SEARCH FOR GLORY may have won the Ultima at Cheltenham but for unseating at the last and is taken to gain compensation and provide Gordon Elliott with a second Irish Grand National. The Jukebox Kid and One Big Bang, who was third in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham are strong contenders from Britain. Argento Boy and Joystick are Willie Mullins handicap newcomers who leave the impression they could be suited by long distances, while the progressive Showurappreciation also merits respect.
