Takingrisks caused a 25-1 surprise in the Coral Scottish Grand National for trainer Nicky Richards and jockey Sean Quinlan.
Richards, whose father Gordon won the race twice, way back in 1969 with Playlord and again in 1990 with Four Trix, has enjoyed a resurgent couple of seasons.
Having struggled to replace stable star Monet's Garden, the likes of Simply Ned, Guitar Pete and Baywing have all won big prizes recently for the Greystoke handler.
Richards in fact ran two, with Grimthorpe winner Chidswell going off a shorter price, but with half a mile to run Takingrisks could be spotted going noticeably well.

When the favourite Vintage Clouds dropped away it was Takingrisks and Eider Chase winner Crosspark (10-1) fighting it out, with Quinlan's mount coming four lengths clear.
Crosspark just held off Cloth Cap (9-1) and Blue Flight (25-1), who took minor honours.
Winning trainer Richards told ITV Sport: "Takingrisks was travelling beautifully and I’ll need a bit of time to take it all in.

"It went like clockwork and Sean gave him a fantastic ride."
Quinlan added: "Unbelievable. You just get so much joy when you pass the line, you know. It's a National and I'm proud of winning it.
"We tried to get a good start because he's not the quickest. I was quite surprised how well he travelled. I nearly fell off him, I was hanging on to him for about ten strides!"
