IT was disappointing that the Stuart Crawford-trained Montana Belle found one too good for her at Cheltenham on Saturday when the four-year-old High Chaparral bay went down by three lengths to the two-year-older Bitofapuzzle in the listed mares’ bumper.

Montana Belle carried the colours of Roger Brookhouse who had the pleasure of seeing his Champagne West win on his chasing debut at the Cotswold track the previous afternoon.
