Brian set for Sandown test20th November 2012
Lucinda Russell's jumping prospect Bold Sir Brian could take his next step in the Sportingbet Future Stars Chase at Sandown on December 7, rather than fulfil a more ambitious engagement in the William Hill King George VI Chase.
A winner of three minor novice races last winter, Russell's gelding looked in good heart on his comeback when landing the often informative Colin Parker Memorial Intermediate Chase at Carlisle.
"We are looking at the intermediate chase at Sandown and we'll look at what the ground is like there first," said the Kinross trainer.
