16:45 – SIS Supporting Irish Racing Maiden Hurdle
Race Details: 1m 7f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING (Watering) | | jumps
This looks a fairly ordinary maiden on paper rather than a deep one, and that makes the better-exposed types especially interesting. Try Them sets the standard on the figures and, in truth, his juvenile hurdle form already gives him a clear edge in a race where plenty arrive with weak or patchy profiles. Fabhcun is the obvious threat from a powerful yard if bouncing back from a disappointing final run of last season, while Poet’s Duke is another with scope after just two starts. Diamond Secret has been knocking around without getting his head in front and may again be vulnerable to something with a bit more upside. With 17 runners and plenty of dead wood, it is not impossible to find an each-way angle, but the market leader is hard to knock.
Top Selections
1. Try Them – 2/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Donagh Meyler | Trainer: Emmet Mullins | Form: 6F55- | Rating: 117 | Topspeed: 88
He brings the best hurdle form into the race and that is not a small thing in a maiden of this standard. A mark of 117 and a topspeed of 88 put him clear of most of these, and his last two runs suggest he has already shown enough to win a race like this if returning in the same shape. The fact he is a 4yo carrying less weight than the older horses is another plus over this sharp trip. Emmet Mullins rarely wastes bullets and Try Them, available at 2/1, looks the one with the fewest questions to answer. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Fabhcun – 13/2 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Sam Ewing | Trainer: Gordon Elliott | Form: 55P- | Rating: 108 | Topspeed: 40
I am prepared to forgive that pull-up on his latest start because his earlier efforts were perfectly respectable in the context of this race. He had shaped like a horse who might pick up a maiden when the penny drops, and Gordon Elliott’s runners in these Kilbeggan maidens always demand respect. His mark of 108 leaves him with a bit to find on Try Them, but it is still solid enough against the bulk of this field, many of whom have shown very little. At 13/2, he makes more appeal than some shorter-priced exposed types for an each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Try Them is the win play because his juvenile hurdle form is plainly the best on offer and this does not look a strong maiden. For an each-way alternative, Fabhcun makes sense at the prices given the yard and his earlier promise. Poet’s Duke is the danger if improving from two starts, while Diamond Secret could run into a place again without necessarily being well treated.

17:20 – BOMAG Construction Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 1m 7f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING (Watering) | | jumps
This is a proper Kilbeggan handicap puzzle rather than a race to get carried away with, and the market has understandably latched on to a few arriving with momentum. Fort Randall heads the betting after winning on his return and is clearly a major player despite the quick rise in class and a big field to navigate. Dairy Force has been knocking loudly on the door, while Dontgowithjoe comes here chasing a hat-trick and could easily have more to offer. Bhean Saibhre is another last-time-out winner with the profile of a still-improving 5yo. In a race where plenty have something to recommend them, the ability to travel and hold position around this sharp track could be decisive. It looks competitive, but not impossible to solve.
Top Selections
1. Dairy Force – 11/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Sam Ewing | Trainer: Gordon Elliott | Form: 442F2- | Rating: 115 | Topspeed: 97
Dairy Force appeals as the solid option in a race full of ifs. He ended last season with a close second after also shaping well in a couple of competitive handicaps, and that profile suggests he is still sitting on a very workable mark of 115. The form string says he has been thereabouts without getting his head in front, but that can be a positive in this grade because the handicapper has not overreacted. Sam Ewing is a good booking for a horse who should be ridden positively around here, and 11/2 looks fair rather than cramped. He holds strong claims if returning in the same vein.
