Related Articles See all Grand National news Share it Pin It Notre Pere looks set to miss the 2011 Ladbrokes Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse on Easter Monday.The 10-year-old requires plenty of cut in the ground and is highly unlikely to get those desired conditions.Trainer Barry Potts is now looking to the Punchestown Guinness Gold Cup which the horse won on heavy ground in 2009 when he was with Jim Dreaper, as long as conditions improve."It looks highly unlikely that he'll run on Monday," said the County Tyrone handler."There is the Punchestown Gold Cup but we'll play it by ear with him as it's not looking good at the moment. It's one of the driest springs I've seen in a while."We won't abuse him on quick ground and if we look after him we'll have him for next year."We'll look at staying chases next season - the likes of the Welsh Grand National (a race he won in 2008)."Notre Pere is now a 33/1 shot to win the Guiness Gold Cup with bet365.Another trainer with severe reservations about the Fairyhouse going is Mervyn Torrens, who has warned he will not risk Hughies Grey (16/1 to win the Irish National) if the going is on the firm side.The Omagh trainer may assess conditions for himself before deciding whether to run his progressive novice."I would love to run him but I'm just scared of the ground. If there is anything fast about the ground he won't run," said Torrens."He has won on heavy ground and while it wasn't too bad at Navan last time they weren't getting anything like the weather then that we are now. The sun is beaming down."Don't forget, all of the fantastic markets we have to offer, including In-Play betting, can be accessed on your mobile phone with the new and improved Mobile at bet365.
