5:56 Kilbeggan Tips

Point winner who has yet to win under rules, but her performances since joining her current handler suggest her turn could be near. Her last two runs were easily her best to date and a sign that she is improving. At the top of the handicap today, but a useful claimer takes seven pounds off, which could be crucial.

Not seen since October but had been in good form with two second-place finishes and a win from the last three races. Should be there or thereabouts on return.

Kept out the back in most of his starts so far. Point winner over 3 miles. Trained by Gavin Cromwell. Made some progress late on at Clonmel last month, and with a first-time tongue strap attached on slightly better ground may have more to offer this evening at Kilbeggan.

There are a few reasons that I think this horse could be worth chancing. First, he's generally been competitive over hurdles and is down to a good mark. Second, an in-form claimer takes off a useful five pounds. Third, he has previously gone well after a break. You can make claims for several of these, but I expect this horse to go close.

A reliable option each-way at 20/1, since she has proven herself as a winner on sharp, right-handed tracks and is capable of handling diverse ground conditions. She is participating in a 0-100 handicap hurdle, which is typically a fitting level for her to leverage her established stamina.

This is the trainer's only entry he's got out today. This one will be fitter for its last run. They have the same 7 lb claimer on, as this is his only ride of the day. Worth a small each-way saver bet for the five places available.

I'm a little late to the plate here as I was so tired when looking at this card which has seen Micheal Price's 10 year old Gelding JINXS LINK shrink from 66's to the current 28's were getting now & it's not too difficult to make a case for this Son of DYLAN THOMAS who's last few runs can be dismissed (a debut chase run & a run through the mud @Fairyhouse). This charge loves a tight track & knows how to win here @Kilbeggan will much prefer this faster ground. There could be questions raised about this trip which is valid as he's had 4 attempts which have yielded nothing but did win here over 18f by 5 lengths off a mark of 89. Top jockey JJ Slevin takes the reins. A chance can be taken.
