Brixson²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith

13/2

Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Terresita. 18/1 and hooded, offered something to work on first time up at Warwick 4 weeks ago, in need of the experience as well as probably a greater emphasis on stamina. Probably vulnerable on that showing.

Form: 4

13/8

£85,000 Irish point winner, half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Game Socks (21f-3¼m winner, by Leading Light). Yard 0-39 in bumpers in last 5 seasons.

9/2

£60,000 buy after Irish point win in April, when beating a well-regarded one who has since joined Olly Murphy (odds on when beaten at Sedgefield recently). From the family of Queen Mother Champion Chase winner Put The Kettle On and appealing on debut.

Forecasts

Douglas Hyde (13/8), Paddys Policy (7/2), Sign Again (9/2), Brixson (13/2), North Of Richmond (8/1), It's Top (8/1), The Dancing Lass (12/1)

Some interesting recruits from the pointing field, with PADDYS POLICY selected before market clues to give the Donald McCain yard another bumper winner. Sign Again and It's Top are also appealing.
