Kilbeggan Race 3 - Kilbegganraces.com Maiden Hurdle
ST CUTHBERT'S CAVE (1) showed promise with three consecutive placed efforts prior to falling at Fairyhouse earlier in the month. Can bounce back with a big run. HUNTSGROVE (6) made the frame at Ballinrobe and Cork when last in action eight-months-ago. Key player racing first-up. SEA OF DOUBT (15) improved from an unplaced Naas performance to deliver a close second at Tramore twelve-days-ago. Danger. KENTUCKY BEACH (7) completes the shortlist.
