Paul Green took the horse away from martin Pipe which was a big mistake as he went backwards from then onwards

He was already 9 years old when this race was ran. Ran in the Gold Cup as a novice but struggled. Next race was two years later in the 2001 Grand National. Bizarelly, ran in a Naas hurdle race aged 16 after a four year break.
