The pick of Jason Titley's three rides at Kilbeggan's second last meeting of the season tonight should be Telecom Affair in the three mile Loughnagore Maiden Hurdle.
He acted well on today's ground when scoring in the "winners of two" at the Castletown Geoghegan pointto-point where he won by 12 lengths. Last month he was second to Final Project in a long distance novice chase at Killarney.
With virtually every runner in the Mullingar Maiden Hurdle possessing a handicapper's rating and nothing better than 72 on show, it is clear that Michael Morris will be hard set to find a worse race for Four Prices.
He drifted from 4 to 1 to 10 to 1 at Tipperary, a predictable slide given that the odds-on winner Jazz King is one of the classier novice hurdlers around.
Neil Pollard (19), one of the apprentice finds of the season, will be out of action until the beginning of next week after sustaining an injury to his hand at Kempton Park on Wednesday evening.
