Primo Uomo will be on many shortlists for the Cork Racecourse Handicap on Monday after breaking the track record in Dundalk last month.

Gerard O'Leary 's sprinter started his season with a bang as blitzed his rivals over five furlongs on the Polytrack to follow a Curragh victory at the end of the last campaign in October.

He has form on the forecast soft ground and is hard to oppose in such rude health.

If Severus can build upon his sixth place at Leopardstown, he would have prospects in the Friday Evening Meetings At Cork Racecourse Handicap. Pious Alexander began her career when third to Intelligence Cross in a very hot maiden at the Curragh last June. That race has thrown up plenty of winners, so she should have every chance in the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Maiden.

After the first three Flat races on the card, attention switches to National Hunt. Shanklys Dawn got her head in front at Borris House and could follow up in the Glenview & Rathbarry Studs Mares Maiden Hunters Chase. Jammin Masters was a beaten favourite in Downpatrick but might get compensation in the Coolmore N.H. Sires Champs Elysees & Pour Moi Maiden Hunters Chase.

David Christie 's long trip down from County Fermanagh can pay off with Darwins Fox in the Jack Tyner Memorial Hunters Chase.

The 11-year-old ran a cracker when sixth in the Foxhunters' at Aintree. Fabulous Saga was a very impressive winner between the flags and is sure to know his job on his first start for Willie Mullins in the Pegasus Horse Feed Point-To-Point Flat Race. Lackaneen Leader looks a likely sort for Gordon Elliott in the concluding Cork & Waterford Mares Point-To-Point Flat Race.
