Tiger Roll won the 2019 Randox Health Grand National at Aintree, becoming the first back-to-back winner since Red Rum.
1800: 2020 VISION
Sky Bet have just announced they're going Non Runner No Bet on next year's Grand National from now. Which means you can bet in the knowledge that money will be returned if your selection doesn't line up in 12 months' time.
And you won't be shocked to know that Tiger Roll is favourite to make it three on the spin, with 8/1 the initial price for Gordon Elliott's superstar.
There are a bunch of 25/1 chances behind him in the betting and you see check out the full list right here.
1750: ROLL REACTION
Winning owner Michael O'Leary said: "It's unbelievable. It's a phenomenal training performance by Gordon. It's brilliant that he keeps bringing this horse back at Cheltenham better than ever and Aintree better than ever.
"And what a ride by Davy - fantastic. It's unbelievable, to win two Grand Nationals is just incredible.
"It's a great result for the punters as well."
This is never, ever nice to report but we echo ITV Racing's comments regarding Up For Review who sadly lost in life having been brought down in an incident at the first.
General Principle received treatment for a minor skin cut back at the stables but there are no further concerns, while all 40 jockeys returned unscathed.
1734: TIGER FEAT
Just sensational stuff at Aintree as finally a horse emulates the legendary Red Rum with two wins in succession!
And it really was made to look very easy. Coolness personified, Davy Russell just popped him around in behind the leaders before taking it up at the last and almost coasting home. There was no repeat of the heart-stopping final few yards last year.
Aintree has erupted!
TIGER ROLL WINS AGAIN!
RESULT: 5.15 Aintree – Randox Health Grand National
1st Tiger Roll (4/1)
2nd Magic Of Light (66/1)
3rd Rathvinden (8/1)
4th Walk In The Mill (25/1)
5th Anibale Fly (10/1)
6th One For Arthur

1712: PARADING
Lots to take in for these horses in the Grand National parade - people and trumpets, mainly. But it's a fantastic final ritual before the big race and all I can do now is wish you all the very best of luck and thank you for following our coverage.
Tiger Roll will be your favourite for 2019 and he's a solid 4/1 shot on course to become the first back to back winner since Red Rum.
1704: TIMBER!
Here we go, there are currently no 100/1 shots in the Grand National market. If you're not on yet, I'm afraid to report you've missed anything in the way of value this year.
1700: HISTORY MAKING
Gordon Elliott speaking to Lydia Hislop on RTV earlier today said that it was an ambition of his to have 11 runners in the Grand National.
"I knew Martin Pipe had 10 runners once so I always wanted to have 11 to say I've bettered him at something."
It's almost like he enjoys breaking new ground, this Elliott fella...
1655: WHAT A CRACKER
Daryl Jacob reacts to Kildisart's win in the three mile handicap chase: "I thought he might have been high enough in the handicap, but he is an improving horse.
"He has probably improved a bit from Cheltenham. We've always thought he wanted that sort of trip (three miles and a furlong)."
1652: POLY GONE?
They all have a chance of sorts... but Don Poli's form this season has left plenty to be desired.
1645: LATE MONEY
No surprise to see Anibale Fly proving very popular ahead of the National while the other late movers - and don't forget most of them will start to shorten from now until 5.15. - are Pleasant Compant, Joe Farrell and Livelovelaugh. At masses prices, last year's third Bless The Wings is 50/1 from 100/1.
1635: FINAL CALL
Surely you're already on... but if not there's still time for one last random National selection.
1630: CREAM RISES
Class comes to the fore in the stayers' handicap chase with top weight Kildisart winning well under Daryl Jacob from next in the weights, Mister Malarky. Fourth in the JLT Novices' Chase at Cheltenham, he's seen it out really well and justifies the decision not to run in the Grade One earlier in the week.
RESULT: 4.20 Aintree – Betway Handicap Chase
1st Kildisart (8/1)
2nd Mister Malarky
3rd Oldgrangewood
4th Gold Opera
1600: HERE'S WHAT YOU COULD HAVE WON
Thoughts with recently-retired Noel Fehily who has ridden If The Cap Fits for most of the horse's career.
One man's loss is another man's gain, though and Sean Bowen looks to have really clicked with Harry Fry over the past couple of weeks. You sense these young guns are a pairing really going places.
Bowen, who rides National outsider Monbeg Notorious, was claiming a first top-class success.
