UK Horse Racing Tips: Kilbeggan

FAST MEDICINE won twice on the Flat for Peter Chapple-Hyam reaching a career high mark of 88 and has been switched to hurdles by current connections this year. He was fourth at Roscommon before weakening in the straight in a stronger maiden on soft ground at Galway. Laelaps has a similar profile having scored twice on the Flat for Jessica Harrington and has raced quite keenly on both hurdle starts this year. Fox Leicester is an experienced sort on the Flat winning six times and has been placed twice over hurdles this year, while All In Peder appreciated good ground when successful twice on the Flat this year including over two miles at Listowel but disappointed on his only hurdle start on soft at Clonmel. Old Port, Nottodaybobo and Bayou Belle are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Fast Medicine 2nd Laelaps 3rd Fox Leicester

THECOMPANYSERGEANT is taken to bounce back from a disappointing reappearance at the Galway Festival in a race that might set up well for him with a number of front runners. The selection was a useful sort in bumpers before winning a Navan maiden hurdle this spring and finishing second in a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse. Men Of Dreams and Mighty Mo Missouri both made all here last time while Shajak also easily won a maiden from the front at Limerick last month before a highly creditable third on the level to Teed Up in the valuable Connacht Hotel Handicap for amateur riders on the opening evening of the Galway Festival. Baltic Bird also enters the equation on his easy win at Cork last time.
Prediction : 1st Thecompanysergeant 2nd Shajak 3rd Baltic Bird

SCOTT LANG won an 18-runner handicap on the Flat at Navan early last year and has been generally consistent since under both codes. The Paul Flynn-trained gelding has been placed on all three starts in maiden hurdles and now tackles handicap company in this sphere for the first time. Good World has won three times over hurdles at varying trips and wasn't beaten far at Galway last time but may find 2m3f a bit sharp around here. Jinxs Link showed improved form when scoring in good style over a similar trip here last month, while Arctic Ambition and Cozone were both placed at Sligo on Wednesday and are certainly a factor if turning out again.
Prediction : 1st Scott Lang 2nd Good World 3rd Jinxs Link

Ginnets Girl had CAMINO ROCK over four lengths behind when the pair were placed behind Mighty Mo Missouri over 2m3f here earlier this month but Mouse Morris' charge may reverse the placings over this longer trip. The selection ran a cracker when a close third to Ballybawn Belter in a 2m4f handicap at the Punchestown Festival and showed he's suited by a test of stamina when also placed behind Grand Soir over 2m7f at Thurles last season. Ginnets Girl has been consistent over a variety of trips and certainly won't lack for experience, while Givago has proved expensive to follow on both outings to date. He was soundly beaten when odds-on for a Sligo bumper and was no match on the run-in for Lake Winnipesaukee in a 2m4f Roscommon maiden hurdle.
Prediction : 1st Camino Rock 2nd Ginnets Girl 3rd Givago

WINNIE WOODNUTT recorded a third point-to-point win this spring and showed her liking for this track when opening her account in a 3m handicap hurdle in April. The selection has been a model of consistency since including when runner-up over fences at Limerick and should relish this step back up in trip. The veteran pair Father Jed and Rudy Catrail have both added to their winning haul this year. The latter has returned in good form this year and after filling the runner-up spot twice, went one better in typically front-running style over this trip at Roscommon last time with Fr Gilligansvoyge back in third. Steps Match won over hurdles at Roscommon last month and now switches back to fences on a reasonable mark.
Prediction : 1st Winnie Woodnutt 2nd Rudy Catrail 3rd Steps Match

Point-to-point winner QUANTUM REALM scored twice over fences last year including a half-length defeat of Gateau De Miel over just short of three miles at Downpatrick. He ran a cracker last time when runner-up to Toss Again in the valuable Galway Blazers Handicap Chase (Desertmore House back in seventh) and a reproduction of that form should make him hard to beat. Mica Malpic showed a nice turn of foot to win over 2m3f here recently and the Enda Bolger-trained gelding showed he's equally well suited by three miles when scoring in fine style at Listowel last autumn. Macgiloney returned to form over hurdles here last time, while My Design also reverts to fences after winning at the Galway Festival. Waitnsee and Gondor, successful at Killarney last month, are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Quantum Realm 2nd Mica Malpic 3rd Gateau De Miel

Willie Mullins continues to dominate in bumpers with six winners in this division over the past three weeks. LISADELL LASS represents the champion trainer and the daughter of Sageburg is a half-sister to three winners including the useful Uncle Tom Cobley plus a couple of bumper winners. Miss Oreo won a point-to-point last December and made much of the running when placed on her bumper debut at the Cork Easter meeting but found the opposition tougher at Galway last time. Barton Snow also won a point-to-point this spring and was only caught close home by Chef D'etat but needs to bounce back following a disappointing effort at Wexford. Answering and The Shantou King have also shown some promise in bumpers, while The Dooner Citizen and Westerhope are newcomers to note in the market.
Prediction : 1st Lissadell Lass 2nd Miss Oreo 3rd The Shantou King
