Butlers Cabin Odds & Grand National Form
Butler's Cabin had been campaigned over shorter distances but surprised many by winning the 4 mile NH Chase at the Cheltenham Festival in 2007 and then followed up in the Irish National four weeks later. The Irish National is traditionally a great Aintree trial and he was a very game winner of the Irish race in 2007. He went into the winter as favourite for 08 National but was disappointing in his runs prior to Aintree. He looked to be going really well when coming to grief at Bechers second time round and added to the poor run in this race of Tony McCoy and Jonjo O'Neill. It could be that Butlers Cabin is a Spring horse and reserves his best form for that time of year. He will figure in many peoples shortlist for the 2009 National.