1554: EPIC STUFF
A truly brilliant race for the Stayers Hurdle with If The Cap Fits loving every step of the new three mile trip. He's looked a work in progress for a while but he was the one who still had improvement in him you felt and Sean Bowen has mustered every ounce of ability from the horse.
Apple's Jade was terrific in fairness, just throwing it away with a several jumps out to the right, especially late on, while Mares' Hurdle winner Roksana has done the Skelton's proud and looked booked for victory until the winner's final lunge in the shadow of the post.
RESULT: 3.40 Aintree – Ryanair Stayers Hurdle
1st If The Cap Fits (7/1)
2nd Roksana
3rd Apple's Jade
1528: HOW DO YOU LIKE DEM APPLES
Apple's Jade, the 5/4 favourite ahead of the Ryanair Stayers Hurdle due off at 3.40, very much fits the redemption mould as she was bitterly disappointing in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham. She's back up in trip here and sets a very warm standard on the pick of her form, especially getting the 7lb mares' allowance.
No Paisley Park unfortunately here but West Approach has been second to him a couple of times this season and it wouldn't be a shock to see him run a huge race for the Tizzards.
If The Cap Fits has cheekpieces and three miles for the first time and both may help him focus but William Henry also steps up in trip and the Coral Cup winner still looks a fair price to me. He's Ben Linfoot's idea of the winner and despite the Value Bet price of 14/1 a thing of the distance past I'd still be happy to recommend him at 9s.
1518: PLACE OF REDEMPTION
Bit of a running theme this week with horses who failed to figure for whatever reason at Cheltenham bouncing back at Aintree. We had Min hitting back in style, Felix Desjy, Kalashnikov and now Ornua, the horse that brought Kalashnikov down in the Arkle, winning the Maghull.
As far as the National itself goes, there's Valtor (pulled up), Minella Rocco (pulled up) and Up For Review (eighth after bad blunder) who figure quite prominently when it comes to potential bounce-back victories in the big one.
1512: CHASING BECKONS
More reaction now and Olly Murphy on Brewin'upastorm following his second to Reserve Tank in the novices' hurdle: "Of course you are a little disappointed he didn't win but he's done us proud and has some big days to look forward to. One thing he won't do doing though is going any further than two and a half miles.
"He's going to be a gorgeous horse to go chasing with next season."
1511: HDB
Henry De Bromhead, reacting to Ornua's victory in the Maghull, said: "It was brilliant for the horse and Davy game him a brilliant ride. He got him jumping great.
"I'm delighted to get it for John Phelan (part-owner), who is a great supporter of ours and it was lovely to get a Grade One winner here. He is a very good horse and he has done really well over fences. You saw his run at Sandown and even at Roscommon he beat Cadmium, so the form is strong.
"He is a real good horse and was probably just unlucky in the Arkle. It looks like it could be his track now. You won't be able to keep us away! We will have a look at Punchestown and the two-mile novice chase there. He deserves a crack at it and hasn't been busy."
1510: BINGO!
RESULT: 3.00 Aintree – Doom Bar Maghull Novices’ Chase
1st Ornua (3/1 joint-fav)
2nd Us And Them
1452: ROOM WITH A VIEW
If you're keen on Lake View Lad, and why wouldn't you be, then this is a nice little feature.
The horse has already won two major handicap chases in the north (Rowland Meyrick and Rehearsal) and he put up a very encouraging performance when third in the Ultima at Cheltenham.
Everything about him screams stayer and he jumps with efficiency which is absolutely key here. It's hard to argue he still has 10lb in hand running off a mark of 155 but I'm not overly concerned about that.
Sky Bet's Michael Shinners reports One For Arthur to be the firm's biggest loser in the National, while he's also just spotted JP McManus going along the rails backing Anibale Fly each-way.

1448: WELCOME ONE AND ALL...
1440: TIZZ MARVELLOUS
Colin Tizzard had a fine time of things at this meeting last year and he's enjoying another good week with a second Grade One winner following Lostintranslation's impressive Milmay Novices' Chase success.
Reserve Tank has been brought along steadily and, in fairness, Aintree was mentioned as the target after he won narrowly at Kempton last time.
It now sounds like Punchestown is the plan where a potential step up in trip may be in the offing.
RESULT: 2.25 Aintree – Betway Mersey Novices’ Hurdle
1st Reserve Tank (20/1)
2nd Brewin'upastorm
3rd DEAD-HEAT: Angels Breath & One For Rosie
1415: BREATH OF FRESH AIR
Interesting to see what we get from Angels Breath today. He didn't really handle the Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Hurdle but the Henderson team remain convinced he's a top-class prospect. He's switched up in trip this afternoon and faces a very strong rival in Brewin'upastorm whose Ballymore form, and Challow form for that matter, was boosted by Champ here yesterday.
