Cork - 17:25: Back Surpass And Shine @ 3/14.00

We stick in Ireland again for Wednesday as the cards at Lingfield at Carlisle are far from refulgent and I am looking to the two divisions of the 7f Handicaps at Cork - both blessed with plenty of runners. A real case of faute de mieux.

Surpass And Shine has got a have a great chance here judged on his Leopardstown second spot last time out. That was his best run to date and was unlucky to be picked off late by a well-handicapped horse.

The feeling looking at the run again was that he perhaps made his move too soon over the 7f - but he was eager to get on with things from a very wide position, so the use of petrol early could have played its part.

He has no problems with good ground and there's more to come over 7f as he'd previously been racing over 5f and 6f, and his excellent trainer might have found the answer.

A 2lb rise puts him well in the mix in a winnable race.

Cork - 17:55: Back Mags @ 11/26.50

Save for the All-Weather horse Suitsyourselfboss, who hasn't been seen since winning 151 days ago, there's barely a runner in form for the 17:55, and at least Mags has a bit of potential after making an encouraging handicap debut recently to make her a standout bet for this race.

There isn't much to beat here, and a replication of that should see her go close.

Her handicap bow came at the Curragh last time in arguably a better race than today's, and over 6f she wasn't quite quick enough to deal with the drop down in distance there, but it was an encouraging run.

Indeed, she was disadvantaged too at Irish HQ as three of the first four home raced nearside, where as Mags was over the far.

She didn't look totally devoid ability either in a Curragh Maiden earlier this summer. Back up in trip to 7f looks a positive to me, and the ground will suit her too from a lowly mark of 62 - just 1lb higher than last time.