Bet: WIN
2. Kasper Hauser – 17/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Calum Hogan | Trainer: Kevin Thomas Coleman | Form: 5P852- | Rating: 116 | Topspeed: 115
Kasper Hauser makes plenty of each-way appeal in a race where a few of the more obvious ones are priced accordingly. He is only 4, which is interesting in a handicap like this, and his latest second suggested he is beginning to learn the job. The standout figure in this field is that topspeed mark of 115, and if he can back that up over this trip on decent ground, he is very much in the mix. Calum Hogan takes over for a yard not afraid to place one shrewdly, and 17/2 gives you a bit of cover in a 17-runner field. He looks the value play against the shorter-priced principals.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Dairy Force is the win play because his profile is the most dependable and this mark still looks workable. Kasper Hauser is the each-way punt at a more attractive price, especially with four places on offer. Fort Randall is the obvious danger after that comeback win, while Dontgowithjoe and Bhean Saibhre also deserve respect in a race where the market should be taken seriously.

17:55 – CK Interiors Maiden Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 2f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING (Watering) | | jumps
This looks a maiden in which one horse has already set a clear standard. Springhill Warrior brings the standout hurdle form by a distance, with a rating of 129 and a sequence that says he has been knocking loudly on the door. In a 19-runner field at Kilbeggan, that matters. Joe Cool is the obvious unknown quantity for Noel Meade and the market has latched on accordingly, while Backinbusiness and Look Sport are among the more interesting newcomers in behind him. Midnight Musical has at least shown a bit and could be the type to pick off some of the less battle-hardened rivals. Still, for all the depth on paper, this does not look an especially deep maiden if the favourite runs to his mark, and the race should be decided by whether anything unexposed can match that established level.
Top Selections
1. Springhill Warrior – 8/11 with Bet365
Jockey: Sam Ewing | Trainer: Gordon Elliott | Form: 2/22-3 | Rating: 129 | Topspeed: 101
He is very plainly the one they all have to beat. That hurdle form is miles clear of what most of these have managed, and a mark of 129 in a race like this is a serious piece of evidence rather than a decorative number. The latest third suggests he has maintained his level, and this slightly easier assignment gives him a fine chance to finally get his head in front. Sam Ewing is a positive booking and Elliott’s runners in these ordinary Irish maidens are rarely overfaced. At 8/11, you are not stealing anything from the layers, but he is hard to oppose on known form. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Midnight Musical – 10/1 with Bet365
Jockey: James Smith | Trainer: Anthony McCann | Form: 2000- | Rating: | Topspeed:
For the each-way angle, Midnight Musical makes more appeal than plenty of these because he has at least hinted at ability in his profile. That second on his card stands out in the context of this race, and while the two duck eggs since are not pretty, this is not a contest packed with reliable alternatives behind the favourite. Carrying 151lb, he gets weight from most of the older male runners, and if James Smith can keep him in a rhythm, he has the look of one who could stay on past beaten horses. At 10/1, he is the sort of each-way punt that makes more sense than chasing shorter unknowns. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Springhill Warrior is the win bet because his hurdle form towers over this field and anything close to that level should be enough. For those wanting a bit more juice in a big field, Midnight Musical appeals each-way at 10/1. Joe Cool is the danger on market strength and stable reputation, while Backinbusiness is another newcomer worth respecting.

18:30 – Winning Post Service Station Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 3m | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING (Watering) | | jumps
This is a proper staying handicap hurdle with a short-priced favourite who makes obvious appeal, but it is not quite the penalty kick the market suggests. Mordor sets the standard on a mark of 130 and represents a yard that knows exactly what is required in these races, though he returns from an absence and has to lump top weight. That gives the race a slightly more interesting look. Ceanndana arrives with solid placed form and should be thereabouts again, while Mystic Malina and Zam Bobbler are the two lower-weighted runners who look capable of making this tactical if they settle into a rhythm. Faceman is another with a workable profile. It is a competitive enough little contest, but one where class and stamina should decide matters.
