Many Clouds takes the Grand National while AP McCoy can only finish fifth in Aintree farewell

Jockey Leighton Aspall won the race for the second year in-a-row.

AFTER A DISAPPOINTING performance in the Cheltenham Gold Cup, Many Clouds bounced back to win the Grand National in Aintree this afternoon. The 25/1 shot was ridden by Leighton Aspall, who also won the race with Pineau de Re last year.

Tony McCoy, competing in his last ever Grand National, was in contention throughout on Shutthefrontdoor but tailed off towards the end and finished fifth.

Oliver Sherwood was the winning trainer.

Saint Are came second, Monbeg Dude was third and Alvarado was fourth.

Jockey Paul Moloney’s recent run of form in the race also continued today.
