Tiger Roll Among Entries For Irish Grand National

Thursday, 11 March 2021 16:28

Ruby Walsh celebrates his BoyleSports Irish Grand National success on the Willie Mullins-trained Burrows Saint at Fairyhouse in 2019.

98 horses have been entered for the 2021 renewal.

Burrows Saint, who gave Willie Mullins his first success in the Irish Grand National two years ago, among the champion trainer’s 16 entries for the Easter Monday race early next month.

Acapella Bourgeois, who defeated Burrows Saint in the Bobbyjo Chase at Fairyhouse last month, is also among the runners for team Mullins. 

Having taken over the license at Gordon Elliott's yard, Denise Foster has 22 entries in the race including dual Aintree Grand National winner Tiger Roll and 2018 Irish National champion General Principle. 

A full list of entries can be found here.

Peter Roe, General Manager of Fairyhouse Racecourse, said:

“The entry for the BoyleSports Irish Grand National is as strong as we hoped for. To have Tiger Roll among the 98 horses entered is intriguing to say the least and there will be far more shape to the race when the handicapper has his say on Monday week, after the Cheltenham Festival performances have been taken into account.”