Top Selections
1. Mordor – 7/4 with Betfair
Jockey: Josh Williamson | Trainer: Gordon Elliott | Form: 21208/ | Rating: 130 | Topspeed:
Mordor is the one they all have to beat. He has the class edge in this field, he is still only six, and that earlier sequence of 2-1-2 showed a horse who was well up to winning a race of this nature when last seen in regular action. The absence is the obvious niggle, and carrying 166lb around here is never ideal, but Gordon Elliott’s runners in staying handicaps always command respect and this doesn’t look a deep contest for the grade. If he is anywhere near tuned up, 7/4 is short enough but still justifiable because few of these can match his upside. Bet: WIN
2. Ceanndana – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Keith Donoghue | Trainer: Ross O’Sullivan | Form: /3923- | Rating: 126 | Topspeed: 89
Ceanndana looks the percentage each-way play. He is an exposed nine-year-old, so there is no mystery to him, but that can be no bad thing in a race where the favourite returns from a break and several others arrive with patchy profiles. His recent form figures are honest, he ran well enough in defeat on his latest start, and a mark of 126 leaves him very much in the mix if this turns into a proper stamina test. Keith Donoghue is a positive booking and, at 4/1, he makes more appeal as the solid placer than one for a bold win-only swing. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Mordor is the win play because he has the strongest profile and the class to defy top weight if ready after the layoff. For those wanting a bit more security, Ceanndana is the each-way option in a nine-runner field with three places on offer. Mystic Malina and Zam Bobbler are the pair I would fear most if the favourite underperforms.

19:05 – Cooke’s Bar And Restaurant Caragh Beginners Chase
Race Details: 2m 4f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING (Watering) | | jumps
This is a deep enough beginners’ chase for Kilbeggan standards and not the sort of race where you can just latch on to the obvious one and move on. Shellrunforbriggs brings the best recent profile after scoring over hurdles and, as a 5yo receiving weight, is the clear starting point, but this is his first crack over fences in a 17-runner field and that always asks a different question. In The Trenches has the highest rating in the line-up and plenty of solid hurdle form, while Rockstown Girl gets a handy mares’ allowance and arrives with a decent topspeed figure. Drop A Threat is another with a big-yard angle for Willie Mullins. It looks competitive rather than classy, and jumping fluency is likely to sort this out more than raw ability.
Top Selections
1. Shellrunforbriggs – 2/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Darragh O’keeffe | Trainer: Michael Winters | Form: 16421- | Rating: 120 | Topspeed: 116
He is short enough in a race of this shape, but there are fair reasons for that. Shellrunforbriggs signed off with a hurdle win, has the best official rating in the field, and his 116 topspeed figure stands out here as well. The age allowance matters too; a 5yo carrying 159 in a beginners’ chase against plenty of exposed older rivals is a useful edge. Of course, this is no penalty kick on chase debut in a big field, and you are trusting him to jump under pressure, but his profile is the one that still screams upside. At 2/1 he is not a giveaway, just the most likely winner. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Rockstown Girl – 8/1 with Bet365
Jockey: James Smith | Trainer: Anthony McCann | Form: PB712- | Rating: 117 | Topspeed: 111
Rockstown Girl makes plenty of each-way appeal in a race where a few of the obvious dangers have to prove themselves over fences. She ended last season in good nick, winning before a solid second, and those efforts suggest she is more than capable of making an impact in this company. The mares’ weight of 159 is another plus, and a topspeed of 111 says she has the engine for this if taking to chasing. At 8/1 she looks the value against some similarly rated geldings who are shorter in the market. She is not the sexy pick, but she is the sensible each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Shellrunforbriggs is the win play because he has the standout profile, the weight concession and the strongest recent numbers. For an each-way alternative, Rockstown Girl appeals at a much bigger price with her mares’ allowance and solid spring form. The main dangers are In The Trenches on ratings and Drop A Threat from the Mullins yard, but both are opposable enough at the prices.

19:40 – Shanette Superior Space Handicap Chase
Race Details: 2m 4f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING (Watering) | | jumps
This is a proper Kilbeggan handicap chase: plenty in with a squeak, plenty with quirks, and very few you could call bombproof. Park That heads the market after a solid second and is an obvious one for the shortlist off 132, while Torquay Road arrives with similarly persuasive recent form and looks sure to be popular. Three In A Row and Whateys Quest are lurking on workable weights, and Tell Us This is interesting now creeping in from the foot of the handicap after a win. Still, this doesn’t look a deep race for the grade and a few near the head of the market have become a touch exposed. In a 17-runner chase around here, rhythm and jumping will decide plenty.
