Last two winners head entry for Irish Grand National

THIRTY-NINE horses remain in the €170,000 Powers Gold Label Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse on Easter Monday.

Davids Lad, victorious in 2001, and last year’s hero The Bunny Boiler figure in the line-up which also includes five British-trained entries.

Rince Ri has emerged as the likely top-weight providing the ground is safe, according to trainer Ted Walsh. The going is currently good-firm (good in places) on the chase track despite 9.4mm of rain on Sunday evening.
