Irish National the target for My Murphy The Irish National at Fairyhouse on Easter Monday is the ultimate target for My Murphy after his fine run in defeat at Navan yesterday. The Liam Burke trained eight-year-old was sent off a 7/2 chance for the Grade 2 Ten Up Novice Chase, and while he stayed on well after the last, he couldn’t match the winner, and he had to settle for second just a half a length behind Foxrock. Burke is now lining up a return to Navan in mid-March for his stable star, before a probable tilt at the Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse in April. Speaking this afternoon, Burke said: “He ran well, we were very happy with his run, but the best horse won on the day. "The plan is to go back to Navan again on March 16th for the Novice Handicap, and then the Irish National after that all being well."
