The 2011 Grand National is just a few weeks away, as forty runners will go to post in this four mile four furlong handicap chase over the Aintree fences. The dust has barely settled on a thrilling Cheltenham Festival, where a number of runners did their National hopes no harm and there have been several moves in the ante-post betting as a result. Perhaps the biggest market mover of the week was Junior, backed into 14/1 from 66/1 following his 24 length win in Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup last Thursday. David Pipe his trainer immediately hailed the eight year old as a future National horse but with thirty odd horses needing to come out of the handicap for him to guarantee a start, he may not make the 2011 line-up. Bookmaker Bet365 however are one of the first firms to go non runner no bet on the Grand National, so you can back Junior now and if he doesn't run you'll get your stake returned. Whatever happens, the horse is definitely one for the notebook for next year should he not run in the 2011 Grand National.
There has only been one horse to win at the Cheltenham Festival and then go on to win the Grand National a few weeks later since 1961, so the trend is most definitely against Junior should he run. However, plenty have used the festival as a last prep race before going on to win the National, just as Don't Push It did in 2010. Last year's National winner pulled up in the Pertemps Final prior to running at Aintree twelve months ago and connections have plotted a similar route this season, fairing better finishing tenth in this year's Pertemps, off a low hurdling handicap mark. He won't have that luxury at Aintree though as he's primed to carry top weight of 11st10lbs. At 14/1 to win back to back Grand Nationals' he's obviously well respected, but the price does seem short considering the hike in weight and the standard of the opposition.
