Sam Winner has been withdrawn from Saturday's Grand National at Aintree and will instead race in the Scottish National at Ayr a week later.
The eight-year-old was pulled up at the Gold Cup and trainer Paul Nicholls decided the horse will not race.
Nicholls still has a number of leading chances for the steeplechase, including Rocky Creek and Unioniste.
Shutthefrontdoor, likely to be ridden by retiring champion jockey AP McCoy in his last National, is 7-1 favourite.
