I Am Maximus has won the Aintree Grand National.
The 7-1 shot justified favouritism to capture the race in the hands of Paul Townend for leading trainer Willie Mullins.
It was Irish domination as the Gordon Elliott-trained Delta Work was second while local trainer Henry de Bromhead's Minella Indo ran a cracking race in third while the de Bromhead-trained Ain't That A Shame came home in sixth. Last year's winner Corach Rambler fell at the first fence.
Here's how the closing stages played out.
