Funds raised by the sale of Tiger Roll's saddlecloth will go to the GNAASCredit: John Grossick (racingpost.com/photos)
The saddlecloth carried to Grand National victory this year by Tiger Roll is being auctioned off to raise money for the Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS).
Signed by winning jockey Davy Russell, the saddlecloth, which bears the victor’s name and number, has been framed alongside pictures of Aintree and an official racecard.
