The Irish cleaned up in last Saturday’s Grand National at Aintree and it looks like the Scottish version of the race will also be heading across the Irish Sea with CROSSHUE BOY (Ayr, nap, 3.35).
Course winning form is always a bonus when seeking out a potential winner but this afternoon a proven record of going well on relatively quick ground will arguably be even more significant with the sun shining in the west of Scotland.
Crosshue Boy, trained by Sean Doyle in County Wexford, ticks both boxes courtesy of a useful win in the J & D Pierce Novices’ Handicap Chase on this day, 12 months ago. He beat Scottish National ante-post favourite Dingo Dollar on that occasion by a length. The selection is 7lb worse off with his conquered rival but the suspicion is he has a lot more to give.
