Irish Grand National

Folsom Blue looks quite interesting too, I make him 3lbs better off than when finishing 5th in this 2 years ago, with the claim, he was hampered back then but was still only 7 lnths off the winner, worth another ew dart, needs to put a couple of poor runs behind him but the race is a bit of a lottery anyway, so proven form must be worth something
 
I've also had a word through for Flyball Redcar 4.55, around 25/1
 
My two in this are Bonny Kate 10/1 and Killer Crow 16/1.

Good luck all
 
Take a bow Istabraq!! What a tough horse.
 
:encouragement: Ista well done again - top tipping
 
Cheers Gents but I did very little work on the race this year and only backed the horse because I put hours into this last year and came up with the Rogue Angel (when he fell at the first !).
Had something of a plunge on Death Duty in the bumper which took the shine off the day but I had a nice pick up.
Hope you're all filling those coffers for Aintree....

One to keep an eye on there Mr M, dropped 18lb from opening mark and will probably be dropped another 3 or 4 lb after today, was backed into 10s so clearly someone thinks the horse has ability.
He'll pop up at 16s one day when no-one has a bean on him !

It was interesting Isty, I get the feeling someone pulled the trigger too soon, it has the hallmark of a plot horse but I think this race was just part of the build up rather than the target
 
i cant believe I left Clondaw W unbacked yesterday. Need to get the tracker updated.
