Preview cork 3rd Aug

Following the extravaganza that is the Galway Festival, racing fans are allowed barely a brief moment to catch their breath before Cork stages a high-quality Monday card.

The Group Three Ladbrokes Give Thanks Stakes is the one most racegoers will be eager to witness, with Beauty O'Gwaun attempting to atone for her Irish Oaks flop.

John Oxx's filly is joined by stablemate Tanoura, while a Ballydoyle trio is headed by Epsom disappointment Perfect Truth.

Dance Pass is worth bearing in mind, but Beach Bunny and Shreyas will present the three-year-olds with a stern test.

The Listed Platinum Stakes provides able support to the feature and represents a drop in class for Oh Goodness Me.

Jim Bolger's Classic placegetter has had her stamina limitations exposed in two Oaks and this mile distance is perfect for her.

Jumbajukiba took this a couple of years ago and he always runs his race, but the biggest danger may come from Latin Love, whose second to She's Our Mark has been boosted by the winner's subsequent defeat of Casual Conquest.

Eytarna had the option of running in the Give Thanks but Oxx has decided to keep her sights low and she's a leading player in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap.

This is no straightforward task, though. Glebe Queen wasn't disgraced behind Firey Red at Naas, while top-weight Kitty Hawk Miss and the unexposed Ransomed Bride also enter the equation.

The booking of Johnny Murtagh catches the eye on Mutadarek in the Newmarket Handicap.

Jumping action kicks off the fixture at 2.35 and the opening Killetra Maiden Hurdle may go to Another Jayjay if he can translate his progressive Flat form to this sphere.

The Cork Handicap Hurdle is a decent opportunity for Michael Hourigan's versatile mare Tubber Gael Holly, although there is plenty of opposition in a wide-open affair.
