Jockey Jordan Nailor rode Beauport to an impressive victory in the Midlands Grand National at Uttoxeter.Willie Mullins-trained Mr Incredible finished strongly to take second, leaving My Silver Lining in third.Beauport, a 18-1 chance trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies, has been inconsistent in chases this season.
He narrowly missed out at the London National in December but put in a disappointing performance on his last outing in the Classic Chase at Warwick in January, "He's a bit of a big, old lump and the bends were a bit tight for him at times, he was hanging a bit," said Nailor. "His jumping's been a challenge over fences a few times but today he was actually, very, very good, and that's what's won it for him in the end, those last few jumps, and he battled the whole way."Practical, passionate and hilarious conversationsWatch: Chelsea cruise to win against title rivals Arsenal'Somebody help me' - the injury that shocked football
