BOYLE Sports Irish Grand National: three for your shortlist
By Racing TV
Last Updated: Mon 6 Apr 2026
Racing TV's Danny Archer reveals the three contenders that are on his shortlist for this year's BOYLE Sports Irish Grand National, live on Racing TV at 5.00pm on Monday.
Danny also has a strong fancy for Sunday's action at Fairyhouse, so make sure you watch the full reel on Racing TV's TikTok page - click here to view - to find out who Danny likes the chances of.
Soldier In Milan
Best odds: 9-1.
This seven-year-old was a good winner over Kiss Will in a Beginners’ Chase at Punchestown on his penultimate start in February.
He disappointed when fourth behind C’Est Ta Chance at Thurles last time out, but I think you can forgive that run, and a rating of 142 makes appeal.
He's now a best-priced 9-1 to provide the Emmet Mullins team with BOYLE Sports Irish Grand National glory.
C’Est Ta Chance
Best odds: 16-1.
If you fancy Soldier In Milan, then I think you have got to give a big shout to C’Est Ta Chance, who is chalked up at 16-1.
He has to prove his stamina, but his last run, when winning a Grade Three novice chase at Thurles under Paul Townened, was a really nice performance.
The seven-year-old quickened up in good style there to score by almost five lengths and, similar to Soldier In Milan, he’s open to a lot more improvement off a rating of 142.
Goraibhmaithagat
Best odds: 16-1.
The other contender who makes the shortlist for Monday's BOYLE Sports Irish Grand National is Goraibhmaithagat.
Colm Murphy's charge was a good winner of a Listed handicap chase at Naas in February, and then finished second last time out when stepping up in trip, and caught the eye.
He would prefer a bit of cut in the ground but, again, with just six runs over fences under his belt, he could have stacks of improvement left in him. He's part of a strong squad for the J P McManus team
I also have a strong fancy who wears the green and gold hoops at Fairyhouse on Sunday. Make sure you watch the TikTok reel above to find out who that is!
