Ballyfitz Odds and Grand National Form
Started his career with Nigel Twiston-Davies with two wins in Novice Hurdles in 2005 and was booked in to go over fences the following season. Unfortunately things went badly wrong on his chasing debut that year and it was decided to revert to hurdles as his jumping of the larger obstacles had left much to be desired in his first outing over fences at Cheltenham. This turned out to be a good decision as Ballyfitz went on to win three more hurdle races before returning to fencing including the big prize of the Pertemps Hurdle final at the Cheltenham Festival in 2008.
The following season he started off with two wins in Novice Chases and it looked as if he was destined for top honours but unfortunately his jumping problems returned and three further outings produced no more wins.
The 09/10 season has seen him well fancied for the Paddy Power and the Hennessy but an encouraging fourth in the former led to more jumping problems in the latter.
Twiston-Davies sent him back over hurdles again for a confidence boost and this seemed to do the trick as he ran out a good winner of a decent handicap hurdle at Sandown but again jumped stickily when put back over fences in the Welsh National.
Given his history of jumping errors it would take a big leap of faith to have confidence in him navigating his way round Aintree.
