yes you are right. same dam, Flower Child. Dessie was a year older and both trained by David Elsworth. Here Ragged Robin was ridden by Colin Brown, but pulled up lame after the last.
Dixton House, favourite for the 1989 National was also in this field.
I love the understated commentary of Sir peter Osullevan on here. He doesnt really get excited at all, bar the last furlong, and even that is in context. With the exception of Simon Holt, todays moronic commentators are squealing like pigs after 100 yards of a crap seller on a wet Monday at Kempton. .

I know Welsh Oak went on to run in chases, and was possibly placed in a Mackeson.
