Here’s the big one. The Randox Grand National Handicap Chase over four miles and an extended two furlongs.
Time to give you my 1-2-3-4.
Delta Work
Third in 2022 behind Noble Yeats and now rated 1lb lower in 159. Similar type to Tiger Roll in being a Grade 1 horse who has come through the X-Country ranks. Gutsy and brilliant winner at Cheltenham last time. Has every chance under Keith Donoghue.
Longhouse Poet
I had him to do well last year and weakened into sixth behind Noble Yeats. Was back in great form last time at Down Royal and this year’s renewal might not be quite as good as 2022. Is on the same mark again of 155 and appeared to jump well over these fences. JJ Slevin rides for former hero Martin Brassil.
The Big Dog
Giant of a chaser who stays very well. Fell when last seen at Leopardstown in Grade 1 company but is usually a good jumper and is a Troytown winner in Ireland. Stiff handicap mark but he’s got an each-way chance if he enjoys the place and might just surprise a few people. Aidan Coleman rides for Peter Fahey.
Noble Yeats
Up 19lb from when landing the great prize last year as a 50-1 no-hoper. He’s since proved that was no fluke landing a Grade 2 Many Clouds Chase here and finishing a staying on strongly fourth behind Galopin des Champs in the Cheltenham Gold Cup. It won’t be easy under 11st 11lb but if he likes the fences the second time around he’s got the class to get involved once again under Sean Bowen for Emmet Mullins.
So best of luck and hope for Yeeehaaas. You hear me Paddy?
