Mac Tottie (8-1) gave trainer Peter Bowen a record-equalling fifth victory in the Randox Topham Handicap Chase under his son Sean on the second day of the 2022 Randox Grand National Festival at Aintree Racecourse.
The Bowen family have a wonderful record over the Grand National fences. And Mac Tottie had also scored over the fearsome Aintree obstacles in the Grand Sefton Chase in November, under another of Peter's sons James.
And the eight-year-old showed his liking for the fences – despite falling in the Becher in December – as he travelled well off the leaders and jumped superbly. As they crossed the Melling Road Sean Bowen had Mac Tottie cruising in behind the lead which had been held by Janika for a long time.
