The premier National Hunt prize in Scotland was claimed by Philip Hobbs and Johnson White, as Kap Vert pulled ahead of Git Maker and Kim Roque in the Coral Scottish Grand National. With only his fifth outing over fences, the six-year-old consistently showed strong form under Sean Houlihan. Although inexperienced, his jumping technique held up well, unlike Midlands National winner Isaac Des Obeaux, who lost his chance after making a mistake early in the home straight and finished fourth. A significant error from Git Maker nearly a mile from the finish led to a remarkable recovery, as he almost lost his rider, Jonathan Burke, but still managed to secure second place, beating the 4-1 favourite Kim Roque by a length and a half.
For Hobbs and White, the £112,000 first prize was a more than satisfactory consolation after finishing second in the Scottish Champion Hurdle with Captain Hugo earlier in the day.
