The Welsh-trained horse, ridden by Jack Tudor, was an 18-1 shot and held off Walk in the Mill and Any Second Now. Tiger Roll, the winner of the last two actual Grand National races and the 5-1 favourite, finished fourth. All bookmakers profits will be donated to the NHS Charities Together, an umbrella body representing more than 140 charities supporting the National Health Service. The event, which was put together using CGI technology and algorithms, was backed by major bookmakers and was broadcast on television and also live-streamed.
