he Irish Grand National either goes to classy 3 milers like last years first two home Bluesea Cracker and Oscar Time or real stayers like Butlers Cabin and Nine De Sivola.
I'll take 3 each way, 5 places with 365, Boyle & Power. Fortune favours the brave so I'll start with 33-1
shot A NEW STORY, ( 44 on betfair ) 13 years old only he doesn't seem to know it. Age blunts speed but not stamina. I'll take a 12 year old in the Grand National but 13 too old. This horse is the exception that proves the rule, he loves it here and good ground is right up his street. Next is WESTERN CHARMER 20-1. ( 28 on betfair ) A classy type who has been finishing well over 3 miles. Second last time up to course specialist Mr Cracker at Limerick. The ground is an unknown but a class horse with a low weight at 20-1 is worth taking a chance with. Finally WHATYOUTHINK 14-1 ( 20 on betfair ) another with class and stamina who once beat Forpadydeplasterer on good ground, was third in this last year and ran a race full of promise last time over too short a distance.
