Westmeath Trainer Excited Ahead Grand National Runner

Friday, 8 April 2022 13:52

Enjoy D'Allen is among the fancied runners for the storied race.

Westmeath handler Ciaran Murphy saddles Enjoy D'Allen in the World's most famous steeplechase tomorrow. 

The JP McManus owned 8-year-old is currently a 14/1 shot for the Grand National at Aintree.

It'll be his first runner in the race as a trainer. 

Enjoy D’Allen was third in last years Irish Grand National, and Murphy’s been explaining a run in Liverpool has been the target ever since:

Probably on the build up the the Irish National he was showing signs that he stayed really well, loved the tests and jumped extremely well.

So I suppose in the build up to that we started thinking that way and then his run in that, he was staying on very well in that and we just thought that was an indicator that he would enjoy this sort of trip and race.
