MOST of those who won graded contests in England last weekend have been reviewed here in the past year, but they do not include Aubusson, the French-bred gelding who took the Grade 3 Betfair “Fixed Brush” Handicap Hurdle over three miles at Haydock last Saturday.

A winner at Chepstow and Cheltenham last season, and twice placed in graded company, this was his first blacktype success from six career outings, and he looks like a young horse who has a promising future.
