T: Ross O’Sullivan

Won a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle in July 2024 (19.5f, gd-yld) for Kevin Prendergast; hasn't really threatened in three handicaps this term but now drops into 0-100 company and her yard is flying; could go well in first-time blinkers.

T: Ross O’Sullivan

Kilbeggan maiden hurdle winner last year (2m3f, good to yielding) returned from an absence with a solid third at Cork for new stable; found to be clinically abnormal at Kilbeggan latest when below-par; good chance if in full of her health; tongue tie on.

Won a maiden hurdle over slightly further at this track last year for the late Kevin Prendergast; solid third at Cork on return; should have improved from that and be involved off the same mark.

T: Ross O’Sullivan

Won a 19.5f Kilbeggan maiden hurdle (gd-yld) for the late Kevin Prendergast in July 2024; has been off since a below par run at Tramore just under a year ago; might need this first run for Ross O'Sullivan.

Bounced back to form with a last gasp success in a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle last month; no match for Jumping Susie in a handicap over the same C&D two weeks later; others preferred.
