Trainer Tom Gibney is doing his best to keep his feet on the ground as he puts the finishing touches to his Randox Grand National favourite Intense Raffles.
With the world's most famous steeplechase now less than a fortnight away, Gibney opened his doors to the media on Tuesday morning to celebrate the launch of the 2025 Boylesports Irish Grand National, a race the County Meath handler won for a second time with Intense Raffles last season.
