Kilbeggan

Dominant winner at Sligo last summer but ran poorly on both subsequent outings (including over fences). Might be entitled to need this return from 7 months off given her advanced years.

Off the mark at Cork in October and unlucky to bump into an improver at Sligo (2¼m, good to soft) next time. Ran poorly at Cork in May but was said to have returned with mucus, though she took an early fall at Listowel 16 days ago. Looks on a competitive mark if none the worse.

Took a step back in the right direction in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Wexford (3m, good to soft) 19 days ago, though did look somewhat stretched by the trip that time and he might be of greater interest when dropped back in distance.

Won over C&D last April and shaped as if better for the outing after an 11-month break when eighth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (3m, good to soft) 33 days ago. Better can be expected now,

Produced her best effort for a while when third of 10 at Clonmel last month but more miss than hit nowadays and perhaps unsurprisingly failed to back that up at Tramore last time. Will need others to falter if she's to end her lengthy losing run.

Ran better than for a while after 12 weeks off when fourth of 16 in hurdle at Sligo (2½m, good to soft) in May and produced an even better effort when second of 12 in handicap hurdle (7/2) at Limerick (2¾m, soft) 18 days ago. Likely candidate with O'Sullivan in the saddle.

Out of a sister to smart chaser Bags Groove and qualified for handicaps with 3 quick runs around 2m in March/April. Type to improve now handicapping up in trip.

No show in maiden hurdles, most recently on the back of a 7-month absence at Ballinrobe 3 weeks ago. More needed sent handicapping over further.

Modest hurdler who has plenty to prove after an inauspicious start over fences when last seen in August. Tongue strap back on.

No impact across 3 completed starts over hurdles and she'll need to find improvement to make a successful handicap debut (shaped like non-stayer previous try at this trip).

In the process of showing much more than previously over hurdles when brought down approaching 2 out in a handicap at Clonmel (19f, heavy, 12/1) 81 days ago. Frame claims.

Off the mark over hurdles at Ballinrobe in August but below that form in 3 starts later in 2025. Shaped as if needing the outing when a remote second at Kelso (23f) on chase debut 3 weeks ago and she's respected back over the smaller obstacles.

Showed a bit when fifth on handicap debut at Roscommon in September 2024 but missed all of 2025 and has been soundly beaten on both starts this year.

Long-standing maiden under Rules. Winning pointer, but shown little in that sphere of late and it was a similar story back in a hunter chase at Tramore 2 months ago. Others preferred.

Offered more than previously when eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe in August but no show in 2 handicaps last month. Upped even further in trip now.

Maiden who was just beginning to work her way into contention returning from 6 months off when falling 4 out at Punchestown (3m, good to soft) at the start of May but didn't build on the promise when mid-field at Clonmel 10 days ago.

Point winner who attracted support on occasions last season but did not go on as expected in handicaps. Shaped as if needing the run on return to hurdling at Cork last month and has since left Peter Fahey. Interesting to see her backers return if getting a run. RESERVE.

Inconsistent veteran ended a losing run stretching back over 3 years in 12-runner handicap chase at Downpatrick (3m, good, 18/1) on Saturday. Rare go over hurdles. RESERVE.

Made the frame on 3 consecutive outings in summer 2024 but almost certainly best watched returning from almost 2 years off this time. RESERVE.
