16:55 Killarney - 14 May 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

BALLYKEEL was collared late at Punchestown last time but shaped as if comfortably ahead of his mark for most of the way, so he gets the narrow vote in this competitive event. Routine Excellence is a big danger and En Beton looks interesting back from an absence.
