Kilbeggan Race 2 - Tom Mccormack Memorial Cup Mdn Hurdle
A competitive maiden hurdle with FACILE OCEAN (2) setting a good benchmark after back-to-back placed efforts under Eoghan Finegan at this circuit. Ticks plenty of boxes and can get off the mark with a big run. COOLADDI (19) was in touch with the leaders and making good headway before falling two from home earlier this month at Roscommon. Capable of bouncing back. MYSILVERRIVERFEALE (14) can go close if able to replicate her form when second at Tramore two starts ago. Key player. PRESS THE BUTTON (1) placed on hurdling debut at Ballinrobe preceding a disappointing effort at the same venue latest. Each-way hope. Something for the Multiples: BLUE JOHNL (9)
