14:25 Cork Tips — Sunday 5th April 2026

The 14:25 Cork presents a fascinating Hurdle contest, but we believe one runner stands head and shoulders above the competition: Kimi De Mai (EVS). This W. P. Mullins-trained gelding, with Harry Cobden in the saddle, looks incredibly difficult to oppose and is our strongest fancy of the day. His credentials are simply too compelling to ignore.

Digging into the form, Kimi De Mai boasts a formidable Official Rating of 121, making him the undisputed top-rated horse in this field by a significant margin. This class edge is a crucial factor on a track like Cork, where genuine ability often shines through. Furthermore, consistency is a hallmark of a reliable bet, and Kimi De Mai delivers precisely that. He’s been remarkably consistent, placing in three of his last five outings, demonstrating both reliability and a willingness to battle. His recent form figures of 533 suggest he’s coming back to peak fitness, and this looks like a prime opportunity to return to the winner's enclosure.

With Mullins and Cobden combining, there’s little doubt Kimi De Mai will be primed for a big run. The EVS price reflects his strong chances, and we’re confident he can convert this strong favouritism into a comfortable victory. He's simply too good for these. For those looking for an each-way alternative, Somersby Roost could outrun his odds and grab a place.
