Kilbeggan Race 2

Racing At Kilbegganraces.com Novice Hurdle

Stake: $22,914

TOAD HALL (2) opened his hurdling account securing a 10L win at Downpatrick (4425m). Not disgraced in a tougher race at Cheltenham since. Can stay and is the one to beat. COOKE'S LASS (3) was a 2.5L debut winner at Wexford (4123m) in April. Promising and warrants thought. LONG GONE (4) secured a 1L maiden hurdle success at Tramore (3319m) last time. Could make her presence felt if stamina holds (also declared on Saturday). Producing a battling 4023m Sligo win HUNTSGROVE (1) faces a tough task according to official figures. Consistent and in the mix.

Impressive in recent runs. Freshened for 46 days. Last outing finished fourth of 7 runners at Cheltenham on April 16 over 4074m, 9 len behind Jax Junior carrying 73kg at $3.30. The start before that; won by 10 len Downpatrick on March 30 over 4425m defeating Quantum Quest with 71.5kg at $1.60 in a hurdle. Use the win two back as a guide to his chances.

Comments

Freshened since an encouraging debut won by 2.5 len Wexford on April 4 over 4123m defeating Clody Diamond with 73kg at $4.50 in a hurdle. Chance to go for two from two. Can only be improved on that run and looks a key chance.
