April 11, 20241 yr Author Here we go: Mack 18 Mr Incredible (Ire) 8 10-11 Willie Mullins IRE Brian Hayes 11/1 About: Placed in major handicaps on his three completions for this yard and the two non-completions weren't his fault, including as the saddle slipped when he was running a big race in last year's National; not seen again until his Midlands National second, so he's proved himself at 4m2f on heavy ground; now he has to do it all again four weeks later and the standing start might be a concern for one who used to have problems setting off in his races and still has issues at home, but he's a player if, as connections expect, that latest run improves his fitness.
April 11, 20241 yr Author Dobbo 19 Run Wild Fred (Ire) 10 10-10 Gordon Elliott IRE Tom Hamilton 80/1 About: Acts on heavy; his solitary chase win from 20 attempts came back in 2021; runner-up in that year's Irish National and the 2022 National Hunt Chase but he fell at the first Canal Turn in this race in 2022 and, after 356 days off, a respectable reappearance was much his best effort this term; didn't show much when 50-1 at Cheltenham last month.
April 11, 20241 yr Author Jade 6 Minella Indo (Ire) 11 11-6 Henry de Bromhead IRE Rachael Blackmore 22/1 About: Acts on heavy; won the 2021 Cheltenham Gold Cup and has always shaped as if stamina is a strong suit; while his powers are on the wane, so is his handicap mark and he took well to the Cheltenham cross-country in December when last seen; ante-post favourite for the festival cross-country race there which was abandoned; it's ten years since any horse aged more than nine has won the National but 15 were placed in the last ten runnings (six in the last five) and 11-year-olds won it in 2012, 2013 and 2014.
April 11, 20241 yr Author awardinary 3 Coko Beach (Fra) 9 11-8 Gordon Elliott IRE Jordan Gainford 33/1 About: Stays 3m4f; career-best form in major handicaps this season, including over these fences when second in the heavy-ground Becher, before winning his cross-country debut (3m) in February; handicapper has responded but chief headache for backers is what he did in the last two Grand Nationals, as he disputed the lead long way but ended 66 lengths adrift on first occasion and pulled up on second; may need a different tactic.
April 11, 20241 yr Author AaronTM 10 Mahler Mission (Ire) 8 11-5 John McConnell IRE Ben Harvey 18/1 About: Usually front-runs or races prominently; best known for last year's National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham Festival (3m6f, soft; has won well on soft to heavy) where he was four lengths ahead when falling two out; that left a stamina question unanswered but he resumed improvement to be second in the big 3m2f handicap at Newbury in November when last seen; raised 7lb but he's a second-season chaser who may well improve again and makes serious appeal
