Wednesday saw my pick Lord Gorgeous win. The 11/8 favourite travelled well making all the running,he stayed on well in the final furlong and despite a challenge from Elzaam Tales he came home by a head.
There are 8 races at Kilbeggan on Thursday where the feature is the 4.30 when 8 start the Follow Kilbeggan On Twitter Rated Novice Hurdle. Lignou last picked up a win at Gowran Park back in October and he ran well to finish 6th in a handicap hurdle on his return at Fairyhouse 19 days ago,he goes back up in trip here and has to be taken seriously. Coach Carter was a disappointing 6th at Downpatrick at the end of March however that was only his 3rd start and it's still early days in his career so he shouldn't be discounted. Varna Gold is a fair hurdler who was a bit below form when finishing 8th in a handicap at Gowran Park 2 weeks ago,he switches from the flat back to hurdles here and goes up in trip so can definitely make his presence felt. The one with an outside chance is Hewick who has picked up 2 wins from 6 runs this season one of those was on this course on debut back in September, he clearly wasn't 100% when pulled up 4 out when last seen at Gowran Park 6 months ago however if he is fully fit he could spring a surprise.
Big race prediction: 1: Lignou.
