Irish Grand National preview: Willie Mullins aims to land big prize with Nick Rockett

Gavin Cromwell has two strong chances in Yeah Man and Hartur D'arc as he goes in search of a first victory in the BoyleSports Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse (live on RTÉ2/RTÉ Player).

Yeah Man has been campaigned exclusively in England this winter, lining up twice at Ascot, falling when holding every chance at the last in November before finishing a close second in December, and then he gained success in the Grand National Trial at Haydock.

Hartur D’arc has won both his starts for the yard since switching from Tom Gibney, winning a beginners’ chase at Clonmel and stepping up considerably to land the Leinster National at Naas.

"Yeah Man and Hartur D’arc are definitely intended runners. We’re happy with them both and looking forward to the race," said Cromwell, who has no fears about testing ground for either of them.

"I don’t think the trip or ground will be a problem for Yeah Man. He stayed very well on the heavy ground when winning at Haydock the last day, so conditions should suit.

"I’m not so sure about the trip with Hartur D’arc, although he did stay well in the Leinster National. We’ve a good bit further to go in the Irish Grand National, so that’s a little bit of an unknown. But he’s going into the race in good form and if he stays, he’s definitely in with a good chance."
