I'd say that was a career best and he's going to the National in a good frame of mind. Five runners here against 40 in the National is chalk and cheese but he's going there in good shape and whatever happens happens. He won a similar race to this last year at Naas the same way and he's a smart horse. He won his maiden hurdle around here, won a Grade 2 at Punchestown over hurdles and won the Kim Muir. He's a fair horse. T M Walsh, trainer

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Daly Tiger (FR), trained by Noel Meade, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to have mud on both nostrils post race

The Stewards requested a report from T.M. Walsh, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Any Second Now, placed first, as compared with its recent run at Gowran Park on 28th January 2021. T.M. Walsh reported that his charge never travelled in the large field of runners in the Thyestes Steeplechase at Gowran Park whereas today he travelled very well in a small field of runners. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the content of the report.
