One For Arthur (winner 2017)
The 12-year-old was retired from racing in November 2020. He was in training with Lucinda Russell, and the son of Milan provided Scotland with only their second National win, when ridden to victory by jockey Derek Fox.
Rule The World (winner 2016)
The 11-year-old provided his connections and trainer Mouse Morris with a “fairytale” triumph in the 2016 Grand National.
He was retired quite young at the age of nine in 2016, following his big win. Although in good health when retired, the decision was made based on his previous pelvic injuries and that he deserved a happy retirement.
