WHILE not working in an official capacity at Ayr racecourse last Saturday, the well-known voice of British show jumping, commentator Phil Ghazala, could be heard shouting home Kap Vert, the Philip Hobbs and Johnson White-trained 20/1 winner of the Coral Scottish Grand National.

Phil is a member of If The Kap Fits, the syndicate which owns the six-year-old Kapgarde gelding who, on just his fifth start over fences, scored by one and a half-lengths in the hands of Dungarvan-born jockey Sean Houlihan. The latter had also been on board Kap Vert when he recorded his two previous chase wins at Taunton.
