Sweets to tackle Scottish Champion

Bring Sweets is set to bid for next tomorrow week`s Samsung Electronics Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr.

Third on unsuitably soft ground at Aintree last week, he will then return to Merseyside for the Swinton Handicap hurdle at Haydock.

Trainer Brian Ellison said: 'He is in very good form and I think he is still improving.

'He doesn`t mind it soft but it was too soft for him Aintree the other day. He ran a smashing race really under the circumstances to finish third but he had far too much ground to make up in the last half mile.

'I have given him a week in the paddocks but he is well and after he has had his break we will get him ready for Haydock - we have had our eyes on the Swinton for a long time.

'I have always said he was a very good horse and it would be no surprise if he won it.'
