Cork Race 1 - Kearney's Coaches Maiden Hurdle
LYNCHES KNOCK (6) Honest race when 3rd last run in a hurdle at Naas and solid career start. Jockey Josh Williamson riding for trainer Gordon Elliott command respect. Warrants a bet. DAWN COMING (2) Finished 2nd last time in a hurdle at Thurles. Appears well in this. DEEP WARRIOR (3) 4yo by Saxon Warrior having first race start for trainer Gavin Cromwell. Betting is the best guide. BEAR CREEK (1) Fresh after a break of 29 weeks. Subpar when 10th last run at Killarney. Likely to get back. Large claim helps. Cracking each way value.

First up after a break of 29 weeks. Odds of $3.25 and disappointing run when 10th last run at Killarney. Likely to get back in the field. Watch for a sign in the market.

Jumped at $41.00 and sub-standard effort when 8th last start in a hurdle at Navan. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Appears tested.

Back from a break. Started at $11.00 and clearly outclassed when 9th last start at Amiens but going over more ground. The large claim from James Smith should help. Can't leave out of your calculations.
