Think it also ran in the old Embassy Premier Chase Final at Haydock one year.https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/28990269/derek-kent-now-there-is-a-man-who-could-train-a-horse-where-is-he-now?post_id=517415737#517415737Kent had a fairly decent chaser called Narribinni in the late 1970's.
