Irish Grand National News: Robbie Power says it's Time To Get Up

Jonjo O'Neill sends the nine-year-old to Fairyhouse with a solid chance of taking the three miles, five furlong test on Monday, April 18.

"I'm looking forward to it, he won a Midlands National at Uttoxeter so the trip won't be a problem and it's a lovely spare ride to pick up," said Power.

The fact that Time To Get Up didn't go at Aintree is a plus for Power, with various horses trying to go for the Irish National after also running in the English marathon.

"The likes of Enjoy D'allen, Mount Ida and Run Wild Fred were all trained for the English Grand National, it just didn't really happen for them on the day and it's very hard to bounce back, even if like some of them, they exited the race really early at Liverpool.

"He's a novice, he was a dual Grade One-winning hurdler. His form over fences probably hasn't been what connections might have thought it would be at the beginning of the season, but he comes into this in decent form and he's the outstanding novice in the race that might have a bit up his sleeve."

The Irish Grand National takes place at Fairyhouse on Monday, April 18 and starts at 17.00.
