  1. Into the winners' enclosure...published at 17:38 British Summer Time 8 April 2017

    The field dismount and One For Arthur is led off for a bucket of water and a cool-down while jockey Derek Fox heads into the winners' enclosure on his own two feet, saddle in hand.

    A fanfare and cheers as he clambers aboard the scales and pumps his fist to his supporters.

  2. Tight to the endpublished at 17:35 British Summer Time 8 April 2017

    The betting market suggested that it would be a fiendishly tight Grand National and it was nip and tuck all the way.

    Blaklion went early and hard but didn't have the gas.

    One For Arthur proved to have the stamina as he went toe to toe with Cause Of Causes up the finishing straight.

    He had the bottle, he took his time, he produced it when it mattered. It shows you don't need experience to win a Grand National.
