6:32 Kilbeggan Tips

NATIVE SPEAKER may have more left in the tank despite being raised 9lb , led most of way last time and stayed on strongly after 5 month break , may be even fitter today to negate the weight increase

A major staying chase and a very competitive renewal. Uncle Pat looks the pick after showing strong staying credentials and a profile that suits this marathon test. He has the class to cope with this level, and a sound jumping performance over this trip would put him firmly in the mix.

RAGLAN ROAD has won a hurdle race and a chase from 2m 3f to 3m 1f a winner on his latest outing in a chase over 3m 1f at PUNCHESTOWN LAST MONTH course distance and going should suit seems well treated and could well be able to go in again and win this race

Been running well in hunter chases including a win over a couple of furlongs less, off a good mark today in handicap company, from top stable ground in its favour

This progressive chaser is massively well-handicapped on our speed and form metrics, boasting a huge mathematical advantage over his current mark. He thrives when allowed to dictate the pace from the front, and in a race where the early tempo looks likely to be steady, he should find himself perfectly positioned to control the flow. With optimal ground conditions and an unexposed profile over marathon trips, he looks primed to exploit a very lenient handicap rating.

Were getting double figure odds here for Henry De Bromhead's 10 year old Gelding AMIRITE which is huge. This Son of SHOLOKHOV won this contest last year just 3lbs lighter & finished 2nd the year before off today's mark (142) then followed up with a very respectable 4th in the Galway plate since then we've had a 29f stretch @Cheltenham a spin through the mud over hurdles @Thurles then to be fair bit off more then he could chew at the grand national (although Gave it a real good go before fading). This drop back to quicker ground is definitely more preferable. Jockey Patrick O'Brien sheds. Very useful 5lbs.

Mark is eight pounds higher than for Cork win last November, but he followed up that effort with a frame making effort at Fairyhouse and he's one pound lower today. If fully primed after four months off could get involved.
