Power eyes National glory on Killyglen

GRAND National-winning jockey Robbie Power believes the bookmakers have got it wrong regarding his mount Killyglen in Saturday’s John Smith’s sponsored spectacular at Aintree.

Power landed the great race on only his second attempt when galloping to glory on Silver Birch in 2007 and feels odds as big as 66-1 offered on Stuart Crawford’s nine-year-old are way off the mark.

“He’s in good, old form. I rode him at Navan after racing last Saturday week. I jumped five fences on him and he went really well. He seemed in good order, but you need a lot of luck,” said Power.
