It's a very hot day, in case you hasn't noticed.

Which means that there's going to be a break with tradition after this year's National.

Meanwhile, it's almost time for the national anthem...

The runners are in the parade ring. We're only moments away!

QUICK: Everybody go out and stick a quid on every single runner!

Nobody yet knows who's going to start as favourite here, in a few minutes time.

Blacklion and Definitely Red are both 10/1 at the moment.

Bad news for anybody who backed Lord Windemere.

He's looking very ill at ease and his handles are having to coax him to the start-line. It's not looking good.

Here we go! 

...No!

There's a false start. The flags are waved and all the horses have to trot back to the start-line. Drama already!

Top work, Craig.
