Astral Charmer
Astral Charmer showed absolutely remarkable improvement when making all the running to win the William Hill Scottish Grand National. The horse was well clear after one circuit and despite tiring in the closing stages held on to score by 3 lengths from Current Gold.
The winner had only won one previous race, a small novice hunter chase on March 16 1981 which was also at Ayr Racecourse.
Stayed extreme distances and seemed well suited by front running tactics.
Acted on firm and heavy going
