16:00 Kilbeggan — Midland Veterinary Handicap Hurdle model predictions

Premier Rogue (IRE)

0%

Placed in a bumper and maiden hurdles, down the field over C&D on his most recent start.

Le Diablo (FR)

0%

Mild promise in four starts for Pat Doyle; 33-1 when pulled up on handicap debut last October; a revelation at Clonmel last month, making all for a 33-1 win; failed to replicate form off revised mark at the same venue on latest

Secret Rock (IRE)

0%

Won a maiden hurdle in 2023; also two Flat wins in 2024 for Tony Martin; lacks a recent run but of some interest on his first outing for Cian Collins.

Laurie Blue (IRE)

0%

Won a weak maiden hurdle at Roscommon last August; down the field in a handicap on next start and then ran twice over fences; fourth back over hurdles at Punchestown on recent return and has a place chance on that evidence.

Make The Plan (IRE)

0%

Off the course for a long time, chasing when last seen; best hurdles run was in 2023; probably best watched.

Diamond Secret (FR)

0%

Yet to reach the first four, relatively unexposed; may do better here on handicap debut

I Feel Fine (GB)

0%

Still in contention when unseating two out at Limerick in November; disappointing favourite at the same venue at Christmas; again quite well fancied when pulled up at Down Royal in January.

Walk Win (FR)

0%

Hints of promise in maiden hurdle outings at Cork and Bellewstown; prominent for a long way at Punchestown in his first handicap; cheekpieces fitted now.

El Regalo (IRE)

0%

Down the field in two recent Flat outings; hurdles form is unconvincing; cheekpieces now.

Benzine (GB)

0%

Ordinary form over hurdles; returned from a break with an excellent first run over fences at Limerick, finished second despite making a few slight errors; strong chance if that improvement is maintained on his return to hurdling.

Mount Hotham (IRE)

0%

Poor form in maidens; 50-1 when in rear at Tramore in his first handicap.

Chesterbaylad (IRE)

0%

Attracted support down to 15-2 at Down Royal, let down badly by his jumping; much more like it when second in a 19-runner contest at Punchestown last time; has an edge over Laurie Blue on that running and holds a leading chance.
