• Irish Grand National Winner
• 1st Grand National Winner

Winner of the Ultima Handicap Chase at Cheltenham in 2019, Beware The Bear could take his chances at the Grand National 2021 but only if the ground doesn’t try up prior to the race. Was 5th last time out in the Ladbrokes Trophy Chase but a long way off the winner Cloth Cap. Mrs Pitman, who became the first woman to train a first Grand National winner in 1983 with Corbiere, was devastated. 'This is no Grand National, even though I have won it,' she said. The owner of Esha Ness, Patrick Bancroft, is understood to be considering suing Aintree over the £76,000 prize money for first place.

A race was run at Gatwick from 1916-18, organised by the National Hunt Committee.
There was no input whatever from the Aintree executive.

None of the three races was called the Grand National, runners at Gatwick raced in the opposite direction to that at Aintree (ie right-handed), and no attempt was made to replicate the Aintree fences. In 1916 the race was called The Racecourse Association Steeplechase and in 1917 and 1918 The War National. The winners of these races were:

1918 Poethlyn, Ernie Piggott, Harry Escott, Mrs Hugh Peel 5/1

1917 Ballymacad, Edmund Driscoll, Aubrey Hastings, Sir George Bullough 100/9

1916 Vermouth, Jack Reardon, J Bell, P F Heybourne 100/8
