Draycott Place 'a class apart and will take some beating'
5.40 Kilbeggan card
Martinstown Opportunity Handicap Hurdle | 2m3f, 4yo+ | ATR
Enda Bolger is being somewhat unsociable with William Du Berlais, who once again visits his beloved Kilbeggan. It will be his fourth appearance at the County Westmeath track and he has yet to pay a visit anywhere else.
You cannot blame Bolger for returning to Kilbeggan with his promising five-year-old.

His opening handicap mark of 109 does not look too harsh either.
