McManus Horses Head The Market
Oscars Brother has been installed as the 10/1 joint-favourite alongside Win Some Lose Some for the BOYLE Sports Irish Grand National with the sponsor after weights for the 2026 renewal were released on Wednesday.
The Connor King-trained eight-year-old, who is owned by JP McManus, was last seen finishing fourth in the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase at the Cheltenham Festival and is one of 85 entries eyeing up the €500,000 prize pot of Ireland's richest jumps race.
Padraig Roche, who is fresh from Cheltenham success with Saratoga, has entered Dublin Racing Festival runner-up Win Some Lose Some who is joint-favourite in the early betting with BOYLE Sports and also carries silks of McManus while National Hunt Chase winner, Holloway Queen (14/1), is the shortest priced of the eight British entries.
Curtis & The Green and Gold
Last year's winning trainer, Rebecca Curtis, has entered Newton Tornado, who will have to overcome odds of 33/1 if he is to emulate stablemate Haiti Coleurs, with Ultima winner Jonnywho another likely fancied runner carrying the green and gold at 16/1.
Dreaper Dynasty Chases History
Weights for the Easter Monday showpiece at Fairyhouse were revealed at the yard of Tom Dreaper, who has entered Folly Master (25/1) as he bids to become the third generation of the Dreaper family to win the BOYLE Sports Irish Grand National. His grandfather of the same name recorded nine victories in the race including with Arkle in 1964, while his father Jim was a four-time winning trainer.
Hanlon’s Hewick Surprise Entry
Sharks Hanlon's pint-sized stable star Hewick who has conquered the King George, Galway Plate and American Grand National received a surprise entry having run a fine race in the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham and is 20/1 to add another big prize to his illustrious CV.
Mullins Eyes Third BOYLE Sports Irish Grand National Victory
2023 BOYLE Sports Irish Grand National winner and the 2024 Grand National winner at Aintree, I Am Maximus, tops the weights for trainer Willie Mullins, who is also responsible for second weight Grangeclare West (25/1). However, Mullins' best chance of a victory according to the oddsmakers comes from Quai De Bourbon, who is a 16/1 shot to deliver a third win in Ireland's richest jumps race for the Closutton maestro having been sent off 11/2 favourite last year.
Brian O'Keeffe, Media Relations Manager for BOYLE Sports, said:
"The BOYLE Sports Irish Grand National is always one of the highlights of the Irish racing calendar and this year's renewal is shaping up to be another incredibly competitive contest. With the likes of Oscars Brother and Win Some Lose Some heading the early betting, alongside strong entries from leading trainers on both sides of the Irish Sea, we can't wait to see it all unfold on Easter Monday."
