Kieran Kelly Memorial Handicap Hurdle

Kilbeggan · 17:48 · Saturday, 8 August 2026 · 2m · Good

🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to see a sharp, left-handed tempo with Surviving Murmansk making appeal from the rear, having shown consistency in recent runs and a strong run-in at Cork where he pressed the leader and held firm under pressure. Syosset stands out as the horse to beat, having finished second in a competitive contest at Cork just five days ago with a prominent position and a strong run-in, supported by a high RPR of 100 and a consistent record in flat-to-hurdle transitions, despite a recent class drop. The main dangers are Liceo, who ran a close third at Tramore and has shown resilience in midfield efforts, and Blue Reed, who bounced back from a poor effort at Killarney with a strong performance at Cartmel and is backed by a solid jockey booking and a recent improvement in form. Each-way value may lie with Walk Win, who showed promise in a competitive run at Roscommon and has a strong track record at Kilbeggan, while Bravemans Bounce and Ardgillan remain notable for their first-time headgear and long absence from action.
