Today's Tips: Kilcrea primed for big run back in handicap company at Thurles

The selection, trained by Jimmy Mangan, finished third behind Elegant Statesman and Never Complain on his return, last month at Clonmel, and is entitled to have come on significantly for the outing.
The conditions of that rated chase did not favour the eight-year-old, but he jumped well and was in contention for much of the trip, before fading in the home-straight. Back in handicap company this afternoon and with the slightly longer trip and more testing ground conditions to suit, an improved effort looks very much on the cards.
