Saddlers Storm Betting

Saddlers Storm, the AJ Martin trained 8 year old, heads the betting at a best price of 13/2 with Paddy Power. This horse was a late bloomer and has had a very short career with just the 8 races but demands much respect coming off the back of a hat-trick of wins in some very decent company. All 3 wins have taken place in 2010 and 2 of them have been around this Fairyhouse track. In each of the 3 cases the ground has been soft or heavy. The only really question mark over Saddler’s Storm is who the jockey will be. Davy Russell rode him in his last outing and Ruby Walsh was onboard for the previous 2 victories at Fairyhouse. Walsh is expected to ride Equus Maximus for Willie Mullins while Russell will be onboard the top weight Siegemaster.

Each Way Betting Tips for the Irish Grand National

With conditions as they are I think that Alpha Ridge, Ballytrim, Oscar Time and Hangover all have very limited appeal but Barry Geraghty’s Charge is available at an excellent 16/1 for each-way backers. This will be Geraghty’s first time onboard the 7 year old P Nolan mare but the odds look generous nonetheless. The heavier the ground the better this consistent performer will run. With 9 wins from 37 races and a recent excellent run at Fairyhouse in February when she won the Dunshaughlin Chase suggest that this horse is one to watch as the rain continues to pour.
