Hat throws cap into ring for Irish National

Pass The Hat threw his cap into the ring for the Irish Grand National when holding the challenge of Kylecrue to capture the Carrickmines Handicap Chase at Leopardstown yesterday.

Trainer Arthur Moore also saddled the 9-2 favourite Home Farm, but he weakened into seventh place as his second-string obliged.

Pass The Hat (6-1) got the verdict by a length in the hands of Robbie Colgan after a terrific tussle that saw the pair take the last together, with He’llberemembered third.
