Six appeals in Bobby dazzler

MARTIN BRASSIL hopes Numbersixvalverde can pick up where he left off at Aintree last April when he makes his long-awaited return to fences at Fairyhouse today.

Brassil’s 11-year-old was last seen tackling the bigger obstacles in the John Smith’s Grand National, when he trounced his rivals en route to a famous success.

Although Numbersixvalverde has twice featured over timber this season, his build-up for a second crack at the world’s biggest steeplechase moves up several gears in the Grade Two At The Races Bobbyjo Chase.
