Curragh Ground changed to Soft

BOYLE Sports has reported a surge of support behind champion trainer Willie Mullins to land a remarkable Irish and English Grand National double next week, with punters latching onto his powerful hand across both showpiece events.

Henry de Bromhead has yet to add the Irish Grand National to his wonderful tally of big-race winners and relies solely on Waterford Whispers in tomorrow's 500,000 Euro centrepiece at Fairyhouse.

Ground conditions were tough at both Fairyhouse and Cork yesterday and the action continues at both venues this afternoon.
