MICHAEL - Kilbeggan 5.47 Handicap Hurdle - Division 2 - 3 miles 1 and 1/2 furlongs - Good - 16 run

 

At the top end of the market I'm really keen on FRAZEL EXPRESS who has placed form at the trip off a mark of 103, and who was an eye catcher over shorter last time out and who looks primed to strike.

 

Moyvilla Lass is best so far at 1/2 mile shorter, Black Barrel is an ex Flat horse who has one completely out of the blue place at the trip last time at Sligo but was pulled up here the time before that. Doyen For A Drink is another attracting support who is also upped markedly in trip. 

 

I'm very keen on MAN OF THE HOUSE who was 5th of 16 on penultimate run over Course and Distance but who ran a bit reely, with that sighter in the bank I think he can go closer today, and MOONEY BOY who is only a 6 year old and who was tried at this trip when younger looks another ready to step up as does NOMADIC STAR who has been staying on over slightly shorter and another who looks over priced.

 

Glenabo Bridge and Stella Symphony who are both in the Tracker have it to prove at this trip and don't have the scope of some of the others, but CRIMSON CHIEF @ 25/1  a Course and Distance winner off 85 a year ago and who then followed up off a mark of 91 on its next run is another whose handicap mark is now back in range at 92 with a good 4lbs Claimer. as is Ballycastle Girl @ 40/1 also at big odds
