The race was in 2019 by Beware the Bear, for Nicky Henderson and Jerimiah McGrath which give Henderson a second win in the race however he still needs another two to join both Fred Rimell and Fulke Walwyn on four wins, the joint most. The horses they won it with are below:
Fred Rimell:
Cavaliero (1948)
Frere Jacques II (1949)
Land Fort (1951)
Holly Bank (1954)
Fulke Walwyn:
Ravencroft (1961)
Team Spirit (1963)
Lord Jim (1971)
Gay Vulgan (1977)
Un Temps Pour Tout’s two successive victories gave jockey Tom Scudamore his second and third win in the race and that makes him the joint most successful jockey in the race with the now retired Rob Thornton, here’s the horses they steered to victory:
Tom Scudamore:
An Accordion (2008), Un Temps Pour Tout (2016, 2017)
Rob Thornton:
Fork Lightning (2004)
Kelami (2005)
Bensalem (2011)
Whilst there is not a specific dominance within the race, the stats would suggest the race now requires even better horses to win it, with five of the last six winners all carrying at least 11 stone, 3 lb and that may be worth keeping an eye on.
As well as this, it could be worth noting runners from either David Pipe or Jonjo O’Neill, the pair have sent out 3 winners a piece in the last 12 years, so they are responsible for 50% of the winners since 2008.
