FormscanBy Michael Graham - PRIDE OF PLACE (7) finished third in the Midlands National off a mark of 130 at this track last month and catches the eye running off 105 over flights. The marked drop in trip is a concern, but he he been placed over a similar trip in a handicap hurdle at Naas before. Mysilverriverfeale's victory in a maiden hurdle over course and distance has been franked, so she is feared. Emesteraye has finished third in her last three handicaps, but undoubtedly the best effort came when she was last seen at the Galway Festival, so she is a contender. Blue Reed has a good recent record in Kilbeggan, so is another to consider. Magic Day and Parkgarve are others with chances.

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards (110 = 11st 12lbs)
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
