Tiger Roll ridden by jockey Davy Russell (right) wins the Randox Health Grand National Handicap Chase ahead of Pleasant Company ridden by jockey David Mullins during Grand National Day of the 2018 Randox Health Grand National Festival at Aintree Racecours
TIGER Roll - described as "small, but with the heart of a lion" by owner Michael O'Leary - won a thrilling Grand National by a matter of inches at Aintree.
The three-time Cheltenham Festival winner was seemingly home and dry after jumping the last, but tired on the run-in and just held off a late surge by second placed Pleasant Company to win at odds of 10/1.
Irish horses occupied the first six places in a race marred by the death of a faller at Becher's Brook the first time round, which meant the fence was not jumped on the second circuit.