The Big Bite has drifted a lot but I'd give him a squeak here on ground he'll enjoy. Flat track should suit too.
1405: ONE-TWO
Dan Skelton, who also saddled the runner-up in the first race, has plenty more interesting bullets to fire today including his Cheltenham Festival heroine Roksana, who goes back up to three miles in the Stayers Hurdle today.
She was second to Santini over the same trip at this meeting 12 months ago and has to be of interest despite being more than a shade fortunate in the Mares' Hurdle last month.
1400: EMAIL
Thanks to Mark Blackwell for getting in touch.
"Good afternoon Matt. My selection for the big race today is:
1st Lake View Lad (carrying my money!)
2nd Tiger Roll (if he gets round he may be the new National hero...)
3rd Joe Farrell (consistent and has never fallen...)
Have a great day. Never been, will get there one day! Regards."
Kind words, have a great day yourself. Mine just got off reasonably having backed Burbank each-way, but there is work to be done to salvage some of yesterday's losses.
1355: NEVER IN DOUBT
We're under way on Grand National day and it's first blood to Dan and Harry Skelton with Aux Ptits Soins absolutely dotting up at 11/1. He could be spotted travelling smoothly from a lot way out and despite a bundled jump at the final flight, he galloped on to win comfortably.
RESULT: 1.45 Aintree – Gaskells Handicap Hurdle
1st Aux Ptits Soins (11/1)
2nd Tommy Rapper
3rd Keeper Hill
4th Burbank
5th Theclockisticking
6th Canyon City
1330: HORSES FOR COURSE
The old adage. Two more to consider for the Grand National are course specialists Vieux Lion Rouge and Ultragold.
VLR has his seventh run over the National fences today (not all in this specific race) and he's successfully jumped all 152 fences thus far.
As for Ultragold, he's up in trip but he's won the past two Tophams and could be ludicrously overpriced around 66/1 IF he's able to see out the four and a quarter miles.
1322: STEADY FRONT RANK
It's a lovely looking unit the National trophy. Wonder if anyone can wrestle it from the clutches of Gordon Elliott later today... Amazing that he has eleven horses in this great race. And that's whittled down from an initial 13 after Don Poli and Outlander were sold at the Thursday sale.
1300: ROCCO TO ROCK?
Moving on swiftly.
Minella Rocco is a horse I've loved for a long time and I'm reliably informed by my new best friend Chris Hughes that Jonjo O'Neill's horse is right at the top of his game. 'Hughsie' says Jonjo is very happy with him but he fears the ground being on the easy side of good isn't ideal for him.
Wonder who these lads are backing today... don't think it's Minella Rocco anyway.
1250: GRAVE MATTERS
It's ok, not bad news. It's Red Rum's grave. So I suppose it was bad news... you know, at the time.
I'll stop digging. Oh no, it's getting worse.
1210: MORE THAN ONE RACE
There are, of course, six other races on today's Aintree card and we kick off at 1.45. I like Burbank here and the money for him looks a positive. He's been snapped up by Trevor Hemmings and you'd have to think that they may just have been working back from this meeting ever since the purchase went through.
He's well handicapped on his old form and I felt he ran better than the bare form in the Coral Cup.
The Coral Cup winner William Henry bids to 'do a Whisper' and follow up as he moves up in distance over three miles today, while Angels Breath wasn't brilliant in the Sky Bet Supreme but he's clearly a horse with a big future and he, too, is stepping up in trip for the novices' hurdle.
In short, it could be a very good day for the Henderson team.
Here's Mike Cattermole's take on events...
1206: TITLE TALK
One potential story that hasn't had a mention is Nicky Henderson winning his first ever National with Valtor... a win that would be enough to see him close the gap and edge ahead of runaway Paul Nicholls in the race to be champion trainer.
It couldn't happen, could it?
"Well that's blown Paul out of the water..."
1204: EMAIL
John says: "Morning, my first three for the big one:
Tiger Roll
Vintage Clouds
Lake View Lad
I didn’t think any horse could emulate Red Rum, but Tiger Roll has been immense this season. I look forward to the roar as he passes the winning line. Good luck to all having a flutter, and let’s hope all runners and riders come back safe and sound."
Hear, hear, John. That's a solid-looking tricast, if ever there was one.

