In today's Irish Grand National, I'm going for Matthew Smith's Another Chance, who just scraped in at the bottom of the handicap as a reserve. The eight-year-old ran a great race to finish a length and a quarter runner-up behind History Of Fashion in a listed race over this C&D last time we saw him in December, with this year's Kim Muir winner Daily Present nearly five lengths behind in third. That was his first attempt at today's marathon trip, and if he can get close to repeating it here, he can outrun his massive price.

It's Irish Grand National day today, and this year my pin landed on Gavin Cromwell's mudlark, Now Is The Hour, who was going well when he came down at the second-last in the National Hunt Chase at the festival in March.

Mark Loughnane's four-time C&D winner Follow Your Heart won by a length at Wolverhampton last month and might have been worth more than the winning margin suggests.

Tom Lacey's five-year-old Walden finished third at both Leicester and Huntingdon before disappointing on his handicap debut at Doncaster last time, which can be excused because four of the eight flights were omitted due to low sun.

He has been in good form when last seen in the winter under new partner Hector Crouch, who won a pair of Kempton handicaps on him. That latest win has been franked by subsequent wins from the third and fourth, and he's likely been kept fresh for this.

Daniel & Claire Kubler could pull off a major shock here with Andaleep, who looked a little unlucky to go down by three-quarters of a length to Kings Code (who has won again since) at Wolverhampton in December. He ran no sort of race at Kempton last time, so if you forgive that run, I'm sure you will agree that 100/1 is far too big a price for him today.

James Fanshawe's Heathcliff can reverse January’s form when he finished fourth behind the Marshman, now that he is better off at the weights. He didn’t get the clearest of runs that day and found himself further back than ideal, but kept on into fourth, leaving the impression he may have gone closer with a clearer run. He was unsuited by the steady pace over six furlongs at Kempton. Next time, again at Kempton, this time over seven furlongs, he stumbled leaving the stalls and was again denied a clear run when making some headway. Hopefully, he will get a clear run today.

Roger Teal's Rosario was placed in the Group 2 Flying Childers Stakes at Doncaster and the Group 3 Cornwallis Stakes at Newmarket as a juvenile. The four-year-old was rated 102 at this stage last year and has been given a chance by the handicapper, who has dropped him a total of 7 lb, despite him going close at Chelmsford (when poorly drawn) and at Kempton. A return to turf and the forecast good ground should be very much in his favor. First-time cheekpieces are added.

She cruised into the lead after two out before keeping on well to run out a comfortable winner. She followed up over the same C&D a week later. On both occasions, she stayed on well, so today's extra three furlongs should not be any problem for her. At 50/1, she is a great e.w. bet.
