Three Card Brag Odds and Grand National Form 2026

Introduction

Three Card Brag has generally been in great form this season with the highlights being an excellent win in an ultra-competitive 52k handicap at Cheltenham in October as well as finishing runner-up in the Kerry National and Coral Gold Cup.

The outlier in his performances this season was his effort last time out in the Bobbyjo at Fairyhouse where he was sent off the 3/1 favourite but finished a disappointing seventh, fifty-nine lengths behind winner Grangeclare West. Perhaps the heavy ground that day was not to his liking but it is a worry going into a big race like the Grand National off the back of a poor last-time effort.

The nine-year-old gelding ran in the Grand National last year and showed up really well for a long way, attacking the fences with apparent relish, but eventually weakening from three out to finish forty-five lengths behind Nick Rockett. At first glance it appeared that perhaps Three Card Brag did not stay the four-miles plus and trainer Gordon Elliott has said he will be ridden with more restraint this year.

Doubts about stamina and how he has come out of his last disappointing run might be enough to temper enthusiasm for most punters looking for a Grand National bet.
