What to use your Novibet no deposit free bet on this weekend

The Fairyhouse Easter Festival is naturally the big event this weekend, beginning on Saturday and running until Monday, culminating in the Irish Grand National.

On day one, the BoyleSports Mares Handicap chase and the RYBO Handicap Hurdle are the big races.

The action heats up on day two, when there are two Grade 1 races, including the WillowWarm Gold Cup. Impaire Et Passe, Ballyburn and Lecky Watson may appear in the WillowWarm Gold Cup which has been won by Cheltenham Gold Cup winners previously.

The Irish Grand National is the crowning moment of the three days of racing and you can find our editor Vincent Finegan’s 1-2-3-4 for the big race below.

Vincent Finegan’s Irish Grand National Tips

1. Panda Boy

Panda Boy could supply trainer Martin Brassil with a second win in the Irish Grand National. This horse excels in big field handicaps and was fifth in this race two years ago when just over seven lengths behind the winner I Am Maximus. The better the ground, the better his chance.

2. Johnnywho

Novice chasers have a very good record in this race and Jonjo O'Neill's British raider certainly fits that bill. His recent staying on second place finish in the Kim Muir Chase at Cheltenham was a fine preparation for a shot at this longer distance test.

3. Any Second Now

Any Second Now is getting on in years, but might still be able to make the frame this year. He was an excellent second to Intense Raffles twelve months ago and has also placed twice in Aintree Grand Nationals in the recent past. He showed enough at Naas last month to suggest he retains plenty of enthusiasm for the game and Ted Walsh is certain to have him in peak condition here.

4. Bioluminescence

This JP McManus-owned novice chaser has kept good company in graded contests this season and there is a suspicion that this race has been the target for some time. Her initial handicap rating of 145 looks workable and it will be no surprise to see her run well.
