Not a great renewal..Ever Blessed giving Mark Pitman his first big win as a trainer..went on that winter to have star novice Monsignor who ended up hacking up at Cheltenham but things never worked out for either trainer or the horse after that excellent 99/2000 season for both
Mark Pitman had won the Cheltenham bumper earlier in the year but I suppose it depends on how you define a big win. The prize money was not great but on the other hand it was a Grade 1 at the festival.
