McCoy on Cabin in National Tony McCoy has plumped for Butler´s Cabin in an attempt to break his John Smith´s Grand National hoodoo. The 12-times champion jockey, who has finished third in the race three times, had the choice of four JP McManus-owned entries. However, he has stayed loyal to the Jonjo O´Neill-trained Butler´s Cabin, on whom he won the Irish Grand National last season. It is understood though that if conditions turned heavy, McCoy could switch to the Arthur Moore-trained King Johns Castle. Mick Fitzgerald will ride Francois Doumen´s L´Ami while riding plans for Bob Hall have yet to be finalised.
