Panda Boy could get the ‘grey vote’ to land Easter Monday’s Irish Grand National via IrishTimesSport
The Venetia Williams-trained star was sixth to Galopin Des Champs in last month’s Cheltenham Gold Cup and prior to that was runner-up in the King George at Kempton over Christmas.
Greys are always popular with casual racegoers and there are a handful to choose from in the big race. It is almost three decades since the last grey won the Fairyhouse National, Son Of War in 1994. A lengthy list of big-priced Irish National winners in the last decade is topped by Freewheelin Dylan’s record 150-1 shock two years ago.
The niggle is how he hit the deck in his last start but that looks a blip and otherwise Panda Boy’s claims look to stack up better than most.
