JP McManus Buys Grand National Hope Of Mullingar Trainer

Enjoy D'Allen is among the favourites for the race.

JP McManus has purchased the stable star of Mullingar trainer Ciaran Murphy. 

Enjoy D'Allen is among the most prominent in the betting for the English Grand National at Aintree at 16/1, having once been as big as 50/1 just two weeks ago. 

The Charlestown Racing star was previously owned by the Railway View Stud Partnership, but will race under the famous green and gold hooped silks of the Limerick mogul in the future. 

The fee of the purchase has remained undisclosed but the 8-year-old will remain in training in Mullingar. 

It could potentially be a significant move for the yard as a whole.

As an owner JP McManus is known for rewarding and being loyal to trainers who have served him well and should Enjoy D'Allen hit the front at the elbow in Liverpool, it could open many doors for Murphy in just his second season with the full licence in Westmeath.
