Kilbeggan Race 3 - CK Interiors Maiden Hurdle
Open maiden with limited exposed form. MIDNIGHT MUSICAL (15) appeals on past ability, having been 2nd in a Galway mares’ bumper over 3378m, and drops back from a tough Grade 2 at Aintree. NOT SO SERIOUS (9) has prior Kilbeggan experience and was 5th here over 3218m, and returns fresh. FACILE OCEAN (5) brings a Naas bumper 3rd and adds first-time tongue tie. CASUAL WATER (2) backs up quickly after Sligo but had earlier finished 5th at Limerick over 4828m. These look the key chances.
