Cork Race 6 - Rbc Brewin Dolphin Hurdle
PRAIRIE DANCER (5) could prove hard to beat following a strong 1.5L win on the flat over 2414m at the Curragh last time. Capable of going back-to-back now switching to jumps. TAG MAN (3) will appreciate the ease in standard having disappointed among Listed company on penultimate outing before finishing 11L second tackling a 4828m Wexford hurdle. Warrants consideration. REVEREND HUBERT (6) holds claims in view of market support. HAPPY JACKY (1) is a course and distance winner and cannot be dismissed.

Useful type. Last start finished third of 25 starters at Curragh on June 29 over 3218m, 1.3 len behind Lot Of Joy with 51.5kg at $21. The run before finished seventh of 15 runners at Ballinrobe in the LR on May 26 over 4727m, 19 len behind Western Fold carrying 68.5kg at $4.50. Found his best form now. Sure to prove hard to beat.

Last outing didn't finish the race at Bellewstown on July 5 over 4928m. Before that finished seventh of 10 starters at Killarney on May 12 over 4023m, 32 len behind My Gaffer carrying 70kg at $9. Others read better. Might find this a bit too tough.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming finished 15th of 23 runners at Punchestown in the LR on May 1 over 4727m, 25 len behind Jeriko Du Reponet carrying 71.5kg at $51. Second-up finished second in a small field at Wexford on May 28 over 4828m, 11 len behind Lieutenant Mayne with 74.5kg at $3.30. Gets a chance to win. Hard to fault on current form.

Impressive in recent runs. Last run won by 1.5 len Curragh on June 27 over 2414m defeating Solar Breeze with 79kg at $4.20. Race before finished second of 8 runners at Clonmel on June 6 over 4023m, 7 len behind Hms Seahorse carrying 70.5kg at $4. Likely to figure on his return to jumping.
