I Am Maximus was the pre-race favourite having triumphed in the 2024 edition of the race, but was denied back-to-back Grand Nationals by Nick Rockett, who led home a one-two-three for trainer Willie Mullins.

In what was a family affair, Nick Rockett was ridden by the trainer’s son, Patrick, as the 33-1 shot outsider proved too strong for I Am Maximus in a dramatic Aintree race.