1138: EMAIL
Scott has kindly been in touch and he writes: "Today we will see history in the making when Rachel Blackmore becomes the first female to win the Grand National. It really could happen, couldn't it? Following on from Bryony Frost's success at Cheltenham it could be a year for the ladies. Or am I talking rubbish? I hope it happens. It would be great for the sport.
My 1,2,3: Valseur Lido, Vintage Clouds, Ramses De Teilee
Lump on."
Best of luck Scott, I'm a massive fan of Rachael Blackmore and she could be just be the one to do it one day. But she's got a job on her hands riding Valseur Lido today. He's well handicapped, sure, but I'm far from convinced he wants this kind of stamina test.
1135: TIGER FEAT
Donn McClean's favourite Grand National memory is Red Rum winning it for a third time in 1977. And why wouldn't it be?
If Tiger Roll achieves back to back wins later today then the inevitable talk, presumably, will be about him potentially matching Rummie. And he is only nine.
Win, lose or draw today, Tiger Roll's legacy is set. He's a four-time Cheltenham Festival winner and an Aintree hero already.
But ever there was a horse (and trainer) who could re-write the record books then perhaps it will be this remarkable little horse. Wonder if there's a few Tiger Roll/Tiger Woods (Masters) doubles floating about. I suspect there might be.

1120: LET'S GET QUIZZICAL
Think you know the National? I got one wrong... and I helped compile it.
1111: SUN'S OUT
Richard Johnson has skipped the last two Grand Nationals but he's back in the fold today on Rock The Kasbah and he's a horse I've always had a lot of time for. Not entirely convinced that four and a quarter miles will be his bag, but for half a million quid you can see why they're rolling the dice.
1108: JOCKEY CHANGES
Mark Walsh has been confirmed as the rider of Anibale Fly in the National. Walsh takes over on the Gold Cup runner-up after intended rider Barry Geraghty suffered a broken leg in a fall from Peregrine Run in the Topham Chase over the famous fences yesterday.
Walsh had been due to ride fellow JP McManus-owned runner Regal Encore, with that mount now going to Jonathan Burke.
More late drama for poor old Regal Encore, who was withdrawn at the 11th hour last year.
1000: AHEAD OF THE HANDICAPPER
Being an early closing race, the Grand National is a race in which more often than not you get horses officially ahead of the handicapper. This simply means that they have run (well) since the weights were allotted for this race back in February and if the BHA assessors had another chance, or this were a 'normal' handicap chase then they'd rate them a bit differently.
There are, of course, plenty who have run less well since the weights were published and are officially 'wrong' on today's terms, but from a positive perspective it's best to focus on those who have something in hand. And they are...
- Lake View Lad (3)
- Dounikos (2)
- Rathvinden (5)
- Jury Duty (1)
- Noble Endeavor (1)
- Monbeg Notorious (1)
- Ramses De Teillee (5)
- Vintage Clouds (5)
- Captain Redbeard (1)
- Bless The Wings (6)
- Joe Farrell (3)
0950: MUSICAL INTERLUDE

0930: WALKING THE COURSE
I wouldn't mind walking the Grand National course one day. I'd have had a spin around today but... I wasn't here early enough, and it would instantly ruin my shoes, but I'd still like to do it.
Luckily, we got Sky Bet's Michael Shinners to do the donkey-work and he chats through plotting the path to Aintree glory alongside 2012 Grand National-winning jockey Daryl Jacob.
I was fortunate enough to spend some time with Jacob yesterday and it's amazing getting a jockey's perspective. Officials here have done a fantastic job in terms of horse and jockey safety, particularly over the past five or six years, but these National Hunt riders are brave, brave people.
Jacob admits that the diminutive Valtor is probably a shade too high in the weights to win it, but fancies him to neatly jump his way around all being well.
0925: STANDING BY
The news was confirmed late yesterday that Barry Geraghty unfortunately suffered a leg fracture in a fall and he misses out on the ride on Anibale Fly today. It is widely understood that Mark Walsh will switch from Regal Encore onto the Gold Cup runner-up, but we're yet to hear who will come in for the ride on the Value Bet selection.
Ben Linfoot has two more National fancies to consider, plus three more selections elsewhere on the card, and you can read his thoughts on the day's action right here.
Speaking on attheraces.com last night, Geraghty said: "In terms of when I'll be back, it's too early to say. It's probably going to need surgery to straighten it. It's a weight-bearing bone and it took me nearly four months to come back when I broke my shin on the other leg a few years ago.
"I'd only be guessing at this stage, but I'll probably be at least 10 to 12 weeks on the sidelines."
