Gone To Lunch Odds & Grand National Form
Former Point to Pointer who moved on to running up a sequence in Novice Hurdles in late 2007 and then ran well in Grade One and Two Races after Xmas, including when finishing 5th behind Nenuphar Collonges in the Albert Bartlett.
Went over fences last season and had won three out of six of his novice chases before being thrown into handicap company in the Scottish National.
Covered himself with glory there finding only the much improved Hello Bud a half length too good. Then capped his season off with another excellent if frustrating performance when runner-up again in the Champion Novice Chase at Punchestown, this time only Dessie Hughes' Rare Bob stopped him from taking a major prize.
Consequently Gone To Lunch now finds himself on a higher mark over fences than he managed over hurdles. His current handicap mark would have seen him race off a pound less mark than 2008 winner Comply Or Die suggesting that perhaps he will need to drop down the weights slightly if he is to be competitive in a Grand National.
