Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...David Bass rode 20/1 shot Does He Know in the Grimthorpe on what was considered unsuitable soft ground, against many experienced opponents who much-preferred the going.
Oh yes, with 12 stone, top weight, given all but one of his rivals a stone.
Seven out, Bass jumped past the leader Half Shot and kicked on. They all cried off, one-by-one, until only a progressive horse that was considered a handicap snip, Some Scope, receiving 24 lbs, remained at the third-last.
Sheehan brought Some Scope alongside between 3 and 2 out, but Does He Know pulled away with a good jump at the penultimate fence and a brilliant leap, gaining two lengths, at the last. Then stayed on strongly to win by over 3 lengths.
OK, it’s not going to grab the glory by being an eyecatcher like Townsend on Absurde in the County, but that performance was National Hunt racing, for me. Brilliant work.