0908: PROCESS OF ELIMINATION
Ed Chamberlin kindly joined us earlier in the week for a fun take on today's National, as he, Donn McClean, David Ord, Ben Linfoot and Sky Bet's Michael Shinners rattled through the field to settle on their shortlist of five.
0900: HOUSEKEEPING
It's a nice morning out there and, as promised, we've had no more rain since the early drizzle yesterday morning. As a result, the ground has dried out ever so slightly.
The official going now reads as follows:
National - Good to Soft, Soft at Canal Turn
Mildmay and Hurdle - Good to Soft, Good in places
Here is the scene from the grandstand first thing this morning...
0850: WHO WINS THE NATIONAL?
‘Lighten up, Brocklebank, it’s twenty past eight on Saturday morning and I’ve barely slept off last night’s espresso martini.’ Apologies.
Rathvinden.
He’ll do for me in the Grand National today, despite his price now creeping south of 10/1. I made the case for Willie Mullins’ horse a few weeks back at 14/1 (as well as Lake View Lad at 25s) and I’m happy to stick with him as my day of race selection. The case, in short, goes a little something like this…
- Ruby Walsh rides
- Willie Mullins trains
- Ruby Walsh rides
- He’s 6/13 since going chasing
- Ruby Walsh rides
- Loves soft ground
- Ruby Walsh rides
- Won over four miles at Cheltenham
- Ruby Walsh rides
- Officially 5lb well-in
- Ruby Walsh rides
- Won the same trial as Mullins’ last National winner Hedgehunter
- Ruby Walsh rides
- 10 of the past 11 winners were having their first start in the race
- Oh and Ruby Walsh rides
If you still consider the Grand National to be all down to pot luck, then try our random horse selector right here...
0845: KATIE… PRICELESS
Having been in the same spot this very day 12 months ago and kicked off with a quote from Katie Walsh, who rode Baie Des Iles for her husband Ross O’Sullivan last year, I feel somewhat compelled to follow suit and turn to Walsh once more for a typically punchy opening gambit regarding the big race, its safety, female jockeys and relatively tiny anti-National brigade.
This was her speaking on ITV Racing yesterday: “Whoever wins it, male of female, it doesn’t matter. It’s a great race and it’ll be a great day for someone.
“We don’t need to focus on the women in the race or anything like that.
“It’s a super race and the National is in a good place, a safe place, and no-one needs to save it from anything.”
You wouldn’t mess with Katie Walsh, would you. I’d happily send her into bat for me on just about any subject I reckon.
I don’t mean to start off on a semi-negative note, far from it.
It’s just we’ve had equine fatalities already here this week and chances are we could get more today. Luckily, from the past five National runnings, all the horses have returned to their boxes safe, and we of course want that to continue, but it’s not a given.
If you’re relatively new to racing and struggle to deal with the concept of the risks attached to it then you just have to listen to someone like Walsh to begin to understand the passion that goes into this from the people closely involved with the sport.
And like anything else in life involving passion (and animals), there are crushing lows to go with the extreme highs and without those feelings – elation, surprise, heartbreak, love - then we’re looking at a different sport entirely. Try Formula 1, perhaps.
0830: GET IN TOUCH
Hello, good morning and welcome to Aintree Racecourse, home of the Randox Health Grand National.
Whether it’s the fake lashes and highest of high heels, the opportunistic fella selling flip-flops for a fiver to aide those aching ankles on the streets of Liverpool after racing, or the famous birch itself, there is quite simply nowhere on this planet quite like Aintree on Grand National day.
And I’m genuinely honoured and excited to be here at the hub of things in the state of the art media centre just behind the hallowed winners’ circle.
Aintree Saturday all revolves around the big race itself and we have a cracking edition to look forward to, with countless potential storylines to ponder throughout the afternoon, but there are plenty of other (more sensible) betting opportunities to be had before the National ‘lottery’ at 5.15, and it’s my job to try to maximise the whole day and help guide you through the action.
I’m Matt Brocklebank and I hope you enjoy our live, trackside coverage with tons of previews, videos tips and general comment to come throughout.
If you fancy getting in touch then send me your National one-two-three and if anyone manages to nail it then I’ll reward you handsomely with something special I can get my hands on today – don’t get too giddy, I’m thinking more signed racecard than Tiger Roll’s saddlecloth. Just email matthew.brocklebank@sportinglife.com or tweet @MattBRocklebank and I’ll post the best of your contributions here in the blog for all of us to have a good chuckle at. Best of luck.
