Thurles tips: Crosshill the right type to make winning debut over fences

The opening race on this afternoon’s card in Thurles, the BetVictor Beginners’ Chase, is the most interesting race on the programme

The opening race on this afternoon’s card in Thurles, the BetVictor Beginners’ Chase, is the most interesting race on the programme and Crosshill looks the right type to make a winning debut over fences.
