Here is the order of positions for this years Grand National!
Please note, the runners who DNF (did not finish) have been listed in a place according to where they fell. However, some riders fell at the same hurdle and that is noted below. Therefore, those who fell at the same time will be given the same position number in the final ranking. If two riders have position 35, but you put one of them in position 36, that will count as a correct guess. However, if the rider pulled up BEFORE a gate, they will be positioned lower than those who fell AT the same gate.

A list of everyone's winnings will follow within the next 24 hours.

1) Pineau De Re
2) Balthazar King
3) Double Seven
