Ruby Walsh tipped for third National win

My Will remains favourite ahead of tomorrow's Grand National, with jockey Ruby Walsh aiming for his third victory at Aintree.Online bookmakers currently have the Paul Nicholls-trained horse at 7/1, although Stan James offers punters odds of 8/1.The same price is widely available for Butlers Cabin, after Tony McCoy announced that he will once again partner the mount.He will be bidding for a first National win on his 14th attempt and had the choice of four horses from JP McManus' stable.McCoy and Butlers Cabin suffered a fall in last year's race but are fancied to do well tomorrow, with Ladbrokes offering the best odds of 9/1. Meanwhile, William Hill has suggested that a win for My Will would cost them millions, with half of punters thought to choose their Grand National runner based on name alone."It could be carnage for the bookies if My Will prevails," said spokesperson Kate Miller, adding: "Everyone out there knows someone with the name Will, it could be our worst Grand National result in the last decade."
