Another crack at the Crabbie’s Grand National is the dream for connections of Seabass after the 12-year-old rolled back the years with victory at Thurles on Sunday.

Seabass has been withdrawn from the Crabbie’s Grand National after suffering a serious injury at Down Royal on Monday.

Last year’s Grand National third Seabass will make his seasonal re-appearance in the Irish Hennessy at Leopardstown on February 9, rather than defend his crown in the Leopardstown Handicap Chase on Saturday.

Seabass and Felix Yonger provided Ruby Walsh with a superb Grade 2 double at Naas yesterday.
