Steven Francis Hazell had a couple of wins over jumps in the early 1990s, the first of them being a comfortable victory on the all-weather at Southwell when San Francisco Joe beat six rials in the Hawton Handicap Hurdle on March 2, 1990. The six-year-old took the lead four out and scored by 12 lengths.

The pair had finished second, beaten five lengths, on a similar surface at Lingfield Park seven days earlier. Following their Southwell success, they were unplaced at Devon & Exeter three weeks later, after which Richard Dunwoody took over in the saddle.

It was nearly two years before Steven had his other winner. Cornish trainer Trevor Hallett was responsible for Rose Lancaster, who landed the Percy Woodland Novices’ Chase at Fontwell Park on March 17, 1992, the mare holding the challenge of Tagmoun Chaufour by a length and a half.

Steven had ridden the nine-year-old on her four previous starts, finishing second on the latest occasion. Eleven days later the pair pulled up at Southwell. Steven had few further opportunities thereafter.

Percy Woodland (1882-1958), for whom the race was named, was champion National Hunt jockey in 1903 and remains the only man to have ridden two Grand National winners (Drumcree, 1903, and Covertcoat, 1913), two Grand Steeple Chase de Paris winners (Dandolo, 1904, and Canard, 1905) and two French Derby winners (Maintenon, 1906, and Or du Rhin, 1910). After World War I he began training, based in Cholderton, Wiltshire, his best horse being Leinster, who won a dozen chases including the Grand Sefton and the Champion Chase twice. After World War II he acted as a starter under National Hunt rules.
