Iain Jardine proved his versatility when Cool Mix won the highlight of Wetherby’s season-opening fixture.

It was a significant victory for the dual-purpose Scottish trainer whose finest hour came when Nakeeta won the 2017 Ebor at York.

The Bobby Renton takes its name from the North Yorkshire trainer who saddled Freebooter to win the 1950 Grand National and was run at a frenetic pace.

Yet Cool Mix, patiently ridden by Conor O’Farrell, took it up in the closing stages and saw off the favourite Sky Pirate with Storm Control back in third.

Cracking Find was running a fine race for the Sue Smith team and owner Ann Ellis before parting company with jockey Ryan Mania at the last of 16 fences.
