Kilbeggan Race 4 - Joe Cooney Memorial Hurdle
PETS GEORGINA (5) bids for a hat-trick this season with a 1L success in a 3600m jumpers flat race at Sligo preceding a convincing 4.5L victory contesting a 4600m mares maiden hurdle at Killarney three weeks ago. Leading contender. ROCKY'S DIAMOND (3) holds ability to take this easily having finished a good fourth in the 2025 renewal of the 4800m G1 Stayer's Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival (UK). Pulled up last week attempting the G3 Galway Plate Handicap Chase. Respect down in grade. DRUMGILL (1) ran with credit two starts ago finishing a fair fourth in a 3400m handicap chase at Killarney before a Galway eighth last Sunday. Interesting on hurdle return. REMEMBERWHAT (4) rates next best.
