Rachael Blackmore can add to her impressive list of major race victories in the BoyleSports Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse this afternoon, where she rides FULL TIME SCORE (5.00) for Henry de Bromhead.
The lightly-raced eight-year-old has only four chase outings on his CV and is the least experienced runner in the field.
But Blackmore’s mount has been mapped out for this race by De Bromhead – who has also yet to win this valuable prize – scoring well at the same course last month, when beating Discorama a length over three miles. He arrives a fresh horse and has just 10st 6lb on his back in this stamina test over three miles and five furlongs.
The Jonjo O’Neill -trained Time To Get Up, winner of the 2021 Midlands National at Uttoxeter, who failed to make the Randox Grand National at Aintree, is worth an each-way wager.
GOLDEN BOY GREY (4.02) scored a third victory this season at Ascot three weeks ago, and has 5lb more on his back in the Betting.Bet Sussex Champion Chase Handicap Chase at Plumpton.
Gary Moore’s six-year-old was impressive that day, winning by two and three-quarter lengths ahead of the hot favourite Thyme White and looks the type to improve further.
