Ascot unlikely for Nickname

Nickname is unlikely to travel over to Britain to contest the Ascot Chase following his impressive win in the Paddy Power Dial-A-Bet Chase at Leopardstown.

In the immediate aftermath of his 14-length demolition job, Brassil mentioned a trip to Ascot on February 17 as a possibility, but his liking for soft ground means he will probably remain in his homeland for the time being.
