The roadshow rolls on to Kilbeggan this afternoon and Royal Thief can make a winning start over fences in the Wineport Lodge Beginners’ Chase. Henry De Bromhead’s horse didn’t cut much ice in bumpers but won a maiden hurdle on his first start, and later added a novice event to that victory.
Over hurdles, his jumping was not that fluent in the early days, but he improved in that department with experience. He likes to race handy, stays strongly and today’s trip should be exactly what he needs. He found his limit at around the 130 mark but has the potential to be better than that over fences.
