Ballymore Group Irish EBF Kilbegnet Novice Chase (Grade 3)

Off time: 16:30 | Winning time: 4m 7.20s

Wild Bill Hickok⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Eoghan Finegan| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 133| CD

11/10

Dual winning hurdler in France who won 2 of first 3 starts over fences for current yard, scoring by a wide margin in maiden at Wexford in May and novice over this C&D the following month. Failed to give his running in Grade 3 novice at Galway, but he's worth another chance.

Form: P0-1316

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Danny Mullins| T: Ms M Mullins| OR: 112| D

11/2

Had taken well to chasing prior to unseating at the Galway Festival, but soon got back on the up when winning handicap at Tramore (2¾m) 6 weeks ago. However, was allowed to build up a big lead last time, so faces a tougher ask here.

Form: 4-522U1

Femme Magnifique³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Cian Quirke| T: D H Kelly| OR: 125| D

7/4

Much improved this season for new yard, winning twice in handicaps at around 2m and adding a novice success at Wexford (2½m) a month ago. Back up in grade but she can go well in her hat-trick bid.

Form: 73-1211

Miss Fourie^p⁴³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Danny Gilligan| T: G Elliott| D

8/1

Fairly useful hurdler for Peter Fahey but showed her quirky side in her 4 outings last year. Possibly needed the run after 11 months off when well-beaten fourth of 7 in mares maiden at Tramore (2¾m) on chasing/stable debut 6 weeks ago. Has something to find, though.

Form: 4/77F6-4

Forecasts

Daddy Long Legs (4/11), Wild Bill Hickok (11/10), Femme Magnifique (7/4), A Snow White Park (11/2), Miss Fourie (8/1)

A Grade 3 winner over hurdles, DADDY LONG LEGS jumped well in the main when making a successful chasing debut in good style at Killarney and he looks to hold leading claims with progress to come. C&D winner Wild Bill Hickok is better than he could show last time and is the pick for second, ahead of Femme Magnifique.
