Greywell for Geraghty

Racing: Barry Geraghty can get a potentially lucrative Easter weekend off to a good start at Cork today

Racing: Barry Geraghty can get a potentially lucrative Easter weekend off to a good start at Cork today. The former champion takes the ride on Greywell in the Murphys Handicap Hurdle, which highlights the start of the track's holiday festival.

Greywell looks a reasonable bet to go one better than a second to Healy's Pub last time, but Geraghty might not be finished there.

The Hourigan-trained King Carew and Tony Martin's Bizet might be the top ones in the market for the Beginners Chase, but Geraghty's mount, Master Badsworth, holds a shout too based on a Listowel second last time out.

Michael Kinane will be fancied to win the opener on the Seeking The Gold filly Follow, but he also looks to be a significant booking for Amiata in the sprint handicap.

Tadhg O'Shea is on Cool Cousin in the seven furlong handicap and the step up to the trip should work for the Halford runner.

Cool Cousin was 12th to Avorado at the Curragh over six furlongs but was beaten only three lengths and the benefit of that outing can be evident today.

At tomorrow's fixture, Timawari, a son of Sadler's Wells and Timarida, looks nailed on for the first after an eye-catching Curragh debut.

In the other maiden, Alexander Anapolis brings a 96 rating and a recent run behind Sissy Slew at Tipperary on Wednesday. It's a combination that can spell victory for the Prendergast-trained runner.

Macs Gildoran has almost a stone in hand of Kadoun on the ratings for the Listed chase, but the trip and Denis Cullen's claim give Kadoun a big shout of upsetting the odds.

Alan Crowe is a significant booking for the Eddie Hales-trained Light Des Mulottes in the bumper.
