Kap Vert Secures Scottish National Gold for Hobbs and White

In a thrilling display, Kap Vert, trained by Philip Hobbs and owned by Johnson White, dominated the Coral Scottish Grand National, outpacing Git Maker and Kim Roque. Under the skilled guidance of Sean Houlihan, the six-year-old demonstrated remarkable composure and jumping prowess, despite being relatively inexperienced over fences. Meanwhile, Midlands National winner Isaac Des Obeaux and Git Maker suffered costly mistakes, ultimately finishing fourth and second, respectively. This significant victory, worth £112,000, served as a welcome consolation for Hobbs and White, who had earlier finished second in the Scottish Champion Hurdle with Captain Hugo.
