th	1 12th (1) (5/1 -11%) Power Under Me	5 5/1(-11%)	(1) Power Under Me 5/1, Smart gelding. Course winner. 11/1, creditable length fourth of 10 in Minstrel Stakes at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to soft) 61 days ago, finishing with running left. Return to 1m will suit and one to consider. Penalised but he returns to a Listed race with plenty in his favour.
13th	14 13th (14) (28/1 -133%) Madly Truly	28 28/1(-133%)	(14) Madly Truly 28/1, Lightly-raced winner. 12 lengths ninth of 14 in listed race at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft, 7/2). Off 146 days. Yard in good form. Tongue strap on 1st time. Smart but has been off since early May and returns in a tongue-tie, so bit to prove.

LTO Selection:

Dependable POWER UNDER ME is suited by this distance and soft ground. His form at a mile is smart and while he shoulders top weight, holds Lord Massusus on a good run in a July Group 2, when he met minor traffic. Three-year-old Lord Massusus also likes a mile and won a Group 3 in August. He has 4.6 lengths to find with the selection on July Leopardstown form and, due to weight-for-age, is now 2lb worse off. Self Belief revels in soft and also won a Group 3 in July. He too is dependable but dropping to a mile mightn't be ideal. French import Caracal likes this distance and while he has more on his plate than at Tipperary, likes soft and should progress fitness-wise from that 511-days reappearance run. The dropped-in-grade Proud And Regal won a juvenile Group 1 over this distance but might now prefer a longer distance.

CARACAL made an encouraging start to life with Joseph O'Brien when landing a small-field minor event at Tipperary 23 days ago and, providing he comes out of that okay (stood little racing in France), he looks capable of following up. Power Under Me and Self Belief are a couple of credible rivals.

A very deep renewal of this Listed race. SELF BELIEF has a penalty but this lightly raced 4yo gave weight to some useful 3yos last time

16:15 Cork Listed 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:50 Cork Handicap 8f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (8/1 +11%) Helpmeout	8 8/1(+11%)	(7) Helpmeout 8/1, Last of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good) 33 days ago. Stable having good spell and well weighted if she can cast that run aside. Wasn't at her best a month ago but had been running well in defeat.
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 -20%) Catena Zapata	12 12/1(-20%)	(3) Catena Zapata 12/1, 9/4, respectable second of 18 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, soft). Off 11 months. Down in trip. Fairly useful on the Flat and in very good hands. Off for a year; both wins on the AW but does have comparable form on turf.
3	6 3rd (6) (3/1 +33%) Trachonitus	3 3/1(+33%)	(6) Trachonitus 3/1, Good second of 5 in minor event (4/1) at Galway (8.6f, good to soft) 14 days ago, slowly away. Given a chance back in a handicap. Good run last time and he defied this mark in a Curragh handicap last year.
4	2 4th (2) (3/1 +33%) Something Nice	3 3/1(+33%)	(2) Something Nice 3/1, Course winner. Winner here in April. 11/8, fifth of 7 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good) 41 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Excuses last time; course winner who enjoys soft ground and looks a major player.
5th	11 5th (11) (28/1 +15%) Blackberry Jack	28 28/1(+15%)	(11) Blackberry Jack 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 12 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Downpatrick (17.8f, good) 29 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Remains a maiden and he ran moderately over jumps at Downpatrick last month.
6th	4 6th (4) (14/1 -17%) Higher Kingdom	14 14/1(-17%)	(4) Higher Kingdom 14/1, 5/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 42 days ago, though carried his head awkwardly. Back down in trip. Five AW wins; 0-18 on turf but was placed at this year's Galway festival.
7th	1 7th (1) (25/1 -79%) Jungle Cove	25 25/1(-79%)	(1) Jungle Cove 25/1, Fourth of 5 in minor event (10/1) at Punchestown (9f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Stable in good form. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Can make presence felt. Below par this season and unlikely to appreciate today's softening conditions.
8th	12 8th (12) (6/1 +33%) Encosta	6 6/1(+33%)	(12) Encosta 6/1, 11/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Punchestown (9f, good to soft) 13 days ago, slowly away. Had excuses last time and had been knocking on the door in Leopardstown handicaps.
9th	9 9th (9) (20/1 -25%) National Emblem	20 20/1(-25%)	(9) National Emblem 20/1, 16/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 5 in minor event at Roscommon (10f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Yard in good form. Blinkers on 1st time. Now goes in blinkers after cheekpieces did nothing for him three weeks ago; bit risky.
10th	10 10th (10) (4/1 +38%) Sirjack Thomas	4 4/1(+38%)	(10) Sirjack Thomas 4/1, 13/2, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Listowel (7.1f, soft) 7 days ago, barely adequate test. Has to be taken very seriously back over 1m. Seven-time winner who arrives here on the back of some solid efforts in defeat.

