WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR - GRAND ANNUAL 2024
Dan Skelton celebrated a second handicap victory on the day when Unexpected Party struck in the Grand Annual. Harry Skelton’s mount raced prominently and repelled several challengers in the straight to beat Libberty Hunter by two and a quarter lengths. Victory for the 12-1 shot continued a dismal run for favourites in the Grand Annual, with just one successful market leader (Chosen Mate in 2020) in the past ten runnings. The Gordon Elliott-trained Sa Fureur was the 4-1 favourite last year but could only manage fourth in the 16-runner field.
