On His Own Odds and Grand National Form 2013
On His Own was part of the consignment of horses leading owner Graham Wylie sent over to Willie Mullins following the retirement of Howard Johnson.
The eight-year-old gelding obviously had impressed in his homework before the Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown and was backed into a very short 7/2 favourite.
The son of Presenting never really fired in that race and was eventually brought down at the second last when well out of contention. A month later he tried again in the 43k Thyestes Chase at Leopardstown and was a revelation, powering his rivals into submission and winning by a comfortable thirteen lengths under David Casey.
The stable's Hedgehunter won that race in 2004 before going on to take the Aintree Grand National in 2005 and winning trainer Mullins said afterwards that he felt On His Own was a real Aintree horse. Winning jockey Casey was equally impressed stating that the horse had put in some fantastic leaps.
Enthusiasm should be tempered though by the horse's lack of experience over fences (the win at Gowran Park was only his sixth outing over the larger obstacles) and also that his one previous attempt at an extreme distance (NH Chase) resulted in him being pulled up. Obviously the horse’s circumstances have changed since then and as a young horse he may stay better as he gets older. Willie Mullins appears to believe the Grand National is the right race for On His Own but perhaps he will be seen to best effect in 2013?
