Kilbeggan Race 5

Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Mares Beginners Chase

Stake: $30,443

LOOK TO THE WEST (4) returned from a long hiatus to finish third of seven making chase debut tackling the trip at Clonmel. Fitter with bold bid looming. GAOTH CHUIL (2) is a three-time hurdle winner and multiple Listed place-getter who is feared on chasing debut. MEDIA NARANJA (5) was well beaten in three chase starts. Connections will be hoping the longer journey sparks some improvement. WHATCOULDHAVEBEEN (8) struggled recently. Hard to recommend unless the market speaks in her favour switching to fences.
