Preview cork 14th Mar

There is a twilight meeting beginning at 3.05 at Cork on Monday and Tennis Cap reverts to the smaller obstacles for the 8-1 Willie Mullins To Train A Cheltenham Winner At Coral.ie Hurdle.

This time two years ago, Mullins' nine-year-old was beating all bar Ted Veale in the County Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, since when he has been campaigned largely over fences, chasing home Smashing in a Thurles Listed heat before again occupying the runner-up berth at that venue, this time behind Lord Scoundrel.

He has four rivals to beat on his return to timber, headed by former stable companion Val De Ferbet, who hasn't been sighted since struggling in the French Champion Hurdle last June and makes his debut for Andrew McNamara.

Prussian Eagle, Velocity Boy and Massini's trap make up the list.

Raz De Maree is another chaser starting off for a new stable over hurdles and reappears in the Bet Now On Every Cheltenham Race At Coral.ie Handicap Hurdle.

The ex-Sandra Hughes inmate was last seen in competitive action pulling up in the Scottish Grand National, and Gavin Cromwell will be hoping that his new recruit can capitalise on a comparatively lenient rating.

Sonny B did just that at Thurles recently and seems the primary threat.

Stolberg justified market support at Limerick on Saturday and is turned out again quickly under a penalty in the Money Back On Fallers At Coral.ie (Q.R.) Handicap Hurdle.

Coole Craft was a beaten favourite at the same circuit the day before but gets the opportunity for swift redemption in the Bet & Watch Irish And UK Racing Live At Coral.ie Handicap Hurdle.

Gran Cavallo might be the one to be on in the Cheltenham Crazy Prices At Coral.ie Maiden Hurdle, while the opening Best Price Guaranteed On All Irish Racing At Coral.ie Maiden Hurdle could be between the juveniles Jewelled Prince, Making Shapes and Walkabout.
