Walsh records treble Ruby Walsh had a day to remember when winning the feature race of the day The Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup Grade 1 aboard the Paul Nicholls trained Neptune Collonges making it a treble on the day for the jockey.
Sun 15th Feb. Sun 28th Dec. After race at Leopardstown Sun, 15th Feb, 1st It took the horse a week to regain his confidence after his fall here the last day. He took a good old blow today, he has been giving the young horses a lead over the baby hurdles to get his confidence back. That's the best he's jumped for awhile. We put a sheepskin noseband on him today to help him concentrate and that run should be ideal for the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
If we got this ground in Cheltenham it would be ideal. We will probably go to Punchestown after Cheltenham. P F Nicholls.

He has been lightly raced since then, but showed he retains all his ability. He finished second in the Hennessy at Newbury in November and then a stayed on third in the Racing Plus Chase at Kempton last time out.
There are doubts about his stamina, but he goes best on a flat track like Aintree and he is a sound jumper. So provided the ground is good to soft he deserves to do well at the Grand National. His stable is also finally finding its form after a very disappointing season. He has to race of the same mark as he did in despite his long absence from the track. Also, no 13 year old has won the race since Deep Purple surprised everyone with his reserves of stamina by first winning the Charlie Hall.
He outstayed his rivals in the London National at Sandown in December too. Deep Purple is also fairly inconsistent and was having a bad day when falling in the Racing Plus Chase at Kempton. He needs the rain to stay away to have any chance at the Grand National. Even then, it is hard to see this unique test being to his liking. Amazingly, he has also won at Royal Ascot and victory here would complete a unique hat-trick. He was a good second at Doncaster in his prep race and he is in excellent hands with David Pipe.
Pipe was successful with Comply or Die in , whilst his father, Martin, trained Miinnehoma to win the race in Junior has a slightly unusual jumping style and the biggest worry if that style will suit these big fences. He is also 24lbs higher here than he was when winning at Cheltenham. Chicago Grey is another previous Cheltenham Festival winner in the line-up.
With his stamina assured, there are plenty of reasons to be positive about his chances in the Grand National. His trainer, Gordon Elliott, won the race with Silver Birch in One worry is that he likes to be dropped out in his races and come from behind.
That is a hard way to win a National these days. Good ground is also absolutely key to his chances. Tatenen put up a career best effort when winning at Ascot two starts ago.
However, he has been handicapped on that form here and so would have to improve again to be involved. He has also yet to win beyond 22f and has been well beaten on all his starts over 3m plus.
Seabass was rated when he won at Punchestown in December. In fact, he has won his last seven starts under rules and in point to points for trainer Ted Walsh.
However, he won a point to point in his early years over 3m in heavy ground. There is a very real chance that he could make history here as his substitute pilot, Katie Walsh, bids to become the first woman to win the race. On the whole, he is an excellent jumper which is also in his favour for the Grand National. There will be plenty of commentators and journalists who would love Shakalakaboomboom to win the Grand National. This horse is relatively lightly raced having had only 14 career starts to date.
It would be hard to say he is well handicapped on his current mark. His lack of experience is also a worry. So this has been the plan ever since. Indeed, he has been kept fresh since his win here in November. But if the ground stays soft, he is one to consider as stamina is his strong suit. He can throw in the odd poor effort though, pulled up three out of his last nine races.
Also, his handicap mark has gone up 12lbs for the Grand National. According To Pete is another horse who has been in the form of his life this campaign. He proved that his surprise success in the Rowland Meyrick at Wetherby over Christmas was no fluke. He won the Peter March at Haydock four weeks later. This is also another horse that relishes soft ground and stays all day.
He loves to race up with the pace, which is a plus in the Grand National. According to Pete is only three pounds higher than when winning at Haydock. Though, he was brought down when out of contention. However, he bounced back to form with a win in the Thyestes Chase. On His Own is the chosen mount of Ruby Walsh and has gone up 20lbs in the weights for that last success. He won so easily it is hard to judge just how much he had in hand over his rivals. His lack of experience is a worry only 9 races under rules to date as is the form of the yard, whose four runners were all pulled up this week.
The Walsh factor also means that the horse is now under-priced. All the value was taken when it was announced that the top Irish jockey was going to take the Grand National ride. Another inexperienced runner is Always Right. There have been excuses for those performances as the horse had a wind problem. But he travelled like the best horse for most of the way in the Grand National Trial at Haydock. However, he emptied out here and at Wetherby in the Rowland Meyrickquickly due to that wind problem.
He may also have been inconvenienced by the heavy ground on both starts. That effort would give him a decent chance here. When he won the Foxhunters at Cheltenham in , everyone was predicting huge things for Cappa Bleu. But his career went off the rails shortly afterwards only now has he started to show his best again. Stamina could prove to be his forte when doing most of his best work at the finish in his last outing at Ascot.
A mark of looks very reasonable and good to soft ground should be ideal for his Grand National. With his trainer is good form too, he looks set to run a very big race. His connections will be hoping that he can step up on that effort. By contrast, another Irish raider, Organisedconfusion, is very much on the upgrade. At seven, he should still have some improvement in him. He won the Irish National last season and his campaign this year has centred around the Grand National.
He has been trained in the style of a number of recent Irish winners. He has gone up nearly a stone for his Fairyhouse success and no seven year old has won the National since But, he has plenty of other factors in his favour and he goes particularly well for Nina Carberry.
Treacle has been all the rage in ante post markets since Pricewise tipped him up after the weights were announced.
