Kilbeggan 7:18 Result

Killeedy is trained by W P Mullins, the dominant handler in Irish point-to-point/bumper type races, with his son Patrick Mullins on board - arguably the best amateur rider in Ireland with an outstanding strike rate in these pro/am contests. A single run to date (4th) suggests only modest experience but plenty of scope for forward improvement, and Mullins yard is renowned for placing lightly-raced stock to good effect fresh off a run. The trainer/jockey combination alone in a race like this at Kilbeggan is a major form angle that trumps the sparse form of rivals. Most others in this field are similarly lightly raced or unraced types with moderate or unknown assessments, so there's no standout on pure form to challenge the class and craft of the Mullins operation. Myluckymaker (862-2) and Rememberwhat (462) have shown fair form figures and are respectable each-way alternatives, but neither carries the same stable/jockey strength. S T Hamo with Derek O'Connor, a top pro/am rider, is another with claims, but his form figures (0-643) look moderate compared to the potential Killeedy offers fresh from a solitary educational run. Given the presence of top connections and the general moderate/unproven profiles elsewhere, Killeedy looks the value-adjusted best bet to win.
