Rooster out to continue winning streak at Cork

Rooster Byron goes for a fourth win on the bounce in Sunday's Kevin McManus Bookmaker Handicap Hurdle at Cork.
The seven-year-old has been in excellent form for Paul Nolan, winning over fences at Clonmel in March before striking over hurdles at Limerick in April and Cork in May.
He shoulders top weight as he returns to action in this 12-runner affair, with Brex Drago the next best in the weights after his own winning run was recently brought to an end.
Nolan also has a live chance in the I.N.H. Stallion Owners EBF Beginners Chase with Castafiore Park who was a hurdles winner on her most recent start at Wexford in May.
Gordon Elliott 's Jaunty Thor is a likely favourite as he goes for a third win this month in the Matchbook Betting Exchange Handicap Chase.
Top weight Deans Road and Act In Time who was pulled up on his most recent run, are others for the shortlist.
The opening Matchbook Time To Move Over Maiden Hurdle has drawn a big field, with Elliott again appearing to hold the ace in the pack in Eclair De Beufeu, who was beaten just three-quarters of a length on his debut for the trainer. Alpha Male was a winner for Peter Maher at the Punchestown Festival and returns to action in the McCarthy Plant & Agri Sales Hunters Chase.
