From the moment the tapes went up, Myretown meant business. Bowling along in front with ears pricked and stride assured, Lucinda Russell’s charge never saw another rival, delivering a scintillating performance to win – the yard’s third triumph in the race in the last four years.
That was FLAWLESS!

Under a perfectly judged ride from Patrick Wadge, the eight-year-old—carrying the same silks and sharing the same sire as Ahoy Senor—soon established a commanding lead. It was a position he never relinquished.
Joe Tizzard’s The Changing Man tried to close the gap, but as they straightened for home, a spectacular leap at the last sealed the deal. Myretown powered clear in emphatic fashion, surging up the hill to score by an impressive 11 lengths as the well-backed 13-2 favourite. Malina Girl took third for Gavin Cromwell.
A jubilant Lucinda Russell admitted she had been unsure about running Myretown, but was persuaded by his connections:
"I wasn’t keen, but the owners said, ‘Come on, let’s have a go!’ and he was well handicapped if he jumped round. I just didn’t know if he’d be man enough, but it looks like he is!"
Then came the realisation that made the victory all the sweeter:
"I’ve just remembered I own half of him – so it’s just got even better!"
Russell, already well accustomed to training top-class staying chasers, drew comparisons between Myretown and some of her stable stars:
"We bought him because he looked like Ahoy Senor, and I always thought he might be another one. He’s a bit different to Corach Rambler, who jumps so exuberantly, but Corach was a star – just a different type of horse. This is a brilliant horse and I’m delighted for Patrick. Not a bad ride for his first Festival winner, was it? It was really brave."
A beaming Patrick Wadge, soaking in his breakthrough moment at the Cheltenham Festival, was full of praise for his mount:
"I couldn’t believe, jumping three out, that I couldn’t hear anything around me. I just hoped I hadn’t gone too quick! I gave him a squeeze on the bend, and he just took off – I think he could have gone round again."
With his first Festival winner now in the bag, Wadge reflected on what might be to come:
"I don’t know how good he could be, but he’s the best I’ve ever sat on – and he might just be the best I ever will."
