AGUSTA Gold has moved from Mags Mullins to Willie Mullins and is being aimed at the €400,000 BoyleSports Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse on Easter Monday, April 5th.

The eight-year-old mare won five races for Mags Mullins and has now been sold to Dr Peter Fitzgerald, head of Randox Laboratories.

Willie Mullins said: “We just bought her lately. She won a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse in January and the way she jumped around the track that day, she is one I would have to give a good chance to.”

Of the other 15 entries made by Mullins for the Irish Grand National, possible runners at Fairyhouse include Brahma Bull, Cabaret Queen, Saturnas, Dragon D’Estruval, Koshari, Robin De Carlow, Robin Des Foret, Blazer, Harrie, Lord Royal and Bellow Mome. The trainer confirmed that Burrows Saint and Acapella Bourgeois are more likely to run at Aintree.

A total of 98 entries were made for the three-mile, five-furlong handicap chase, and the weights will be published on Monday week, March 22nd.

Denise Foster has made 22 entries, easily the most of any trainer. Her possibles include Tiger Roll, The Storyteller, Coko Beach, Conflated, the race’s 2018 winner General Principle, Pencilfulloflead and the 14-year-old Kruzhlinin, a winner for owner Camilla Sharples at Navan last Saturday.

Home By The Lee, A Wave Of The Sea and Sempo are among Joseph O’Brien’s nine entries, while Noel Meade’s squad of seven includes Snow Falcon, Tout Est Permis and Brace Yourself. Meade won the race with the Ross Geraghty-ridden The Bunny Boiler in 2002.

Henry de Bromhead has put five in the race, the quintet headed by the Cheltenham Festival winner Balko Des Flos and Minella Times. Runner-up to Tiger Roll in the Grand National at Aintree in 2019, Magic Of Light is one of three entries for Jessica Harrington who won the race with Our Duke in 2017.

Another with three entries is Paul Nolan who could call upon leading novice chaser Latest Exhibition. Moyhenna is the highest-rated of Denis Hogan’s trio while Tom Mullins has also entered three horses, with his dual course winner and Porterstown Handicap Chase heroine Court Maid leading the way.

Galvin is there for his new trainer Ian Ferguson; The Long Mile is one of two in the race for Philip Dempsey, while Martin Brassil has entered Longhouse Poet and Robbie McNally has entered The Jam Man.

Four entries have been received from three British-based trainers. Philip Hobbs has entered Jerrysback and Musical Slave, both owned by J.P. McManus, Ian Williams has Red Infantry and Jonjo O’Neill has entered Time To Get Up, another in the colours of J.P. McManus.
