Barrow can make a point in National

PAT HUGHES could leave a horrendous couple of months behind by saddling Point Barrow to land a typically wide open Powers' Whiskey Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse this afternoon.

Hughes' horses have been so out of sorts he has hardly had runners not to mind winners.

But there have been minor indications of late, however, he may be about to emerge from the doldrums and where better to start than with this massive prize.
