Sixmilebridge made a successful chasing intro in what became an enthralling three-runner contest at Ayr on Wednesday.


The Play Coral "Racing-Super-Series" "Chasing Excellence" Beginners' Chase might have been short of runners, however it always promised to be an interesting affair with Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore's Albert Bartlett 3rd Derryhassen Paddy (5-6 preferred) handling Fergal O'Brien's Grade Two-winning hurdler.


Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero's Gamesters Guy (13-2) made a great fist of being the fly in the lotion and in a race which provided a lot of drama, all three looked likely at numerous stages of the home directly.


Ultimately it was 6-4 possibility Sixmilebridge who proved the most sure-footed when it mattered most to reward connections' long trip to Scotland with their talented chasing possibility.


O'Brien said: "He got the job done, I suppose I was a little bit disappointed with his leaping as he's been very excellent in the house, but he beat an excellent horse in Lucinda's horse, so you need to be really delighted with him.


"A lot of credit goes to Max Kendrick who trips him in your home and he's not an easy horse in your home. It's good to finish the job and a win under his belt."

This victory came over two and a half miles and Sixmilebridge was made 33-1 from 66s by Paddy Power for a relocation up to three miles and the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.


However, O'Brien is open over which journey he might eventually wind up plying his trade.


"We haven't made a lot of strategies other than to attempt to get today out of the method first," continued O'Brien.


" to Kielan (Woods, jockey) and Mr and Mrs Megson (owners) and attempt make a strategy of where to go next.


"I believe he could do either, increase in journey or hang back in trip if you desired to. Kielan said his last four dives were his finest 4 jumps when he was going a bit quicker."


O'Brien and Woods rapidly doubled up on the card when Stop Loss declared the Coral Novices' Hurdle at chances of 25-1.
