FOR the fourth time within the past five years, the Randox Grand National winner was sourced from within the point-to-point fields on these shores, as Nick Rockett followed in the footsteps of Corach Rambler, Noble Yeats and Minella Times by scooping one of the biggest prizes within the sport.

The Walk In The Park gelding had made a winning start to his career when under the care of Pat Doyle. Notably, six of the first eight finishers in last Saturday’s National had run in a four-year-old maiden between the flags, with Nick Rockett’s introduction to competitive action coming at Curraghmore, a course local to his then owners, the O’Byrne family.
