They're not waiting for handicaps as Brookie holds an entry for the two miles Grade 1 novice chase at Punchestown. Anthony Honeyball's ATR Stable Tour on 18 December 2024 included the quote " We are poaching for prize money and he might just pick up some there." That was ahead of the Wayward Lad at Kempton the following week ( 3rd of 3 finishers behind Sir Gino and Ballyburn).

Brookie is an eight-year-old and has won £66,000+ this season which is job done for this and the next two years. He'll probably finish down the field and out of the money if he runs at Punchestown - only 5,000 Euros for 4th place - but the Haldon Gold Cup or the Shloer will be easier races next season. He's currently not quoted for the 2026 Champion Chase.
