Braxton heading for Fairyhouse

Colonel Braxton, runner-up to Beef Or Salmon in the Ericsson Chase at Leopardstown last month, heads a field of eight declared for the Normans Grove Chase at Fairyhouse on Sunday.

The eight-year-old, trained by Dessie Hughes, was beaten six lengths by Michael Hourigan’s Tote Cheltenham Gold Cup hope in the Grade One contest.
