'I thought he could win' - McCoypublished at 17:09 British Summer Time 11 April 2015
AP McCoy, who finished fifth, speaking on Channel 4 Racing: "I thought from the third last fence I was running on empty. I will miss riding horses and races like that. I thought for a long way he could win. It was my last National but was a very enjoyable one."

Surprised by the victory of Many Clouds? I suspect the experts are - none of them we surveyed had the horse in their top four ahead of the race. Goes to show it's a lottery at times.

The replays continue to be played out on television, and one such shot captures a couple of jockeys without a ride urging their colleagues on at the winning post. The best seat in the house. Apart from on the winner, of course.

Did you know winning jockey Leighton Aspell has an official fan club? The fan club's website says he is the only jockey to have such a thing. It's amazing what a search engine throws up.

"Jumping the last I couldn't watch. I watched the race on my own and the poor people beside me - I lost it completely!
"It gave me a bit more confidence this week when (Silviniaco) Conti ran so well and Holywell didn't run badly, so the Gold Cup form was working out.
"Luckily this year there's an extra week from Cheltenham to Aintree, which has made a huge difference. I'm going to really enjoy this one - I'm in cloud cuckoo land!

And some more from winning trainer Trevor Hemmings: "Seriously, it was incredible. You come to the National and you dream that you win it.
"When a third comes along, that is something special. It is a wonderful, wonderful feeling. For years and years this race has captured my heart. What a wonderful feeling, you can't express it.
"Thank you Oliver Sherwood, thank you Leighton and all the staff, and, of course, Aintree."

Here's more from the winning jockey Leighton Aspell: "It was wonderful and we will certainly celebrate tonight. I asked some big questions, but he dug deep.
"We really refreshed and recharged his battery, and I tried to conserve energy. He is all heart - all season he has had hard races.
"Win lose or draw, that's the best ride I have had in the National. I just hoped his battery life lasted out and it did. "

BBC Sport at Aintree"Trainer Oliver Shewood is in tears after the triumph of Many Clouds vindicated his decision to run the horse.
"The eight-year-old was sixth in last month's Cheltenham Gold Cup after winning the Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury in November and scoring at Cheltenham in January.
"Jockey Leighton Aspell, who also triumphed on Pineau De Re last year, is the first rider to secure back-to-back victories in the National since Brian Fletcher on Red Rum in 1973 and 1974."
