UK Horse Racing Tips: Kilbeggan

SUMMER GALE can be another winner for in-form Jessica Harrington. The Camelot gelding wasn't beaten far when third to a smart horse in a Cork bumper last summer and ran creditably in some Flat maidens thereafter. If he puts in a good round of jumping, he's potentially a cut above these rivals. Arnacoeur was third over course and distance in April and filled the same spot at Ballinrobe last time. He can put his experience to good use. Rocket Spirit was a huge price when runner-up over a longer trip here last month and is open to further improvement.
Prediction : 1st Summer Gale 2nd Arnacoeur 3rd Rocket Spirit

CHIEFS KINGDOM showed promise in a couple of strong maidens during the winter and may now be poised to strike after finishing second at Killarney. Paul Nolan's charge went down by only half a length and should strip fitter here after that first run of the year. Men Of Dreams has to put behind him a poor run at Ballinrobe, but shaped well the time before when third at this venue on hurdling debut. Young Darleen was second to a filly who had been contesting Grade 1 contests at Wexford. That was over 2m4f and this will be more of a test of speed.
Prediction : 1st Chiefs Kingdom 2nd Men Of Dreams 3rd Young Darleen

Galway Festival bumper winner WHAT PATH wasn't right when pulled up on hurdling debut at Listowel and showed his true colours when winning a maiden over this trip at Tipperary last month. He doesn't mind good ground and can follow up. The Short Go was second to a subsequent Cheltenham Festival winner at Naas last year and won easily over 2m4f here in May after six months off. He's trying three miles for the first time. Jumping Jet was second over this trip at Wexford after winning a Leopardstown maiden and may fare better than stablemate Stuzzikini, whose form is over two miles.
Prediction : 1st What Path 2nd The Short Go 3rd Jumping Jet

FLEMENSREVA showed much improved form when second over course and distance last month. Stepping up to this trip clearly suited and she can go one place better off a 2lb higher mark. More Info is from a good family and the bumper winner ran well on her second start after two years out of action when fifth to a subsequent winner at Punchestown. That was over 2m3f and she may be capable of better over this longer trip. A Dublin Job has plenty of stamina and was beaten less than a length over this trip at Tipperary last year. He was still battling away in second when coming down at the final flight at Downpatrick last month and the locally-trained gelding can contend again.
Prediction : 1st Flemensreva 2nd More Info 3rd A Dublin Job

PRINCESS SOPHIA made a winning start for her new trainer Ciaran Murphy at Punchestown and can follow up from a 7lb higher mark. A first-time hood helped her to settle and front-running tactics are likely to be employed again around this sharp circuit. Movie King chased home the selection last time and a 5lb swing in the weights gives him every chance on paper, although he was also in at Down Royal on Friday evening. He has won on the Polytrack at Dundalk and good ground will be right up his street. Hidalgo Des Mottes ran his best race so far when third at Tipperary last month and this lightly-raced six-year-old is open to further improvement.
Prediction : 1st Princess Sophia 2nd Movie King 3rd Hidalgo Des Mottes

CHANGING THE RULES looks up to winning a race of this standard. The Walk In The Park gelding stayed on nicely to finish third in a better race won by Senecia at Ballinrobe last month and that form looks good, with the runner-up Hercule Du Seuil going on to score impressively back at the same venue. Takarengo ran a nice race on his chase debut at Clonmel in April when runner-up to Old Soul and has had a spin on the Flat since. He looks a big player and may again hold Magheralin Mick, who was behind him when fourth in Clonmel. Itwasfate won his maiden hurdle around here and looks one to note on his chase debut.
Prediction : 1st Changing The Rules 2nd Takarengo 3rd Itwasfate

PRIORY PARK bumped into an improver when second to Brideswell Lad at Tramore in mid-April and may be able to collect now. The Dylan Thomas gelding was well backed then and stayed on well to the line without getting to the winner. He has won on nice ground in the past and the trip looks fine for him. Broken Ice showed significant improvement when just failing to peg back Stealthy Tom in Killarney last time. If he can reproduce that effort, he's a big player. Shes Some Doll has been knocking on the door and looks place material.
Prediction : 1st Priory Park 2nd Broken Ice 3rd Shes Some Doll

Willie Mullins is hard to oppose in bumpers at the minute and NINTH LOCH can give him another winner. The Footstepsinthesand gelding shaped with promise when fourth on his debut at Punchestown and this looks an easier task now. Gordon Elliott saddles Arabian Diamond and he could be a danger. The Getaway gelding was no match for another Mullins runner in Readin Tommy Wrong at Ballinrobe last time, but it was still a solid effort to fill the runner-up spot. Kalanisi Flash was also second last time, chasing home The Wallpark at Downpatrick, and is another for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Ninth Loch 2nd Arabian Diamond 3rd Kalanisi Flash
