The 2021 Irish Grand National is fast approaching, and one horse that has been making waves in the betting market is Royale Pagaille.

With a string of recent victories under his belt, including a win at the Grade One Ascot Chase, Royale Pagaille is now standing out as one of the top contenders for the Irish Grand National. As the anticipation for this prestigious race builds, many are keeping a watchful eye on this British hopeful and the immense support he has been receiving in the Irish Grand National market.


Today marks the Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse with Royale Pagaille as the only remaining British hope in the race, and continues to garner support from bettors. Despite having to overcome a top weight of 11st 12lb to secure another significant win, Royale Pagaille’s odds have decreased to 11-1 on Sky Bet and 10-1 on Unibet. Although the Blue Bresil gelding has not won a race since his victory in the Peter Marsh at Haydock in 2022, followers believe he has what it takes to win today’s competition, especially after finishing sixth in the Cheltenham Gold Cup last month.

In regards to the Irish Grand National, the Gavin Cromwell-trained Stumptown is currently the favourite in the betting at 8-1 with most firms. In terms of the weather conditions, the ground has been characterised as yielding on the hurdle and bumper course and yielding to soft on the chase course, with dry and breezy weather expected throughout the morning.

Before the main event, there are three Grade 2 competitions to look out for on the Fairyhouse card, including the Donohue Marquees Juvenile Hurdle, which sees Willie Mullins attempt a comeback victory with Blood Destiny.

In other news, George Boughey’s Simply Sondheim has been declared a non-runner for today’s Rosebery Handicap at Kempton despite having seven previous career victories under his belt, including a recent triumph at his course and distance.
