BEAUPORT gave jockey Jordan Nailor a landmark success at Sandown a few years ago when the 28/1 shot , trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies, won the Grade 3 European Breeders’ Fund Paddy Power ‘National Hunt’ Novices’ Handicap Hurdle Final, sporting the Grand National-winning colours of Bryan and Philippa Burrough associated with Corbiere.

It was the then 22-year-old rider’s first winner at Sandown and first graded or listed winner. Beauport has been good to Nailor and at the weekend they combined for the biggest win of both the horse’s and jockey’s career, taking home the bet365 Midlands Grand National Handicap Chase after defeating the Willie Mullins-trained challenger, Mr Incredible.
