Beaten horses from previous Nationals have struggled in recent years, but runner-up Delta Work ran a stormer here having finished third in the race in 2022 and unseating his rider 12 months ago.
A rating of 157 was 3lb lower than when he was third to Noble Yeats off 160 and first-time blinkers seemed to spark him back to life after a lacklustre season that had hardly hinted at a National revival at the age off 11.
Another veteran of the same vintage, Minella Indo, ran a superb race in third. The former Cheltenham Gold Cup winner looked the most likely horse in the field to do a ‘Neptune Collonges’ as his mark of 159 gave him a chance considering he was a 170+ rated chaser in the glory years.
He travelled beautifully under Rachael Blackmore and he’s always been a smooth jumper, a combination that saw him hit the front and go for home after the last, but, like so many others, he couldn’t cope with I Am Maximus’ finishing burst, Delta Work muscling him out of second place late on.
Eliott trained the second and the fourth after Galvin stayed on into fourth on the drying ground, the conditions also suiting Kitty’s Light who did his trainer Christian Williams proud with yet another fine effort in a top staying contest – his spring might not be over yet with him back in fine fettle.
Sixth home was Ain’t That A Shame for amateur jockey David Maxwell, what a thrill he must’ve got on a horse that could only manage a 106-length 17th last year.
Galia Des Liteaux went well for a long way for title-chasing trainer Dan Skelton, jumping nicely from a prominent sit and looking a danger when hitting the front before two out. The drying ground was against her, though, and she faded as the closers came to the fore.
Eldorado Allen took to the fences well but didn’t stay, Panda Boy made several mistakes and could never get involved from the rear and last year’s runner-up Vanillier was never a threat this time from off the pace.
