About

Kells Priory runs in the Wetherby R6 William Hill Best Odds Guaranteed "Hands And Heels" Handicap Hurdle (Conditional & Amateurs). The horse is a 9yo b trained by O Murphy in Wilmcote. Sired by Valirann out of Kells Hall, it has recorded two career victories. Its most notable triumph came on 28 Jan 2022 at Gowran Park, winning the $15,500 Adare Manor Opportunity Handicap Hurdle (80-123). The runner has been a valuable prospect for bettors; backing it throughout its career would have yielded a 112% ROI.
