Tuppence has plenty going for him

Three races for punters to concentrate on at Kilbeggan this evening, where the nap goes to Croghill Tuppence in the Kilbeggan Patrons Club Handicap Chase, over three miles and a furlong.

At ten years of age, John Berry’s gelding is hardly likely to take significant steps forward on previous form but has very few miles on the clock, has had just six outings over fences, and is certainly not totally exposed.

His most recent run, which came at this track, was just his second of the season, and he ran a fine race to finish third behind Valours Minion. That was over two and a half miles, and today’s longer trip should certainly be in favour of the winning pointer.
