14:25 Cork Tips — Monday 6th April 2026

Today's 14:25 Cork features a competitive Chase on good ground, but our money is firmly on Gavin Patrick Cromwell's In The Trenches to deliver the goods at EVS. This seven-year-old has been knocking on the door all season and looks primed to finally convert consistency into a deserved win under the capable hands of A. Balfe.

While his form of 23-22F228 includes a fall, it’s crucial to note the underlying quality and persistence shown. Indeed, a significant key trend that jumps out for In The Trenches is his remarkable consistency, having placed in an impressive three of his last five outings. This horse rarely runs a bad race and has clearly found his optimum trip and conditions for this contest.

Operating off an Official Rating of 112, he stands out amongst his rivals and boasts the progressive profile we love to see in winners. Everything points to a big performance here, and we're confident In The Trenches will be hard to peg back once he gets into a rhythm. For those looking for an alternative play, Sky Lord offers a strong each-way proposition, but our main focus remains squarely on the favourite.
