Irish Grand National LIVE tips, results, updates and more from Fairyhouse
Away from Fairyhouse, news has emerged that Now Is The Hour won’t run in English Grand National at Aintree on Saturday.
However, trainer Gavin Cromwell will still be represented by two runners in the race in Final Orders and Perceval Legallois, while Yeah Man is also still in the race, but does run today.
Speaking to William Hill, Cromwell said: “Unfortunately, Now Is The Hour is out for the rest of the season and he’ll be taken out of the Grand National at the forfeit stage today.
“He’s had a great season, winning the Thyestes and running well at Cheltenham, and it’s a real shame for everyone because having a runner in the Grand National is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the owners.
“Final Orders and Perceval Legallois are both in good order and will be confirmed, as will Yeah Man although he runs today in the Irish National and is very unlikely to get in at Aintree.”
