Many a good race still to come for Sherwood's National hero

Whether or not we saw a Grand National winner in the Betfred Becher Chase, we certainly saw one later on the card – past and possibly future too.

Many Clouds came out on top in the world's most famous chase in 2015 and, unlike many of his predecessors, he has gone forwards rather than backwards since that success.

And he's one of William Hill's 20-1 co-favourites to land an historic second triumph next April after landing the Listed 3m1f chase under Leighton Aspell on his return from a wind operation.
