    Carnage! The fav brought my pick down on the first circuit. Folsom Blue would have won but for that last fence broadside. Must be tough for Gary OBrien to have to carry on presenting on ATR after that. Robbed.

    Such a shame for Bellshill, if he'd jumped the last straight I'm sure he would have won it. Ran an absolute belter, just didn't see it out on the ground.

    Carnage as you say Ste, hope all are OK

    Didn't see the race - was on Bellshill but by the sound of it, the weight got the better of him in the run-in.

    If he d have jumped it straight he would have still been collared just before the finishing line - no way would he have won it!. Out on his feet and demoted to 5th ..

    I'm not a huge fan of Dessie Scahill but I thought he handled the carnage quite well in the Irish National. He's got no fookin chance in this race though the poor bugger. He can have a brew for half the circuit.
