Brick By Brick won a Curragh maiden then finished third in a 5f nursery on this track behind Blue Uluru, who was receiving 10lb. The former then landed a Listed contest at Fairyhouse from the odds-on Gobi Desert in the style of an improver and should go well again. His stable companion Brother Bear, who wears cheekpieces for the first time, is rated higher having been competing at the top level since landing a Listed contest in May. ABAMANOVA was beaten 3l by Brick By Brick on his debut but showed the benefit with a very impressive maiden victory at Bellewstown. He looks a very smart prospect and though having more to do is taken to make the leap into this grade.