LTO Selection:

Keen-going TRACHONITUS likes testing ground and ran well on his reappearance following a 141-days layoff recently. Out of a Group 3 winner and a half-brother to a Listed winner, he bumped into Paddington at Naas last March and having run well against a seasoned campaigner at Galway, should again run well from 4lb higher. Something Nice is also suited by soft and while he beat the selection by four and a quarter lengths at Naas in April, is 5lb worse off and is marginally more exposed. Sheyya has run just twice this year but caught the eye when finishing well here in August. She is unproven on soft but should improve at this distance and has dropped 4lb. Seven-time winner Sirjack Thomas continues in fine form and likes easy ground but isn't ahead of the handicapper. Colin Keane rides Catena Zapata but is probably best watched on reappearance against race-fit rivals while Encosta disappointed 13 days ago but has place claims on earlier form.

Competitive fare but SIRJACK THOMAS will find this trip much more suitable than 7f so he just about gets the vote. Trachonitus and Helpmeout head the opposition.

A chance is taken on SOMETHING NICE, whose latest defeat can be excused with that only four days after running so well at the Curragh.

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (11/2 -38%) Zephron	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(7) Zephron 11/2, Twenty runs since last win in 2021. 4/1, very good second of 11 in handicap at Listowel (7.1f, soft) 7 days ago. Merits consideration. Did well to go close last week at Listowel (7f, soft) after losing his position.
2	19 2nd (19) (9/2 +55%) Breezy Zoff	4.5 9/2(+55%)	(19) Breezy Zoff 9/2, One win from 21 Flat runs. 8/1, below form seventh of 15 in handicap at Listowel (8f, soft) 5 days ago, not much room. RESERVE. First reserve; on a handy mark and runner-up in three of last five starts.
3	11 3rd (11) (12/1 +14%) Swiss Army Officer	12 12/1(+14%)	(11) Swiss Army Officer 12/1, C&D winner. Creditable fourth of 18 in handicap at this course (7f, good to soft, 14/1) 27 days ago. Runs plenty of good races, as the case here last time when fourth in a big field.
4	17 4th (17) (14/1 +58%) Tasmanian Girl	14 14/1(+58%)	(17) Tasmanian Girl 14/1, Very good fifth of 13 in handicap at Roscommon (11.6f, good to soft, 25/1) 22 days ago, nearest finish. Significantly back down in trip. One of her better runs when a keeping-on fifth at Roscommon but that was over nearly 1m4f.
5th	9 5th (9) (9/1 +0%) Skontonovski	9 9/1(+0%)	(9) Skontonovski 9/1, Course winner. Latest win at Dundalk in August. 5/1, twelfth of 15 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good) 20 days ago. Has won over 1m in the mud and on a fair mark if bouncing back from his latest blip.
6th	6 6th (6) (16/1 -33%) Stormie Outlook	16 16/1(-33%)	(6) Stormie Outlook 16/1, Last of 10 in handicap (25/1) at Laytown (7.2f) 14 days ago. Fair fourth at Clonmel and can put a line through her Laytown run.
7th	1 7th (1) (28/1 -12%) Awqaat	28 28/1(-12%)	(1) Awqaat 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1, sixth of 7 in maiden at Clonmel (9.6f, good) 19 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Good ground an excuse last time; previous maiden effort of on soft brings her into it.
8th	13 8th (13) (18/1 +10%) Lisabetta	18 18/1(+10%)	(13) Lisabetta 18/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Fourteenth of 15 in handicap (18/1) at Gowran (8f, good) 20 days ago. Stable having good spell. Never figured after starting slowly back at Gowran and she can do that.
9th	4 9th (4) (33/1 -32%) Broad Daylight	33 33/1(-32%)	(4) Broad Daylight 33/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap (25/1) at Galway (8.6f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Some maiden promise but has yet to make an impact in handicaps; enough to prove.
