Lennon looks to call National tune

Liam Lennon has his fingers firmly crossed Tammys Hill can transfer his smart hunter chase form to the open ranks when his stable star goes for glory in the Boylesports Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse on Easter Monday.

The nine-year-old gave the County Down handler his best ever day on a racecourse when lifting the CGA Foxhunter Chase at Cheltenham last month, but Lennon knows this valuable and historic staying handicap chase is in a different league to that contest.
