In one of the most thrilling finishes to a Grand National in recent years, it was 33/1 shot Rule The World who rode home for Dave Mullins and an understandably emotional Mouse Morris.

Rule The World won what was incredibly its first race over fences, sprinting ahead of The Last Samuri and 100/1 shot Vics Canvas respectively to claim the big one at Aintree.

But what made Robbie Dunne's ride on Vics Canvas all the more remarkable was this recovery following near-disaster at Becher's Brook.

With the horse ending up on its stomach, Dunne somehow kept his cool and recovered to romp home in third position.
