Having ended 2021 with a career-best victory at Aintree, Brewin’upastorm can begin the new year on a high by winning the Grade Two Dornan Engineering Relkeel Hurdle at Cheltenham.

Well beaten in two Grade One starts over fences last season, Olly Murphy opted to revert to the smaller obstacles with his charge and Brewin’upastorm justified that decision with an emphatic win at Taunton before following up at Grade Two level in the National Spirit Hurdle at Fontwell.
