Horse Racing tips: The 8 best bets at Kilbeggan on Saturday

16:40 Curlew Hill @ 6/4

A tricky race but CURLEW HILL seemingly had plenty left when winning over further at Downpatrick last time out and he’s expected to progress over hurdles for Gordon Elliott.

Presenting Meghan didn’t get further than the first at Cork last week, but she’s another bumper winner who warrants respect in a race of this nature.

17:15 Ornua

Sayo is seemingly the first-string for Willie Mullins and he ran with credit at Galway last week, but he’s going to have to improve if he’s to win this.

Grade 1-winning chaser ORNUA looks more interesting on his return to hurdles. He’s improved since his last prolonged spell in this discipline and he was entitled to need the run when well beaten in a Grade 3 at Tipperary in June.

17:45 Santana Plessis

Only a couple of these have a realistic chance of getting their head in front here and the one to side with is probably SANTANA PLESSIS, who was only narrowly denied over course and distance last month and was unsuited to a drop in trip here latest.

Coolbane Boy and Thousand Tears both look capable of winning races, particularly the former who should come on for the run last time out.

18:15 Stadius @ 8/1

There’s a good chance In Your Shadow will be popular here having looked progressive of late and he lost his maiden tag at Tipperary last time out, but at a likely bigger price and from more of an each-way perspective, STADIUS looks interesting.

The seven-year-old may be a long-standing maiden but he’s produced two better efforts of late, particularly when returned to this trip at Gowran last time out and he might be capable of landing one of these low grade races from a basement mark.
