It was an emotional afternoon for the trainer
Fergal O'Brien was an emotional figure as Crambo repeated his victory of last year by winning a second Howden Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot. The seven-year-old disappointed at Cheltenham and Aintree since that victory over Paisley Park last December, but he returned to the winners enclosure on Saturday.
Once Johnny Burke had mastered him, there was a new danger, as Henry de Bromhead’s Hiddenvalley Lake put down the final challenge, but he just failed by a head. Beauport stuck on for third, with The Wallpark fourth. The favourite Strong Leader was one of the first beaten and never looked like winning.
“If we were going to see the old Crambo, the best place to come was here. I couldn’t do it without the owners, I’m so grateful to Chris for letting me wait and come back here. He’s shown us what we wanted to see today.
