Beauport wins Midlands Grand National at Uttoxeter

Jockey Jordan Nailor rode Beauport to an impressive victory in the Midlands Grand National at Uttoxeter.

The eight-year-old overtook My Silver Lining in the run-in to win by a length and three-quarters.

Willie Mullins-trained Mr Incredible (6-1) finished strongly to take second, leaving My Silver Lining (5-1) in third.

"He means so much to me this horse, he's given me the best days out ever," said 25-year-old Nailor.

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."
