Despite being run in Liverpool, England – the Aintree Grand National hasn’t seen an English-trained winning horse for 10 years – with the last coming back in 2015. <\/strong><\/p>\n

But just who is the horse in question, and can the British stables break this long losing spell in 2025?<\/p>\n

The Last English-Trained Grand National Winner Was Many Clouds In 2015<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You have to go back to 2015 to find the last English-trained Grand National winner – which was Oliver Sherwood’s MANY CLOUDS.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aged 8 at the time, Many Clouds was sent off as the second top-weight behind the 2014 Gold Cup winner Lord Windermere. He was rated 160 in 2015, which saw him carry 11st 9lbs to victory.<\/p>\n

This was the most weight a Grand National winner had lumped to victory since Red Rum won with 12st back in 1974.<\/p>\n

Many Clouds Provided Trevor Hemmings With A Third Grand National Win<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Many Clouds was also giving owner Trevor Hemmings his third Grand National win after winning the famous steeplechase with Hedgehunter (2005) and Ballabriggs (2011).<\/p>\n

His win also gave jockey Leighton Aspell a remarkable second win in the race. Having won the top prize only 12 months before on Pineau De Re.<\/p>\n

However, the 2015 Many Clouds Grand National also remains the last time an English-trained winner stepped into the winners’ enclosure – with Irish and Scottish winners dominating since.<\/p>\n

The 2015 race actually saw English-trained horses fill the first seven places. But since then they’ve been on a National drought.<\/p>\n

The Many Clouds National will also be remembered for being the last ride in the race for former champion jockey AP McCoy, who finished fifth on Shutthefrontdoor as the 6\/1 favourite with the best horse racing betting sites in the UK<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Many Clouds went into run 16th in the 2016 Grand National off a 5lb higher mark. Plus won twice more in his career, but sadly collapsed and died after his final win in the 2017 Cotswold Chase at Cheltenham.<\/p>\n

In total he raced 27 times, winning 12 of those and amassed \u00a3928,000 in total prize money.<\/p>\n
