Gordon Elliott to run eight in Irish Grand National

Impressive Cheltenham Festival winner Cause Of Causes is one of eight Gordon Elliott representatives declared for Monday’s Boylesports Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse.

He won the Kim Muir by 12 lengths last week and while he is entered in the Crabbie’s Grand National at Aintree, he is only 57th on the list for that race, so connections have opted to turn out again quickly here.

Elliott also runs Mala Beach, who looked set to win the Bobbyjo Chase when he fell at the second last.
