Boots poised to strike in bumper at Kilbeggan

Kilbeggan plays hosts to Monday evening’s modest fare and Themaninboots, who contests the bumper, makes most appeal.

Gordon Elliott’s runner made his debut last month at Killarney and was beaten a length into third place behind the gambled-on Lipa K. Brought with every chance in the straight, he was very green inside the final furlong but stuck to his task well. Three of his five raced siblings won a bumper and with the debut experience under his belt, he looks ready to become the fourth.
