After a point-to-point day Cork hosts 8 races on Thursday where the highlight is the 2.30 when 5 begin the Follow Us On Instagram @corkracecourse Hurdle. Bapaume is a smart chaser who was a little below form when finishing 11th in a handicap chase at Leopardstown 46 days ago however he switches to hurdles and goes down in trip here and he shouldn't have any trouble. Department Of War looks like the main threat, he has picked up one win from his three hurdles starts that was at Down Royal by 4 1/2 lengths in January 2020,he was a well-beaten last in the Johnstown Novices Hurdle at Naas when last seen 13 months ago after reportedly breaking a blood vessel if he has recovered significantly and he's on song he can definitely challenge. Of the rest the only one with a big chance is Hammersmith who last ran just 4 days ago when he was fourth in a handicap at The Curragh. He switches from the flat back to hurdles here and should go well.
Big race prediction: 2: Bapaume.
