Randox Grand National contender Enjoy D'Allen has been snapped up by JP McManus ahead of the big race on April 9.
McManus is looking for back to back wins for the green and gold silks after taking the big one at Aintree in 2021 with the Henry De, Bromhead trained Minella Times, ridden by Rachael Blackmore.
The eight-year-old was a solid third to big-priced winner Freewheelin Dylan in last season's Irish National and has run well in big handicaps this term.
Enjoy D'Allen, trained by Ciaran Murphy, placed third to School Boy Hours in the Paddy Power Chase at Christmas and ran a resonable fifth behind Good Time Jonny at the Dublin Racing Festival in Leopardstown
"It's huge for us that we could recommend a horse of this calibre to Mr McManus and that he will stay in training here at Charlestown," said Murphy.
"He's in good order after his latest run over hurdles at Leopardstown and the plan is to keep him fresh and go straight to Aintree.
"He ran a cracker in the Paddy Power at Christmas and it's now all about getting him to Aintree in good form."
Leading Irish owner McManus has won the Grand National twice with Don't Push it in 2010 and 2021 with Minella Times.
Enjoy D'Allen is as low as 12-1 for the Aintree spectacular and heads the betting with Escaria Ten, Snow Leopardess and Any Second Now.
