Grand National 2015

The Grand National 2015 was won by Many Clouds, ridden by champion jockey Leighton Aspell. He is the first jockey to take two consecutive wins since Brian Fletcher with Red Rum in 1973/4. Trainer Oliver Sherwood said he would be now training for the Grand National in 2016 rather than the Gold Cup.
