Brassil thrilled with Numbersix

Grand National winner Numbersixvalverde has returned home none the worse for his pleasing reappearance in a handicap hurdle at Leopardstown on Wednesday.

Martin Brassil’s 10-year-old finished fourth behind impressive winner Dosco, but travelled well for much of the race and ran as well as could have been expected on his first start since his Aintree heroics.
