Mullins Thinking Big With Harbour Recent Naas novice chase winner Chelsea Harbour could find himself taking on more experienced rivals in the Powers Whisky Irish Grand National at the end of the season.The Tom Mullins-trained seven-year-old won a Grade Two event on his first try at three miles over fences, putting a useful field to the sword by five and a half lengths.'It was a bit of a surprise that he won so well. If he had just won then fair enough, but the way he won was a bit of a surprise,' said Mullins'He's come out his race extremely well and I suppose he will be heading for Aintree or even Cheltenham.'He's an out and out stayer, but he's gone up 26lb for his last two wins so that rules out handicaps unless he ran in one at Cheltenham or Aintree, but he has an entry in the SunAlliance as well. He needs a trip, though.'I think he'll go on any ground, he's was just touched off on good to firm at Punchestown last year, but it was very heavy at Naas the other day.'He is just about the right age for a chaser now and the first time he got three miles he showed us how good he was.'I hope he is an Irish National horse and we might even look at it this year as he will be at the right end of the handicap, he's only going to go up the ratings in time.'(C) PA Sport
