FormscanBy Michael Graham - This marathon trip is going to take plenty of getting on deteriorating ground. Bellshill isn't proven over three miles five but wasn't stopping when successful in a Grade Three over three miles one here in February. He has plenty of class being a Grade One winner over hurdles and Grade-One placed over fences. His win rate of nine from 17 is impressive and you can see why the bookmakers are very wary in pricing him at 8/1. He does have 11st 5lbs, though, and the stats are against him with 14 of the last 15 winners carrying 10st 13lbs or less. MONBEG NOTORIOUS is on a four timer after wins at Punchestown, Gowran Park and Navan. Gordon Elliott has often been quoted as saying he's a big galloper. This ground will suit him well and he looks a thorough stayer who should appreciate stepping up beyond the extended three miles one that he encountered in Punchestown. He's had a nice break since winning at Navan in February. He is one of 13 horses that Elliott runs in his bid to win the showpiece for the first time. Another is Dounikos who took a lot of credit from finishing a close fourth in the Grade One novice chase at Leopardstown in February. The second home, Al Boum Photo, franked the form in Grade One company on Sunday. Dounikos has a bit to prove now, though, after being pulled up in his last outing in the Grade One RSA at Cheltenham. Folsom Blue also goes for Elliott and he was a good winner of the National Trial at Punchestown in February. That was a very likeable performance and he has a solid chance, however, he is 11 now and 12 of the last 15 winners have been aged nine or younger. He may find one or two too good. Isleofhopendreams who was second to Folsom Blue in Punchestown could go well on this ground with a light weight on his back. Bellshill's stablemate Pairofbrowneyes looks a major threat. He was a good winner of the Leinster National on his first run for Willie Mullins. That came on heavy ground in Gowran Park and he galloped through it powerfully. Glencairn View, who was third, has since won well in Navan while sixth-placed Poormans Hill came out and won the Ulster National in Downpatrick Sunday week ago. Pairofbrowneyes has a lovely racing weight of 10-7. Mall Dini was fourth behind Presenting Percy over this trip in the Porterstown. He travelled well, in first-time blinkers, when last seen finishing second in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham. The blinkers are retained on Pat Kelly's charge who has a good chance. The evergreen Bless The Wings has been runner-up in the last two Irish Grand Nationals. He knows what is involved in this massive field and there are much worse each-way bets at 25/1.
