It's Grand National Time For The Big Dog

Offaly brothers Colin and Damien Kelly will see their Peter Fahy trained runner take the starters orders at Aintree tomorrow.

The Offaly flag will be flying in Aintree tomorrow when  the runners and riders come under starters' orders in this year's Grand National.

Trained by Peter Fahey, and owned by Offaly brothers Damien and Colin Kelly, The Big Dog is well up in the weights, carrying 11 stone five into the biggest race of his career.

The Grand National started to come into the picture after impressive wins in the Munster National and the Troytown Chase.

The Mahler gelding then delivered a placed finish in the Welsh National before coming down while pressing the leaders in the Irish Gold Cup.

The race goes to post in Liverpool, at 5.15.
