Below are the top ten in the betting for the race at the time of writing:

  • Any Second Now 7/1
  • Pairofbrowneyes 8/1
  • Discorama 10/1
  • Jury Duty 10/1
  • Tiger Roll 12/1

Tips

Jury Duty unseated his rider Robbie Power in the Aintree Grand National when strongly fancied and if he lines up here, he should have a big chance.

Power could have ridden Magic Of Light, who finished second in the Aintree event, but opted to partner this lad instead.

The Meath man won this contest on Our Duke in 2017 and could go close again if on board Jury Duty for trainer Gordon Elliott, who won last year's Irish Grand National with General Principle.

What happened last year?

The Gigginstown-owned General Principle prevailed in awful conditions to give jockey J J Slevin his biggest career win to date.

The 20/1 shot came home ahead of Willie Mullins' Isleofhopendreams in second and Edward Cawley's Forever Gold in third.

Elliott also had the fourth in the shape of Folsom Blue, who Power partnered.
