SARA Bradstock was delighted to see Myth Buster bounce back to winning ways in the INEOS Grenadier Home Counties Grand National Mixed Open at the Kimblewick Hunt (February) meeting at Kingston Blount, near Chinnor, on Saturday.
The 10-year-old had suffered a heavy fall at Cocklebarrow last month, which saw the Letcombe Bassett trainer’s daughter, Lily, taken to hospital with a small fracture to a bone in her neck and concussion.
With Lily having recovered to lead the gelding up but waiting to be passed fit to resume riding, her mother turned to James King to take the mount in the Sandhurst Area four-mile marathon, run on good ground thanks to the sterling efforts of clerk of the course Stewart Nash and Alan Hill’s team.
The two-time champion made all the running on Myth Buster, stretching clear from the fourth-last, and despite a slow leap at the final fence, he still had 30 lengths to spare over last year’s winner, Polydora, and Izzie Marshall, with the staying-on Dawson City three-quarters of a length back in third.
Bradstock said: “It was very nice to see because when they fall like that it can really rattle them sometimes. James did a really good job. He gave him a lovely ride – he is champion point-to-point rider for a reason!
“He might go to Cheltenham for the Foxhunters and, the way he has won, the four-miler at the hunter chase meeting.”
King commented: “It was just a case of getting him into a rhythm. I schooled him in the week, and he was a bit hesitant. He jumped lovely today and was a pleasure to ride.”
Myth Buster is owned by the Buzz Partnership, and Bradstock added: “We still have shares available. If anyone wants a horse going to the Cheltenham Foxhunters give me a ring.”
Dan Cherriman is looking forward to having a crack at the Randox Foxhunters’ Chase at Aintree on Reikers Island after landing the PPORA Club Members Veteran Horse Philip Scouller Memorial Conditions Race (Level 2).
Having his first ride of the season due to his commitments as the South Shropshire Hunt master, Cherriman made all the running on the Alan Hill-trained 10-year-old in the contest sponsored by Philip Scouller’s family.
Ask Nile loomed up, but Reikers Island held off Phil York’s mount by three-quarters of a length, with Chenery a length and a quarter adrift in third.
Cherriman, who owns Reikers Island with his father, Neville, sister-in-law Sarah Holmes and South Shropshire Hunt secretary Patricia Cornes, is now focused on making it to Aintree.
He said: “The first horse I had with Alan was Kashmir Peak and we both got there in one piece but were brought down at the first.
“I bought this horse quite cheaply at Doncaster and he had qualified for Aintree within 10 days but then I broke my pelvis in a schooling fall in Shropshire. To me it feels like I have not ridden there bar jumping the first fence. It’s an itch that needs scratching.”
Of the Aintree aim, Aston Rowant trainer Hill said: “With the horse it is quite easy, but the jockey more difficult because he is the bravest man you have seen across country. He couldn’t ride there last year, and the horse finished seventh with Huw Edwards on.”
Owner-rider Ella Herbert and Field Exhibition took their winning sequence to four with a game success in the PPORA Club Members Conditions Race (Level 3), for Novice Riders, sponsored by Field Seymour Parkes.
The Ed Walker-trained 13-year-old was joined by The Composeur at the fourth-last, but Herbert’s mare battled well to deny Jack Wilmot’s mount by three-quarters of a length with Monkey Puzzle two-and-a-half lengths back in third.
Herbert, who heads the Field Exhibition Partnership which owns the veteran, said: “I thought ‘Oh no’ when the other one came upsides, but she stayed on lovely. She is really cool. This is her last season. She will be off to stud in the spring.”
Ottery St Mary handler Walker added: “All credit to Ella. She does it all at home. I do very little with her. She is a mad old mare. She won’t go up the gallops and has to go into the woods.”
Hatfield trainer Bradley Gibbs admitted his nerves had been in shreds before Dwight K Schrute made a winning debut under a terrific ride from Freddie Mitchell in the opening Four and Five Year Olds Maiden, sponsored by Guy Luck’s family.
Bought for £24,000 at the Yorton Sales in September 2021, the son of Clovis du Berlais was outpaced as Ilhela D’Engilbert bowled along at the head of affairs in the 2m 5f contest.
However, Mitchell gave the Ratkatcha Racing-owned four-year-old – named after a character in the American version of The Office – time to find his feet, before storming past Izzie Marshall’s mount at the last to score by four lengths.
Gibbs, whose charge will now head to the Tattersalls Cheltenham Festival Sale on March 16, said: “I have never been so nervous in my life. To start with I couldn’t eat last night. I knew he was nice.
“That’s one of the best rides I have seen someone give a horse. After three fences I thought, he was going to pull him up, but he kept squeezing him.”
Lambourn-based Mitchell added: “He learned on the job today massively. When the penny dropped, he picked up like a smart horse.”
Elliott England was seen to good effect on Marton Abbey in the Maiden Conditions Race, sponsored by Ashley Wilde Group.
The 19-year-old always had his mount, trained by his mother, Annabel England, at Naunton, in the firing line before fending off Must Have Hope and Phil York by a length and a half.
The winning rider, who works for Ben Pauling, was notching his second winner. He said: “The ground feels really nice out there. When the other one came to join me, he pushed on again.”
Annabel, who owns the seven-year-old with her partner Simon Claisse, reported: “He had two runs for Kim Bailey, did a leg and had a year off. I took him on in the summer and he had not run for over 400 days when he came second at Larkhill. It is a real thrill.”
Marton trainer Tom Ellis believes Tigerbythetail has a bright future after Olly Murphy’s former inmate rounded off a good day’s racing by taking the Restricted, sponsored by Norcal Vets.
The seven-year-old was Gina Andrews’s only mount of the day in the 2m 5f contest, and those punters who took the hint were rewarded as the evens favourite swept clear from Serenisa and Izzie Marshall to win by five lengths.
Ellis said: “I don’t know how strong the form is, but he has won really well. He had some smart form on the track and Olly has pointed us in the direction of this sort of horse in the past.
“I think he is good enough to make into an open/hunter chase horse. He has a bit of quality and has improved an awful lot.”
Keith Loads, who owns Tigerbythetail with his partner, Kate Bowling, added: “When he won his maiden, he beat nothing, but today he has beaten two or three half-decent horses.”
