Butler's Cabin wins Irish Grand National
Butler’s Cabin supplemented his Cheltenham Festival success with a memorable victory in the Powers Whiskey Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse.
The Jonjo O’Neill-trained seven-year-old, a 14-1 chance, travelled supremely well and ghosted into the lead after a clean leap at the final fence.
Tony McCoy’s mount stayed on in resolute fashion to defeat Ferdy Murphy’s Nine De Sivola by a length.
American Jennie was third, while long-term leader Church Island plugged on for fourth spot under Andrew McNamara.
