Ulster Grand National attracts maximum field Tomorrow's Toals Bookmakers Ulster Grand National at Downpatrick sees 15 runners and one reserve declared. Selection Box, an early faller in the contest 12 months ago, heads the weights. George Stewart has booked John Cullen to partner the veteran course specialist News Item. News Item recorded back-to-back wins in the race in 2006 and 2007, but has failed to trouble the judge in the last two renewals. Jessica Harrington's Hume River is likely to be sent off favourite on the back of his recent good showing when second to Inoma James in the Punchestown Grand National Trial. Six of tomorrow's opposition were behind him in that contest.
