Cork Race 3 - Bar 1 Casino Maiden Hurdle (Div 1)
Little worthwhile form on offer. LORD ROUGE (10) was a fair second on his only outing in a point to point during the spring. Joins powerful owners and Gordon Elliott for his rules career and could prove hard to beat. DANI DONADONI (4) found success on debut then managed a solid fourth last time out. Any runner from the Willie Mullins yard warrants serious respect. TIME IS A THIEF (15) finished second in a point to point two years ago and is one to watch for the future. MAHON FALLS (19) produced a runner-up effort for Willie Mullins and warrants a market check after three second place finishes in four starts.

Four-year-old gelding by Maxios out of Isola Bella has taken a long time to make it to the track. Having his first start today. Making race debut here. Doesn't profile as the likely winner.

He is resuming after a eight months break. Finished off last preparation 16 of 22 runners at Punchestown May 2 over 3822m, 97 len behind Soldier In Milan with 76kg at $34. First ever race start 3 of 10 runners at Kildorrery P2p March 1 over 4828m, slow track; 6 len behind Keep Him Company carrying 61kg. Win here would shock.
