Willie Mullins holds many aces within the Irish Grand National, however out of his seven runners, who does he fancy essentially the most?
He instructed ITV Racing: “I’d give Argento Boy a chance. The first day he puts everything together he’ll win this, an Aintree National or a Kerry National. He’s got that ability, but he just makes mistakes at crucial times.
“If you need one for the women, Karia Des Blaises for Anna McGuinness, who claims 7lb. It’s her first run over this journey however she desires a protracted journey like this.”
Argento Boy has been a big drifter since declarations, going from an 8-1 shot to 20-1 since Paul Townend decided to partner Kiss Will instead. Mullins admitted he was surprised by that decision.
He said: “I assumed Paul would possibly go for one thing close to the highest like Argento Boy or C’Est Ta Chance, however he is gone for Kiss Will. Hopefully he is proper.”
