Davy Russell, who won the Grand National riding Tiger Roll in 2018, told BBC Radio 5 Live earlier: "It hasn't hit me yet - maybe not until I've retired and finished riding in the race can I sit back and take it in.
"I might sneak around the back to avoid selfies as there's quite a Tiger Roll fan club here!"
Russell was joined by fellow jockeys Nico de Boinville and Harry Cobden on 5 Live.

Debece has won on his last two outings - a win in Newcastle in January followed up by a success at Catterick last month.
Could it be a hat-trick for trainer Tim Vaughan and jockey Alan Johns?
He goes off as 5-1 favourite...

Miinnehoma, a 16-1 shot, took glory in the colours of comedian Freddie Starr, who is not present at Aintree and gave 15-time champion Jump trainer Martin Pipe Grand National success for the first and only time.
Jockey Richard Dunwoody celebrated his second victory, following on from West Tip in 1986.

Some riders like to run around the course before racing, to get a feel for the ground and/or to lose a few lbs.
'Rathvinden ticks all the right boxes' - Walshpublished at 16:04 British Summer Time 6 April 2019
Ruby Walsh, who will be riding Rathvinden this afternoon is impressed by the dedication of those Tiger Roll fans.
He said: "Those Tiger Roll fans are deadly!
"It's not something you usually see at racing but it's great."
On his horse this year: "I won't know if he's the right horse until the third fence.
"He's a nice weight and could be well handicapped. He's a nimble jumper and ticks all the right boxes.
"If you don't have butterflies at the start of this race knowing the amount of people watching, you're in the wrong job."
Here he is below talking to Mark Chapman (and a cheeky cameo from BBC Sport Frank Keogh)

The most famous fence in the world?
I don't think there is any doubt about it.
It gained its name when Captain Martin Becher was dumped in the drink in the very first running of the race back in 1839.
It stands at four foot 10 inches while the famous drop (the difference in height between the level of the ground on take-off and landing sides) was reduced after the 2011 Grand National to between 10 inches (inner) and 6 inches (outer).

We were expecting a little rock and roll glamour to be lent to the Grand National by Sandymount Duke and his owner and Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood.
Unfortunately trainer Jessica Harrington reported back earlier this week that Sandymount Duke suffered a minor setback and would miss the race.
