The 2023 Grand National was won by Corach Rambler, who was ridden by Derek Fox.

The winning horse, and the five others to place were:

Corach Rambler 8/1F

Vanillier 20/1

Gaillard Du Mesnil 10/1

Noble Yeats 10/1

The Big Dog 12/1

Bookies usually pay out on the top six places at the Grand National due to the size of the field - but you'll need to check with who you put your bet on with.

The race covered four-and-a-half miles - two laps - of the famous course, with all horses taking on 30 fences. Last year, Sam Waley-Cohen made history with his horse Noble Yeats, becoming the first amateur jockey to win the race in more than three decades. He returned at 50-1.
