Corach Rambler wins the Grand National for Scotland as Lucinda Russell's 'marvellous' horse takes biggest prize

Corach Rambler won the 2023 Grand National at Aintree, for Kinross trainer Lucinda Russell who was winning the race for the second time.

Not even protesters could stop the hero of the hour in a race which was delayed by sixteen minutes after activists scaled fences to glue themselves to obstacles.

Winning jockey Derek Fox had the 8/1 favourite handy on the first circuit and avoided any trouble to loom large alongside long time leader Mister Coffey on the home turn.

However, Fox - who won the race in 2017 for One For Arthur, who was also trained by Russell - knew not to get to the front too soon and he had to bide his time to spring forward after the last.
