Power backing Time To Get Up to make Irish National impact The BoyleSports Irish Grand National takes centre stage at Fairyhouse on Monday and Robbie Power is looking forward to trying to win the race for a second time aboard Jonjo O’Neill’s raider Time To Get Up. O’Neill is no stranger to success in the three-mile-five-furlong marathon, having saddled Butler’s Cabin (2007) and Shutthefrontdoor (2014) to claim success on Easter Monday. The €270,000 first prize would be suitable compensation for his latest challenger, who missed out on a place in the Grand National at Aintree as the nine-year-old was not qualified. Power partnered 9-2 favourite Our Duke to an emphatic victory in the 2017 Irish National and the 40-year-old is optimistic that last year’s Midlands Grand National winner can hold his own.Robbie Speaking exclusively via BoyleXtra, where he works as a brand ambassador, Power said;. I'm looking forward to it, he won a Midlands National at Uttoxeter so the trip won't be a problem and it's a lovely spare ride to pick up. "He has an outside chance, the ground won't be an issue for him, so I think he will do OK."
