  3. 'Mullins will be stretched to beat us this year'published at 14:05 BST

    Winning jockey Harry Skelton talking to ITV: "Me and Jack Kennedy were having a chat about how bad the weather was, the hailstones were coming down.

    "He was unlucky at Cheltenham. I rode him for a lot of luck. He had a bit more experienced, rode him a bit handier and it worked out for him.

    "The horses have been in flying form all year. I haven't said this yet, but It looks like Willie Mullins will be stretched to beat us this year! It has been a brilliant year for us. Great team."

    It's another win for Dan Skelton and this time it's brother Harry Skelton on board.

    A great burst of speed on the final stretch to take the win.

    I said it could be a big day for the Skelton's earlier today and it is panning out that way as we speak.

    From what I can see, anyway.

    Wish me luck in figuring out who is who behind these rain covered cameras.

    Bossman Jack, another Dan Skelton trained horse has moved up to joint-favourite alongside Ballyfad for this one.

    The horses are just trotting along to the starting line as we edge closer to the off.

    Gordon Elliott is looking to make it five winners in a row in this race and has the favourite Ballyfad tasked with bringing it home.

    It won't be easy for the five-year-old though after a disappointing recent outing at Cheltenham saw him finish 10th of 21.

    Scorpio Rising, trained by Olly Murphy, is in fantastic form and will fancy his chances of halting Elliott's streak.

    Came From Nowhere is a non-runner.

  11. Get On George put down after last racepublished at 13:43 BST

    We have an update with some sad news about Get On George.

    The horse was pulled up and quickly dismounted by Jack Tudor during the last race.

    After being assessed by on-course veterinary staff, it has been confirmed that the six-year-old has had to be humanely euthanised.

    It is the second passing at this meeting with Gold Dancer put down after winning the Mildmay Novices' Chase on Friday.

    Get On George was pulled up towards the back end of that last race.

    As reported by ITV, the horse was quickly dismounted by jockey Jack Tudor and is now being assessed on the course at Aintree.

    Winning jockey Gavin Sheehan, who is back riding after a ban ruled him out of the opening days of the meeting, told ITV Racing after riding Wade Out: "That's a nice way to come back. They were a long two weeks but I've come back fresh. He travelled like a dream and I couldn't pull him up at the end."

    Wade Out absolutely flies up to take the William Hill Handicap Hurdle.

    And it is a long-priced winner for Sir Alex Ferguson and the rest of the ownership group at 18-1, who takes that by several lengths.

    From two fences out, Wade Out found another level the rest of the field. Just as Eagle Fang was about to pull clear.

    Chart Topper and Supremely West finish well too, but no dice for favourite Hold The Serve who settles for fifth.

    As I say that, Bold Endeavour has a poor jump and drops back. Eagle Fang and Kaka's Cousin are in good positions, with Eagle Fang taking a lead.

    Kaka's Cousin is beginning to stretch its legs further, but is being kept in good company by Eagle Fang.

    One circuit down and it is still anyone's guess as the Aintree crowd give off a big roar at the halfway mark.

    Favourite Hold The Serve is in seventh at present, but in a good spot with nine hurdles to go.