10th	8 10th (8) (11/2 +45%) Bang Po	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(8) Bang Po 11/2, Bit below form tenth of 23 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good, 11/2) 44 days ago. Second at Galway before drier ground found him out at the Curragh.
11th	14 11th (14) (14/1 +30%) Well Suited	14 14/1(+30%)	(14) Well Suited 14/1, Thirty seven runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 13 in handicap (18/1) at Clonmel (9.6f, good) 19 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. One to consider. Runs well now and again and always a chance that blinkers could lift him.
12th	16 12th (16) (20/1 +0%) Samhradh	20 20/1(+0%)	(16) Samhradh 20/1, Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good to soft, 12/1) 146 days ago. Difficult ask. Weakened into fifth in a Gowran handicap on final sighting in May; others safer.
13th	10 13th (10) (18/1 +55%) Miss Molly T	18 18/1(+55%)	(10) Miss Molly T 18/1, One win from 26 Flat runs. 25/1, fourteenth of 17 in handicap at this course (7f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Only 1-26; lost her way for previous yard and yet to turn things around for this one.
14th	2 14th (2) (7/1 -56%) Asisaid	7 7/1(-56%)	(2) Asisaid 7/1, Blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 18-runner handicap at Naas (8f, soft, 14/1) 62 days ago. The more rain the better and he can go well again up 3 lb. Only 3lb higher than when the blinkers worked so well first time at Naas.
15th	18 15th (18) (22/1 +12%) Where R U Now Bob	22 22/1(+12%)	(18) Where R U Now Bob 22/1, Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Clonmel (9.6f, good, 33/1) 19 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive. AW winner but opposable on his minor form in turf handicaps; new headgear.
16th	12 16th (12) (20/1 -67%) Corballis Flyer	20 20/1(-67%)	(12) Corballis Flyer 20/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Thirteenth of 15 in handicap (9/2) at Gowran (7f, soft) 59 days ago, finding little. First run for yard after leaving James M. Barrett. Only 2-30 but knocking on the door until last time and now in a new yard.
17th	15 17th (15) (40/1 +20%) Vivezza	40 40/1(+20%)	(15) Vivezza 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, tenth of 15 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Has stamina to prove but one of the few open to some improvement.
18th	5 18th (5) (33/1 +18%) Golden Warrior	33 33/1(+18%)	(5) Golden Warrior 33/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Visored for 1st time, twelfth of 25 in handicap (80/1) at this course (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Chance on old form. Mostly well beaten this year and the visor did nothing for him last time.

LTO Selection:

BANG PO ran notably well when second at the Galway festival and competes from a career low rating. His juvenile form was over sprint distances but has good recent form at this distance and finished mid-field when dropped to seven furlongs at the Curragh last month. Nine days earlier, he had finished second and between two well-handicapped, subsequent winners over this distance at Galway. Asisaid won in first-time blinkers in July and while absent since, connections might have been waiting for easy ground. His form is in-and-out but blinkers are reapplied and he is just 3lb higher than when winning at Naas. Zephron has been running well over seven furlongs, likes soft ground and is just 1lb higher than when second at Listowel last week. Samhradh returns from a break and is open to progression being a lightly-raced three-year-old. Skontonovski likes a mile and is ground-versatile but was well held at Gowran recently while Tasmanian Girl wasn't beaten far at Roscommon but drops markedly in distance.

ASISAID won well in first-time blinkers at Naas when last seen in July and can strike again, with any further rain in his favour. Zephron and Well Suited are a couple of others to note.

The filly STORMIE OUTLOOK ran well at Clonmel before an excusable failure on the beach at Laytown and she earns a tentative nod.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
