Kirbybroguelantern set to complete a four-timer

KIRBYBROGUELANTERN can complete a spectacular four-timer in the J J Byrne Car Sales Maiden at Wexford this evening.

He comes here on the back of three wins in-a-row in bumper company and is fancied to prove too strong for the younger horses.

Beaten in two bumpers towards the back-end of last year, the Tom Hogan-trained gelding has really come into his own since reappearing at Ballinrobe in May.

He won that day by seven lengths and followed with equally smooth successes at Tralee and Down Royal.

Kirbybroguelantern travels well though his races, isn't short of pace and has to be a reasonably confident nap choice.

John Morrison's Hill Fairy has obvious prospects of enjoying a first victory in the info@wexfordraces.ie Mares Maiden Hurdle.

She was a big order in the market when failing by a length and a quarter to Mozamjer, he started favourite, at Roscommon and this looks easier!

Easily the most interesting contest at Bellewstown tonight is the Derek Plant Farm Machinery Maiden Hurdle.

This brings together Iron Hague, Catskill, Paramount, Rocket Boy, Salt Lake and Mister Lucky, who have one thing in common.

They are essentially professional losers, but one of them is going to have to bite the bullet now, almost certainly, and it may well be Paramount.

The five-year-old's last run, third to Macs Mandalus and Mordor at Fairyhouse in April, wasn't a bad effort and at least all his form is of the winter variety.
