A cold and wet Charing welcomed owners, trainers and jockeys from across the country on Sunday, where there were a few surprise results throughout the course of the afternoon. Following overnight rain, the going was good to soft but became dead as the meeting progressed.
The opening race of the meeting, a 2m4f maiden, saw 12 runners meet the starter and produced the biggest surprise of the day when Castle Trump, priced at 25/1 and trained by Rob Cundy for Charles Buckle, got off the mark in the hands of Alex Chadwick, beating Luke Harvey’s Spanish Jump by five lengths. Castle Trump had failed to finish on his previous three starts in 2020 but on this occasion led from the fall of the starters flag until he was joined by Spanish Jump and the Tom Ellis-trained Wireless Operator coming down the hill for the final time. Wireless Operator blundered at the penultimate fence, leaving Spanish Jump to challenge Castle Trump but the latter still had more to give and ran on well to take the victory.
Alice Stevens steered Feuille de Lune to victory in the 2m4f Restricted race to win by a comfortable 25 lengths. The 7/4 favourite Envious Editor and the Sara Bradstock-trained Southfield Lily both looked to be in with a chance of victory with four fences to jump but both weakened, leaving Feuille de Lune clear after jumping the penultimate fence. Envious Editor unseated at the final obstacle, leaving Southfield Lily to take the runner-up spot.
The Men’s Open saw eight runners make their way to the starter and at the winning post Gran Paradiso easily got the better of Golden Tobouggan, Vivaldi Collonges and Workbench. All four were in with a chance heading to the penultimate fence however, on the run to the final fence, Gran Paradiso, with Tommie O’Brien in the saddle, pulled clear of Golden Tobouggan and finished a clear 15 lengths ahead of the eventual runner-up, with Vivaldi Collonges and Workbench close behind in third and fourth respectively.
Eleven runners contested the Ladies Open, including Aintree Foxhunters’ winner Cousin Pascal with Gina Andrews on board, who led for much of the race. However, Back Bar, for the Alan Hill and Izzie Marshall combination, tracked the odds-on favourite before making a race-winning move coming down the hill for the final time. Back Bar jumped upsides Cousin Pascal at the penultimate fence and soon drew clear on the run to the final obstacle. A good jump at the last secured Back Bar’s victory as well as the first leg of a double for the Hill-Marshall combination.
Izzie rode her 50th point-to-point winner the previous weekend at Hexham and this victory with Back Bar was Alan Hill’s 350th career winner. However, the partnership was not done for the day and a similar tactic was employed in the level two Conditions race, with Izzie aboard the odds-on favourite Getting Closer. Sitting behind the early leaders Conas Taoi, Thomas Junior and Scooby until taking the lead at the penultimate fence, the latter battled with Getting Closer up until the final fence before Alan Hill’s charge pulled away to win by four lengths.
The final race of the day was a Maiden Conditions contest. All five runners were tightly bunched as they approached the completion of their first circuit before Kauto Stinko fell at the eighth, reducing the field to just the four. The remaining runners grouped together going back up the hill until Gold Bandit started to weaken, leaving the three protagonists locked together as they headed back down the hill to the fourth from home. However, Chasing My Dream, who appeared to be travelling comfortably, then blundered and unseated his jockey, leaving the Philip Rowley-trained Outlaw Dream and John Wright’s Longtide to fight out the finish. There was no fight to be had though, as Ben Bromley kicked on aboard Outlaw Dream and soon established a substantial lead over his remaining rival, allowing the partnership to just manoeuvre a couple of safe jumps to confirm victory.
