Alfa Beat set for Irish National Charles Byrnes' Kerry National winner Alfa Beat is likely to bypass Cheltenham in favour of a tilt at the Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse over Easter instead. He added: "We will go for the Irish Grand National. He has been back in training for a month or so and is going nicely; perhaps he will have a run before, though I couldn't say where or when. The ground is key as he prefers it good."
