BoyleSports Irish Grand National Set for Thrilling Showdown
As anticipation builds for the BoyleSports Irish Grand National on Easter Monday, the latest confirmation stage has solidified the lineup, leaving all top contenders in contention for the prestigious title. Among the frontrunners stands Nick Rockett, the 7-2 favorite, poised to lead Willie Mullins’ charge in the illustrious event.
Nick Rockett, backed by Paddy Power, emerges as a formidable force following his recent second-place finish to American Mike in a Navan Grade 2 encounter. Mullins, eyeing his third victory in five years, could further bolster his arsenal with Grade 1 winner Minella Cocooner and We’llhavewan. Notable contenders such as Intense Raffles and Desertmore House add to the race’s allure.
Gavin Cromwell’s duo, Hartur D’Arc and Yeah Man, promise stiff competition, while Gordon Elliott’s potential nine-strong lineup, including Grade 2 victor Favori De Champdou, ensures a thrilling showdown. Henry de Bromhead’s lone entry, Senior Chief, adds an element of surprise to the mix.
In a bid for redemption, Sir Gerhard aims to bounce back from a lackluster Stayers’ Hurdle performance at Cheltenham Festival, eyeing the Rathbarry & Glenview Studs Hurdle Grade 2 alongside stablemates Zarak The Brave and Asterion Forlonge. The British contingent, led by the intriguing Brewin’upastorm, promises to intensify the competition.
Furthermore, Fairyhouse’s card features additional highlights, including the Grade 2m juvenile hurdle and the Grade 2 Chase, showcasing top talents such as Appreciate It and Ash Tree Meadow. With an array of contenders vying for glory, the BoyleSports Irish Grand National promises an exhilarating display of talent and determination.
