Grand National week started with a huge shock when Freewheelin Dylan, a 150-1 shot, lived up to his name and make all the running to win the Irish equivalent, the Boylesports Irish National, at Fairyhouse on Monday.
Front running is all about the jumping and every time the nine-year-old, trained locally by Dermot McLoughlin and ridden by Ricky Doyle, looked like getting swamped by more fancied horses he would take another length out of the field with his jumping.
