The runner that holds the record over the past 20 renewals for the slowest time in the race was set in the 2018 renewal when The Dutchman from Colin Tizzard under the guidance of Harry Cobden, won in a time of 7:22.50, whilst at the other end of the spectrum, Our Vic, trained by David Pipe and ridden by Danny Cook set the quickest time of 6:11.60 in the 2010 renewal.

What the expert says...
The 2025 winner, Mr Vango, was the first winner to go on to win next time out since The Last Fling achieved it in 2000. Mr Vango went on to win the Midlands Grand National.
