Donn McClean leaves no stone unturned as he runs the rule over every single horse in the BoyleSports Irish Grand National, settling on Jack Kennedy s mount, Run Wild Fred.
BoyleSports Irish Grand National Chase (Grade A)
When: 5.00pm, Easter Monday
Odds:
Latest Exhibition (Trainer: Paul Nolan – Jockey: Bryan Cooper)
A top class novice who also had Sunday’s Grade 1 two-and-a-half-mile novices’ chase as an option, he was a Grade 1 winner last season as a novice hurdler, and he has finished second to Monkfish in Grade 1 chases twice this season.
