Winning jockey Leighton Aspell: "That was awesome. Many Clouds is a tired boy, he gave his all like he always does but what a wonderful ride round. It was all guts. We went around the canal turn and AP McCoy was full of running but he pricked his ears and was in front. I could hear a couple of horses but I couldn't see anything and I was hoping for a couple to push us on because it is a lonely place."

The horses didn't take on Canal Turn for the second time because Balthazar King took a nasty fall. Thankfully, the horse appears to be OK.

Nikki Blythe: Woo hoo, got 1st place in the National, horse chosen simply because of jockey's name 'Leighton' - same as my boy.

"There was a slight bit of concern about Many Clouds at the end. They took the saddle off him pretty early, he was pretty distressed. I just saw him jig jog and he looks good now. It is exhausting when you put everything into it. They have cooling tents here, and he's currently in there getting sprayed down."

The winning owner - Trevor Hemmings - now has three Grand Nationals: Hedgehunter, Ballabriggs and now Many Clouds. He's also the owner of Preston North End. Could he be celebrating a League One promotion in a few weeks too?

Actor Jon Culshaw on Twitter: Enormous respect to whoever's typing the subtitles of the commentary on the Grand National.

What about your humble live text commentator, Jon?!

Many Clouds trainer Oliver Sherwood: "I can't put it into words. It is the best moment of my life, bar marrying my wife. I can't believe it. I watched it on my own. Rainbow Hunter fell and then we were in front. It was some spin. I am delighted."

The winning horse - Many Clouds - is given a well-deserved drenching with buckets of water. And what about his jockey Leighton Aspell? He's only gone and won two Grand Nationals in a row!

Many Clouds owner Trevor Hemmings: "It is an incredible feeling. I was shouting and shouting and shouting I am sure everyone around me was ducking out of the way, what a feeling!"

"AP McCoy had a clear passage all the way round, the only mistake was on the third last and maybe the petrol was starting to run out there, he could not have done any more."

1. Many Clouds (L P Aspell) 25-1

2. Saint Are (P J Brennan) 25-1

3. Monbeg Dude (L Treadwell) 40-1

4. Alvarado (Paul Moloney) 20-1

I'm just catching my breath. What an incredible and dramatic race. The bookies are happy about the lack of a fairytale ending.

Shutthefrontdoor finished fifth. A pay-out for AP fans, at least. Not the fairytale win though.

I'll get you the full result shortly.

Pineau De Re - last year's winner - is making a late bid. Still Many Clouds in the lead.

Two to jump and AP McCoy is second. The roof is about to come off Aintree. Off Liverpool. Off Britain.
