Racing: Trainer Martin Brassil is "looking forward" to Nickname bidding to make it five wins from six starts this season at Naas on Sunday.
The highly progressive eight-year-old, chasing a four-timer after wins at Leopardstown, Fairyhouse and, most recently, Punchestown, will face a maximum of six rivals in the €60,000 Grade Two paddypowerpoker.com Newlands Chase.
"I am looking forward to it. Hopefully conditions will be right for him and he's exciting horse on soft ground," said Brassil.
Nickname is generally available at 7-1 for the Seasons Holidays Queen Mother Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival on March 14th, but Brassil has always maintained the horse will not run unless ground conditions are favourable.
