Go for a Brucio bonus at Kelso
Brucio ridden by JJ Slevin jumps the last to win The Irish Stallion Farms EBF Paddy Mullins Mares Handicap Hurdle during day two of the 2024 Dublin Racing Festival at Leopardstown Racecourse, February 4, 2024

BRUCIO can make her trip to Kelso pay dividends with a valuable Grade Two success in the bet365 Premier Novices’ Hurdle.

Stuart Crawford’s charge is no stranger to Britain, having made three previous visits, with two unsuccessful forays followed by her coming of age with a 10-length verdict at Catterick in January.

The form of that race itself is nothing special, but Brucio’s subsequent run at Leopardstown marks her as a live challenger to Jango Baie here, powering to a six-length win in a Listed mares’ handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival.
