Returned a career-best performance when taking the recent Cotswold Chase at Cheltenham
Introduction
Spillane’s Tower will be looking to bring up a long-range Grand National double for trainer Jimmy Mangan who won the race twenty-three years ago with Monty’s Pass.
Trainer Mangan has shown he can still train a good horse, steering this son of Walk In The Park to six victories, including two big wins at Grade One level. The biggest of those wins was probably the Champion Novice Chase at Punchestown two seasons ago where Spillane’s Tower just won out in a tight finish from Monty’s Star.
The eight-year-old gelding had looked to go off the rails slightly over the last year with two defeats over hurdles but bounced back to form when taking the Cotswold Chase at the January Cheltenham meeting. That victory sent him on a path to the Cheltenham Gold Cup but he was an eleventh hour non-runner due to the firmness of the ground.
It would seem that Spillane’s Tower is being lined up to be a member of the JP McManus battalion in the Aintree Grand National as he has not been entered in the Irish equivalent at Fairyhouse.
Punters will need to keep an eye on the weather if Spillane’s Tower tower is their selection as he would probably need ground nearer soft to actually run in the race.
