Kap Vert Claims Scottish National Gold for Hobbs and White

The prestigious Scottish Grand National title was won by Kap Vert, trained by Philip Hobbs and owned by Johnson White, with a impressive performance that saw him outrun Git Maker and Kim Roque. Under the skilled hands of Sean Houlihan, the six-year-old demonstrated remarkable strength and agility, despite being relatively inexperienced in fence racing. His jumping skills were put to the test and proved to be more than adequate. In contrast, Midlands National winner Isaac Des Obeaux struggled with his jumping and eventually finished fourth. Git Maker, another strong contender, made a critical mistake nearly a mile from the finish line but managed to recover and secure second place, narrowly beating the favorite Kim Roque. This significant win, with a prize of £112,000, served as a welcome consolation for Hobbs and White after finishing second in the Scottish Champion Hurdle with Captain Hugo earlier in the day.
