UK Horse Racing Tips: Kilbeggan

Facile Ocean has posted three creditable efforts in defeat since returning from a 50-day break at this venue in mid-May and he is one of the likelier winners. However, the five-year-old would make more appeal over further and slight preference is for WHOYOUGONNACALL. John Ryan's charge arrives on the back of a good third at Ballinrobe and a similar performance may enable a breakthrough victory. First Ascent is also heading in the right direction and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Whoyougonnacall 2nd Facile Ocean 3rd First Ascent

SYOSSET has been knocking on the door of late and compensation could be on the horizon. John McConnell's gelding came home in second in a 16-runner affair at Cork five days ago and he could prove tough to beat off this mark. Surviving Murmansk filled the runner-up spot in the second division that day, although the winning time suggests improvement may be required. Roscommon fourth Walk Win is also in with a shout.
Prediction : 1st Syosset 2nd Surviving Murmansk 3rd Walk Win

Having looked set to play a part before falling at the second-last at Roscommon, Cooladdi shouldn't be far away if none the worse for that mishap. Mont Star posted his best effort over hurdles when finding only one rival too strong in a 14-runner contest at Cork last month and must also enter calculations. However, with an official rating of 116, TYSON FURY should find this easier than his recent third at the Galway Festival and edges the vote.
Prediction : 1st Tyson Fury 2nd Mont Star 3rd Cooladdi

Bumper winner PETS GEORGINA followed that success with a maiden hurdle success at Killarney last month. Subsequent victories by the third and fourth give that form a solid look and the daughter of Order Of St George will likely prove a warm order to continue winning ways. A Grade 2 winner in 2025 but sent chasing recently, Rocky's Diamond reverts to hurdling with a shout and makes more appeal than the selection's stablemate Drumgill.
Prediction : 1st Pets Georgina 2nd Rockys Diamond 3rd Drumgill

Without a win over hurdles, ANODANDAWINK is proving a different proposition over fences. Ciaran Murphy's charge took a big step forward when winning a handicap chase at Wexford by 10 lengths and there looks plenty more to come from the five-year-old over the larger obstacles. Zolpharine reverts to chasing in his bid for a hat-trick having won over hurdles at Tramore when last in action, while Mistyburn posted a better effort when third at Galway last week and could shape well.
Prediction : 1st Anodandawink 2nd Mistyburn 3rd Zolpharine

John Ryan trained the winner of this in both 2024 and 2025, suggesting he knows the sort needed, and in 2026 he relies on Grange Walk. Brought down at the first here in July he has won four times over fences, all off higher marks, and cannot be ignored. MICKIE ANGEL weakened late on over further when third at Galway but may find this trip and company more to his liking ahead of his eighth start over fences, leaving Punchestown winner Ma Jacks Hill looking to bounce back from his Wexford eighth with a clear round.
Prediction : 1st Mickie Angel 2nd Grange Walk 3rd Ma Jacks Hill

Inishtearaght ran well for a long way at Killarney on his debut before weakening late on and coming home fifth, and with nominal improvement he ought to be a player in this line-up. Appy Ways looks the part on pedigree as a daughter of Blue Bresil and half-sister to bumper winner Appy Getaway, but a chance is taken on CONFIDENCE WITHIN. Owned and trained by Philip Rothwell, he finished a close-up third in his point-to-point at Ballindenisk and is bred to have the speed needed for this distance.
Prediction : 1st Confidence Within 2nd Inishtearaght 3rd Appy Ways