Top Selections
1. Torquay Road – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Carl Millar | Trainer: Cian Collins | Form: 74362- | Rating: 130 | Topspeed: 105
Torquay Road makes plenty of appeal in a race where some of these look vulnerable to one with a solid recent profile and a manageable mark. That closing second from his last start reads well in the context of this, and the overall sequence suggests he has been knocking on the door rather than flattering to deceive. Off 130, he is not harshly treated, and this 2m4f trip around Kilbeggan ought to suit a horse who looks straightforward enough in his racing. At 4/1 with Bet365, he is no giveaway in a 17-runner handicap, but he still sets the standard for me. Bet: WIN
2. Tell Us This – 20/1 with Bet365
Jockey: | Trainer: Andrew McNamara | Form: F7251- | Rating: 134 | Topspeed: 117
Tell Us This is the sort that makes plenty of each-way sense at a big enough price. The form figures are more persuasive than the odds suggest, especially as he signed off with a win and now sneaks in here carrying just 145. That gives him a very workable racing weight for a horse rated 134, and his topspeed figure of 117 says he does have the engine to be competitive in this company if backing that latest effort up. In a race full of exposed, up-and-down types, 20/1 with Bet365 looks a fair bit bigger than it should. He is the each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Torquay Road is the percentage call and makes most appeal as the win bet given his recent consistency and fair mark. Tell Us This is the value angle at 20/1, especially with four places on offer, and is worth an each-way play. Park That is the obvious danger, while Whateys Quest and Three In A Row also have the profiles to get involved if this turns messy.

20:15 – Racing Again May 31st (Pro/Am) INH Flat Race
Race Details: 2m 2f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING (Watering) | | jumps
This looks a fairly interesting closing bumper rather than a deep one, with the market understandably centring on a handful of unexposed types. World As One sets the standard on the bare form after finishing second on debut for Willie Mullins, and with Patrick Mullins booked he is the obvious one to beat. Returning Officer is another with a powerful yard behind him and should know more after his sole outing, while Jack Owen Jack already has the best published rating in the field and brings solid placed form. Of the newcomers, Minella Cyclone is respected because these races often turn on stable confidence as much as visible evidence. It is not a race packed with established bumper form, though, so there is room for something at a price to outrun the market.
Top Selections
1. World As One – 2/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Mr P W Mullins | Trainer: W P Mullins | Form: 2- | Rating: 93 | Topspeed:
He is the percentage call. That debut second immediately makes him the one with the most obvious upside in a race where several rivals are either completely unraced or have already shown their limitations. Willie Mullins does not waste bullets in these late-season bumpers, and the booking of Patrick Mullins is exactly what you would want to see. The form figure is simple, but it is enough in this company, especially over this extra yardage where natural improvement should kick in. At 2/1 he is not exactly hidden from view, but he is hard to oppose if taking the normal step forward from first to second start. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Jack Owen Jack – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Mr A D Bustin | Trainer: C Byrnes | Form: 2- | Rating: 108 | Topspeed: 65
If you want something against the favourite, this is the one who makes most each-way appeal. He finished second on his only recorded start and, unlike plenty of these, actually brings a useful-looking figure with him, including a rating of 108 and the best topspeed number in the field. That suggests there was substance to what he did rather than it being a bare result in a weak contest. Charles Byrnes is more than capable of readying one for this sort of race, and 5/1 feels fair given how little some of the shorter-priced rivals have actually achieved on the track. He looks the solid each-way punt.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
World As One is the win play because he has the standout bumper form and comes from the yard most punters will trust in this sphere. Jack Owen Jack is the each-way alternative at a more workable price, with his rating and previous second giving him a strong place chance. Returning Officer is the danger if Gordon Elliott’s runner improves sharply from his comeback effort, while Minella Cyclone is the interesting unknown.
