Sixpence can have punters over the moon

THE progressive Themoonandsixpence can land the nap in the FBD Insurance Hurdle at Kilbeggan this evening.

Willie Mullins’ six-year-old is clearly going the right way and can build on a decent enough effort in a handicap at Killarney last month.

Ridden on the pace throughout, he was taken to the front over the fourth last by Ruby Walsh. The selection then found plenty up the straight to score comfortably by two and a half lengths.
