Classy staying hurdler Aubusson looks as though he could take high order over fences on the evidence of his debut triumph in the Douglas Family Novices' Chase at Uttoxeter.

Aubusson could now embark on a chasing career after being denied by the narrowest of margins in the Grade One Prix D'Automne at Auteuil last Saturday.

Aubusson takes a drop in class for an informative-looking Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle at Huntingdon on Friday.

Lizzie Kelly gave Aubusson a perfect ride to win the Betfair 'This Is Play' 'Fixed Brush' Handicap Hurdle at Haydock Park.

Connections of Aubusson, generally 10-1 for Saturday's Betfair-backed Fixed Brush Handicap Hurdle at Haydock, are optimistic of a positive effort.
