We're aiming to field a strong team in our quest for a first Irish National win

We have not yet been fortunate enough to have won the Irish Grand National, although we have gone close a few times, most recently 12 months ago when Isleofhopendreams lost out in a photo-finish. He was a reserve at Aintree but didn't get into the race and he'll be on our team for Fairyhouse on Easter Monday in the hope that he might go one better than last year.

We have plenty of entries for Ireland's most valuable steeplechase and Pairofbrowneyes, who won the Leinster National at Naas last month, will definitely be heading to Fairyhouse. We changed plans by taking him out of the Aintree National to wait for the Irish version.

Total Recall is also an intended runner and we're hoping that both Burrows Saint, a Grade 3 winner at Limerick last month, and Bellow Mome will make the cut.
