Meanwhile, here is what the jockeys had to say - starting with our winner, Derek Fox:

"The only concern I had was that he might be a bit slow for the first mile and might end up too far back. It's tricky to win a National from far back, but he jumped so well. After he went one circuit I felt I couldn't be going as well as I was because I was close enough to the leaders. I kept him wide as he was making two or three lengths at every fence. I was getting closer and closer and I thought I was maybe going to get there too soon. For a brief moment I took a pull. I couldn't resist it.

"He's the gamest horse I've ever ridden and he galloped all the way to the line."

Jamie Codd (Cause Of Causes, second)

"He's a fantastic little horse. He's not that big and to do what he has done today is great. The winner has done it well but my horse galloped all the way to the line. He's a little star and he's great for the yard. To finish second in the National and be a three-time Cheltenham Festival winner is incredible."

Davy Russell (Saint Are, third)

"He just went through a flat patch. He was a bit slow at the last with a circuit to go, then when we came around the bend we came alive again. They quickened away from Becher's and I just couldn't go with them, so I let him off with the hope he would pass tired horses and that happened. I didn't think I was going to win at any stage, but I was riding for my best position and I think I achieved that."

Noel Fehily (Blaklion, fourth)

"He gave me a great ride. He jumped brilliantly but he just tied up a bit from two out."

Robbie Dunne (Gas Line Boy, fifth)

"He gave me a super spin. He got into a lovely rhythm from the start. He ran well but he probably didn't get home. I was travelling really well turning in and while perhaps I would not have won, if I'd held on to him a bit longer I might have finished third."

And one who didn't do quite so well...

Brian Hughes (Vicente)

"I fell at the first so there's not a lot more I can say. It was all OK up to then!"
