The 2024 winner, runner-up last year, surged from off the pace under Paul Townend to win by two-and-a-half lengths. Willie Mullins is now the first trainer to secure three straight Nationals since fellow Irishman Vincent O’Brien (1953-55), marking a record-equalling fourth win in the race for the 69-year-old. It was also a record fourth success for owner JP McManus, who placed three horses in the top four: Iroko second and Johnnywho fourth. Of the 34 runners, 16 finished the course.
