Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 12f on flat. 6/1, fell 3rd in novice hurdle at Punchestown (15.5f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Back up in trip and can't be discounted.

4/7
Promising sort. 8/1, second of 13 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16.2f, soft) on NH debut 120 days ago. This Milan gelding seems sure to improve and holds leading claims.

Horse silk
8/1
Promising third of 9 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16.6f, good to soft, 7/1) on NH debut 33 days ago given it was a barely adequate test. Should have more to offer over this longer trip. A likely player.

18:00 Kilbeggan - 16 May 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

COSTACURTA shaped well on his hurdling bow when runner-up at Fairyhouse and can build on it here to get off the mark at the chief expense of Kasanova's Dream who also made a promising start when third at Tramore and rates a big danger. Couldntmakeitup and Rapparee Champ both have the form to play a part too in an intriguing maiden hurdle.
