In a thrilling conclusion to Scotland's premier National Hunt event, Kap Vert, trained by Philip Hobbs and owned by Johnson White, emerged victorious in the Coral Scottish Grand National, surpassing Git Maker and Kim Roque. Under the skilled guidance of Sean Houlihan, the six-year-old Kap Vert demonstrated impressive form, showcasing his strength and agility over fences in only his fifth outing. Meanwhile, Isaac Des Obeaux, the Midlands National winner, struggled with his jumping and eventually finished fourth.
A notable error by Git Maker nearly a mile from the finish line threatened to derail his chances, but he managed to recover and secure second place, narrowly beating the favored Kim Roque. This significant win, 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.
