Exactly that Carry On Katie.
Her brother The Marquis, Alfonso ‘Fon ‘ de Portago was an interesting chap.
In 1950 was third on Garde Toi in Cottage Rake’s third Cheltenham Gold Cup and rode the same horse in Freebooter’s Grand National in the days when the Aintree fences were stiff and unforgiving, earning the description ‘bloody great green stone walls’.
He was also a champion on the Cresta Run, a Davis Cup tennis player for Spain and fearless driver of anything on wheels. It was his friendship with Enzo Ferrari which caused his untimely death. Just before a Mille Miglia, that fearsome Sicilian road race in which Sterling Moss achieved one of his greatest triumphs, a Ferrari driver fell ill and Portago, with no proper preparation or reconnaissance, volunteered as a favour to take his place. Still in in his 20’s he was fatally injured when his car went off the road.

Good answer but it’s not right.
Time for some clues i think.
Founder member of the association of professional pessimists and the kind of man who would bring a downer to a melancholists’ mission.
Epitome of the traditional jumps trainer, having no time for the Flat and tolerating hurdle racing only as a preparation for chasing.
A real grafter!
