Kilbeggan Race 1 - Well Of Moate Mdn Hurdle
FACILE OCEAN (5) brings consistent form this year after three consecutive placings with a 3.75L third in a 3800m maiden hurdle here preceding a strong 1.75L second at the same course and distance two weeks ago. Ticks all the right boxes to go one place better. Top selection. FIRST ASCENT (6) represents a notable trainer and the five-year-old shaped well eighteen days ago producing a 6.5L fourth in a 3400m maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe. Can build on that effort. Likely player. WHOYOUGONNACALL (8) improved last month when 6.5L third over 3400m in a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle. Open to further improvement. CAPTAIN HANLEY (3) deserves a market check.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation 3 of 14 runners at Ballinrobe May 8 over 1911m, 2 len behind Tero D'rosa carrying 57kg at $8.50. First up last campaign 2 of 13 runners at Navan March 30 over 2011m, on rain affected going; 2.5 len behind Satono Chevalier carrying 51.5kg at $5. Solid on the flat latest but prefer to see at first outing over the obstacles.

Freshened for 32 days. Last outing ran on strong from last on the turn; finished fourth of 12 starters at Tramore on July 7 over 3218m, 3.5 len behind Bynx carrying 61kg at $5.50. Before that finished sixth of 14 runners at Wexford on July 3 over 4023m, 24 len behind Newbrook Diamond carrying 75.5kg at $9. Gets a chance to win. Likely to figure on his return to jumping.
