Hello Bud Odds and Grand National Form
Ended the 2008 season with three wins out of four for David Wintle but moved on to Nigel Twiston-Davies for 08/09 who amazingly managed to improve the horse a further 30lb.
Hello Bud won an ordinary handicap chase on his debut for the Twiston-Davies yard off a mark of 111. After a further three wins that season culminated in a tremendous all the way victory in the Scottish National.
Stamina is assured with victories recorded already over 31f, 32f and 33f. He also seems versatile in terms of ground with wins coming on ground ranging from Good to Firm to Heavy.
Hello Bud will have to overcome the stats if he is to win the Grand National as it is quite a few years since a Scottish National winner was successful at Aintree with only two horses having done this double in the last twenty-five years (Little Polveir and Earth Summit).
Hello Bud put up a great performance to finish fifth in the 2010 Grand National and is a popular choice for this year's race, particularly after his success in this season's Becher Chase.
However he is thirteen-years-old now and no 13yo has won the Grand National since Sergeant Murphy in 1923. Only three horses aged thirteen or over have won the Grand National since its inception in 1839 so the stats don't favour Hello Bud but with only just over 30 races in his career he could still have plenty of racing left in him and he certainly still looked a top quality performer in the Becher Chase.
