Easter Monday sees the return of the BoyleSports Irish Grand Nationwide and former winner of the race Robbie Energy joined Unbridled to provide his picks this 12 months.
Energy steered Our Duke to victory at Fairyhouse in 2017 in simply the horse’s fourth begin over fences.
The 2025 line-up seems to be set to incorporate a pair of eye catching British raiders with Rebecca Curtis’ Haiti Couleurs and Johnnywho for Jonjo and AJ O’Neill.
“Novices have a great record in the race so you’ll look for a horse like Our Duke,” Energy stated. “There’s a few in there this year.
“I have never a clue what Willie [Mullins] goes to run. He himself most likely would not know at this stage.
“Johnnywho was very unfortunate at Cheltenham when he was second to Day by day Current. I would say Derek O’Connor thought he had the race within the bag on the final the place he misplaced precious momentum. I feel he has a giant probability.
“Haiti Couleurs might be a bit quick out there for me. He was winner at Cheltenham, beating Rock My Approach, however the value is simply too quick.
“Now Is The Hour for Gavin Cromwell, who has won just about every handicap in Ireland this season. He fell in the race won by Haiti Couleurs at Cheltenham and his run before that when fourth to Three Card Brag would be good enough form for me. I think he could be ahead of the handicapper.
“You must give a point out to Day by day Current for Paul Nolan. He’d be a very talked-about winner and I would give him each-way probability.”
