The Punt Acca: Mark Boylan's three horse racing tips on Sunday

Mercurey (12.45 Cork)

A highly impressive bumper winner on his Gowran debut in January, expect the Willie Mullins-trained Mercurey to get off to a winning start for the season in this 2m1f maiden hurdle. Only a four-year-old, it looked as though he hadn't developed enough to cope with the step into Listed company when turned over at Limerick in March but he could be a different proposition with another summer under his belt now.

Dinoblue (1.45 Cork)

This should be a good opportunity for exciting mare Dinoblue to double her tally over fences for Willie Mullins, who has won this race previously with the likes of Vroum Vroum Mag, Elimay and Concertista. She looked a quality recruit to chasing when winning here three weeks ago.

Meetingofthewaters (2.50 Cork)

An opening mark of 106 looks pretty fair for the Eugene O'Sullivan-trained Meetingofthewaters on his handicap debut, as he attempts to make use of the experience he built up in bumpers and over hurdles. He would have found his latest assignment at Clonmel too sharp over 2m½f but reverting to 2m4f will be in his favour, and that run could sharpen him up nicely for this.
