John Quinn's Character Building will be carrying new colours in the John Smith's Grand National on Saturday after being purchased by David and Patricia Thompson, the owners of Cheveley Park Stud.
The couple have already tasted Aintree glory, having bought Party Politics just days before his 1992 triumph.
Chris Richardson, Cheveley Park Stud's managing director, said: "He's a horse who we expressed an interest in last year but at that time the owner wasn't willing to sell. Mrs Thompson approached John Quinn again this year and thankfully an offer has been accepted, so it's exciting."
He added: "The National is obviously competitive and they've all got a chance, but Character Building is lightly raced and I think John is pleased with him, so it's fingers crossed.
"Mr and Mrs Thompson obviously won the race with Party Politics soon after buying him in an election year and it is certainly an interesting coincidence."
