Kilbeggan Race 2 - Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey Mdn Hurdle
IMARAJAN (6) finished a modest fourth on Wexford reappearance and first outing for Eoin Doyle. Progressed next time managing a 0.75L course and distance second with Paddy Cody aboard. Serious player third-up. PENNY EXPRESS (7) placed in four from nine hurdles all attempting this type of journey. With fitness assured the Gordon Elliott-trained gelding looks a leading contender. HILLHEAD RUNNER (2) has not shown much in two attempts for the in-form Charles Byrnes stable however the application of first-time cheekpieces could spark improvement. CODGER'S ROCK (5) delivered a close second at the track latest. Worth a market check.
