Sixmilebridge made a successful chasing introduction in what became an contest at Ayr on Wednesday.


The Play Coral "Racing-Super-Series" "Chasing Excellence" Beginners' Chase might have lacked runners, but it always guaranteed to be an interesting affair with Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore's Albert Bartlett third 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 good fist of being the fly in the ointment and in a race which supplied lots of drama, all three looked likely at different phases of the home directly.


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


O'Brien said: "He did the job, I expect I was a bit dissatisfied with his leaping as he's been extremely excellent in the house, however he beat an excellent horse in Lucinda's horse, so you need to be extremely delighted with him.


"A lot of credit goes to Max Kendrick who rides him in your home and he's not an easy horse at home. It's nice to get the task done and a win under his belt."

This success came over 2 and a half miles and Sixmilebridge was made 33-1 from 66s by Paddy Power for a relocation up to 3 miles and the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.


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


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


"I'll speak with Kielan (Woods, jockey) and Mr and Mrs Megson (owners) and try make a plan of where to go next.


"I believe he might do either, go up in journey or hang back in journey if you wished to. Kielan stated his last four jumps were his best 4 jumps when he was going a bit quicker."


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