Report: Grand National day at Bower House and with a grandson called Arthur , ‘ Come on my (grand) Son’.

Clipped out Miterdale Copper cut out the early pace but on the finish it was Try Again who showed in front and held on for his first win of the season and his progeny Huntsman’s Major won handily from Monday’s winner Crazy in the juniors with the Irish hound in third.  Just an observation here the entries were all in the same handwriting bar one,

The first non- winners of the season and in the winners enclosure , and not before time, the Wilding’s ( Town Crier) with their late bred senior ( unraced as a junior ) beat her sibling Miterdale Steele. Wild Gypsy finished fast to overhaul ‘ Steel’ and win going away .

And in the fastest race of the day the veteran Kerrymore belied her age and beat Bewitched with Overwater Jack in third.
