Yeah, sorry, just re-read the title, I don't necessarily think they will come out, just a hunch I guess. Question marks over IC, then how many of the others had the Grand National down as their seasonal aim? The ground I'd have thought was very iportant to Joncol's inclusion.
I'm basically fishing to see if anyone knows of horses who are doubtful participants that all ;-) |

By:
I can't see Imperial Commander lining up either. Cloudy Lane will go for the Aintree foxhunters. Balthazar King and Always Waining like top of the ground, so must be doubtful at this stage.
Several others likely to run in Irish National next Monday - the likes of Romanesco, Tofino Bay, Magnanimity, Treacle, Ninetieth Minute, Bostons Angel, Lost Glory, Bob Lingo, Quiscover Fontaine, Quel Esprit and Forpadydeplasterer all still possibles for Fairyhouse. Many will remain in National decs just in case they fall early in Ireland ... Just a chance we might not get a full field of 40 in 12 days time, especially if it is testing going. |
|
By:
It's a good point about the Irish National, hope Tofino Bay does skip the Irish version and lines up on the 6th April.
|
|
By:
yes, decs for the Irish National in the next couple of days.
|
|
By:
Going back to Imperial Commander, if he misses this race what else does he go for this season? If he is fit and well why not let him take his chance, what are they saving him for 2014 Gold Cup??
|
|
By:
The Grade 1 Bowl? I think he'll be fine from his virus, but his price for the National possibly suggests he won't participate.
|
|
By:
I thought Roberta Goldback has been aimed at this all year?
I have Bob Lingo as likely nr and I think Big Fella will go for the Topham as he doesn't get home over the national trip. |
|
By:
RG is Hendersons only runner so will definitely line up if well, ridden by BG I think will go well.
|
|
By:
I thought the intention with Bostons Angel was Aintree? I think I read in the RP Weekender that he was being aimed at the race.
|
|
By:
he actually ticks plenty of the boxes for me.
|
|
By:
I think the only other comment Jessica Harrington made was that he doesn't want it too soft and with the way the weather is that is a concern. If they have a choice between Fairyhouse on Monday and Aintree a week on Saturday from a going perspective they might well choose to wait a bit longer in the hope that the ground dries out slightly.

By:
there's not a lot of rain forecast up here this week, but it's fecking baltic!
|
|
By:
id love rare bob to run,, but odds against it getting in,
|
|
By:
well maybe not after all i thought he was around no 50.
|
|
By:
Bit of a strange drift on Beshabar?
|
|
By:
looks as if its out with 160 available to back
|
|
By:
Owners state Beshabar misses the race
|
|
By:
Press release states he's been taking out of training :-(
|
|
By:
gutted for connections, kept in training all year for this and they miss out :(
|
|
By:
bah had a large chunk on it
|
|
By:
twist wants to run the commander owners not so keen family pet etc
|
|
By:
Tofino Bay looking doubtful..
|
|
By:
Probably going for the Irish national on Monday, shame Id backed him at 33/1
|
|
By:
PDB out as well
|
|
By:
Looks like Magnanimity, Romanesco and Quiscover Fontaine are still in the Irish national. Bostons Angel, Joncol and Tofino Bay are not entered according to RP website.
|
|
By:
Makes you wonder why Tofino Bay is such a big price on here then???
|
|
By:
According to twitter Dessie has stated that Tofino Bay goes for a race at Limerick, BetVictor Racing @BetVictorRacing
Trainer states a novice chase at Limerick on Sunday week is the plan for Tofino Bay. We've removed him from #GN2013 betting & Irish GN. |
|
By:
any news on Quiscover Fontaine would be appreciated
|
|
By:
Cheers Senor, banked him NRNB so no harm done...
|
|
By:
Will NRNB books apply rule 4s based on those that are currently listed but don't run?
|
|
By:
im sure ive read somewhere that it runs judo
|
|
By:
Gabs - No rule 4's on AP bets.
