Cork and Kilbeggan tips: Isle Of Sark can get back to winning ways

Isle Of Sark ran well enough in a Group 3  12 days ago to suggest he can return to winning ways at Cork. Picture: Healy Racing

There is a good Flat programme this afternoon in Cork and Isle Of Sark gets the nap to get back to winning ways in the Blackwater Race. A winner of his only start of last season, in an all-weather maiden at Dundalk in November, he made his turf debut in the Group 3 Ballysax Stakes 12 days ago at Leopardstown and ran better than his fifth placing might suggest.

There was a lack of pace in the race, and he was right out the back before making a move in the straight. He was outpaced momentarily but stayed on again in the closing stages to be beaten a little over three lengths.
