The Midnight Club looks the answer

THE Grade 2 At The Races Bobbyjo Chase at Fairyhouse this afternoon promises a fascinating contest, should the meeting survive an 8am inspection, with five of the nine runners gearing up for a possible tilt at the Aintree Grand National on April 9.

The five are Vic Venturi, Arbor Supreme, Bluesea Cracker, Oscar Time and The Midnight Club and, of course, if one of them wins then they will not incur a penalty, with the weights for the National having already been published.

Those of us who believe The Midnight Club has a real life in the Aintree spectacular off 10-13 will be looking for a big run from Willie Mullins’ charge and he is the selection.
