FormscanBy Michael Graham - GORAIBHMAITHAGAT appeals after being pipped by a head in the Leinster National at Naas. He is nicely weighted, has Harry Cobden's assistance, and his full-brother won over a marathon trip in last year's Killarney National. First-time blinkers saw Monbeg Genius stay on for third in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham and he's on the 'sweet spot' weight of 10st 13lb (21 of the last 25 winners carried 10st 13lb or less). Rob James steered Better Days Ahead to sixth in this blue-riband contest last year and the Milan gelding has had two lovely preparation runs at Navan. Leopardstown-winner O'Toole is one that could go well at a bigger price, while Ulster National hero Born Braver sneaks in and could get involved if recovered from recent Downpatrick exertions. Showurappreciation is in rude health in his quest for a four-timer and he hasn't reached the ceiling of his ability.
