UK Horse Racing Tips: Kilbeggan

This won't take much winning and the likes of First Ascent, Whats New, Tomthescaffolder and Firebrand could all have a say, but POWER OF KNOWLEDGE has the potential to be in a different league to these. Willie Mullins' colt looked in need of the experience when a beaten favourite in a Galway bumper, but the regally-bred individual is related to a couple of smart types, notably stable companion and dual Grade 1 winner Mystical Power, and he looks sure to take a step forward now sent over an obstacle.
Prediction : 1st Power Of Knowledge 2nd First Ascent 3rd Whats New

Combs has gone the wrong way since a promising three-year-old campaign but he's still of interest back in a maiden and so is Texas Red, whose chance wasn't helped by a faller at Ballinrobe. Even so, there is a lot more upside to GOEASYONME. John Ryan's gelding belied odds of 125/1 to finish second on his Rules/hurdling debut at Roscommon last month and any improvement in a contest of this nature may well suffice.
Prediction : 1st Goeasyonme 2nd Combs 3rd Texas Red

It will probably take a decent performance to beat SPLENDID FELLOW, who was last seen finishing a really creditable second at Killarney in May. The subsequent absence is only a slight concern given the current form of Henry De Bromhead's stable and this is undoubtedly his best opportunity to date. Rokanako has shown a fair level of ability in bumpers, which includes a win here, and he is sure to be a threat if taking to this new discipline. Philip Rothwell saddles La Muleta, who warrants a market check on her debut under Rules.
Prediction : 1st Splendid Fellow 2nd Rokanako 3rd La Muleta

IVANA D'ALCO is a headstrong type, but she knuckled down well in the closing stages to land a maiden hurdle at Sligo last time. That was only her second outing over timber, so Willie Mullins' inmate should prove more amenable with experience and there looks plenty more to come from her now handicapping. Steps In The Sand bounced back when narrowly beaten at Bellewstown last week and rates a bigger danger than Chemdawg and Del Boys Diva.
Prediction : 1st Ivana Dalco 2nd Steps In The Sand 3rd Chemdawg

A half-sister to hurdle/chase winner Beggars Rock, Blue Trix represents Willie Mullins' yard and should be noted on debut. Tell Me See improves with every start and is preferred to Tutu Twist, but a chance is taken on NOT IN A HURRY. The son of Walk In The Park would have finished a lot closer to the winner when third here on his racecourse debut, if not for being hampered at the last, and the four-year-old should have learned plenty from that experience.
Prediction : 1st Not In A Hurry 2nd Blue Trix 3rd Tell Me See

DAIRY FORCE looks worthy of another chance after falling when sent off favourite at Down Royal. Gordon Elliott's inmate had finished a creditable third behind the in-form Rightfolksplease at Tramore prior to that and a repeat effort should see him bang there at the finish. Blue Reed has been thereabouts here of late and could make the frame once again, while the returning Jacko Star and Rockstown Girl are others to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Dairy Force 2nd Blue Reed 3rd Jacko Star

PEAT SOUNDS returned the losing favourite when a length third at Sligo on her only start so far but, with the Willie and Patrick Mullins team a dab hand in these events, the Hillstar mare could strike at the second attempt. Velvet Ash looked as if the experience would do her the world of good when a distant fourth at Listowel and she could surprise a few, but Pat O's Rock appears the bigger danger to the selection after her fourth at Wexford for Henry de Bromhead.
Prediction : 1st Peat Sounds 2nd Pat Os Rock 3rd Velvet Ash

Rememberwhat ran his best race yet when second at Kilbeggan on his third start, but he may find others improve past him here in a better quality field. Call My Name was perhaps unlucky at Tramore when badly hampered and then clipping heels two out before finishing fourth. He can go close, but KILLEEDY looks the one. Fourth despite running green at Killarney on debut, she is related to plenty of bumper winners and seems sure to have learned plenty from the experience, while a first-time tongue-tie will also help her cause.
Prediction : 1st Killeedy 2nd Call My Name 3rd Rememberwhat
