Country Mile made his debut in a highly anticipated contest at Chaddesley Corbett. The 4yo son of Ocovango a sire enjoying a good time of things travelled very nicely through his race jumping well in the main. He moved up with menace travelling well turning in for home but stumbled badly (lucky to stay on his feet) going into two out which cost him valuable momentum in the closing stages. He picked up in taking fashion though after jumping two out and he clearly possesses lots of ability and has an engine. He ran on very well to the line and was maybe a tad unlucky.
