Riders Onthe Storm (16-1) took the Jewson Monet’s Garden Old Roan Limited Handicap Chase to land a home win for his Merseyside owners at Aintree Racecourse.
As racing returned to the home of the Randox Grand National the Richard Hobson-trained nine-year-old provided Southport-born Carl Hinchy and Mark Scott, from Aigburth, with a special victory on home soil. Both are regulars visitors to Aintree and have had runners separately in the Randox Grand National and they have also enjoyed success with Riders Onthe Storm at the Liverpool track in the past.
Birkdale-based Hinchy has also won at the Grand National Festival with Dame Rose and almost every horse they have is geared at trying to land success on 'home' soil.
