    Davy Russell, winning jockey: He's just an unbelievable horse.

    Gordon Elliott, winning trainer: It was marvellous. He had a couple of stumbles but the the blinkers did the trick today.

    It just doesn't happen!

    This race was first staged in 1839 and it hasn't been done since Red Rum.

    Tiger Roll was the smallest horse in the race, but had more bounce than Zebedee over the last two fences.

    He came on so strong after a bit of slip four from home.

    Winning jockey, Davy Russell on ITV racing: I can't believe it. That's the man there (pointing at trainer Gordon Elliott). Louise who looks after him does a great job. At my age now to win two Grand Nationals - wow. Dad came over this year to watch. Gordon has been so good to me over my career. What can I say.

    John Hunt
    BBC Radio 5 live commentator at Aintree

    An extraordinary win for this little horse. This is a huge horse racing story, there will only ever be one Red Rum but so many horses have tried to win again and it has taken since 1974 for it to happen again.

    As the sun beats down in Aintree,Tiger Roll has beaten Magic of Light.
