JP McManus' recent acquisition is set to compete in the Brown Advisory and Grand National at Navan on Sunday. Connor King, a former top-class Flat rider, is thrilled to have secured a spot for Oscars Brother in the Randox Grand National. The horse's impressive performance at Punchestown in November, where it won the Grade 2 Florida Pearl Novice Chase, has been a significant boost. Since then, the runner-up Koktail Divin has dominated in a Leopardstown beginners' chase, showcasing the potential of McManus' purchase. King is optimistic about Oscars Brother's prospects in the upcoming William Hill Racing Bet Builder Ten Up Novice Chase, a three-mile race that promises to reveal more about the horse's capabilities. With a 25-1 odds for the Brown Advisory and 12-1 with Paddy Power, King is cautiously optimistic about the horse's potential. Despite being a novice, King has already entered Oscars Brother in the Grand National, a testament to the horse's talent. The race will feature a maximum of six rivals, with Gold Dancer as the primary threat. McManus' stable also includes Honesty Policy, a leading contender for the Stayers' Hurdle, and Dinoblue, a top-rated mare in the BBA Ireland Limited Opera Hat Mares Chase.
