Thedevilscoachman teed himself up for a possible tilt at the Irish Grand National with victory in the Way To Paris @ Coolagown Stud Hugh McMahon Memorial Novice Chase at Limerick.
The JP McManus-owned seven-year-old was bidding for a second successive Grade Three prize for trainer Noel Meade, having been awarded victory by the stewards at Naas in late January after a thrilling tussle with Ramillies.
Denis O’Regan took over in the saddle from the recently retired Bryan Cooper and after stalking recent Gowran Park scorer Grandero Bello into the home straight, 11-8 favourite Thedevilscoachman picked him off on the run-in before pulling two and a half lengths clear.
Paddy Power make the winner their 5-1 favourite from 8-1 for the BoyleSports Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse on Easter Monday, although the Fairyhouse Gold Cup Novice Chase the previous afternoon is a possible alternative.

Today's results on emerald isle remind us of old days not too long ago , especially over timber so many good things used to go in you had a chance ,but it's not been the case last few years terrible results over and over for poor punters ,I hope a few were on these at the two meetings today .
Great name for a horse though .
Jockey in second lucky he held on for second as he stoped riding last 100yards
After that jump 2 nd last it had no rite to win ,but what a horse to end up doing it at hat canter .
13/8 night before was an insult. Class apart from these. Rachel’s horse absolutely flying at the finish. She was riding way off the pace. One to keep an eye out for next time.
Another Blackmore shocker! Come on Henry cut your loses and get rid!

Blackmore’s ride on Life In The Park left me baffled.
