A winner at last week's Grand National festival has been disqualified after jockey Patrick O'Brien was found to have breached whip regulations on 20-1 victor Laafi.

The Irish 5lb claimer was first past the post on the William Durkan-trained runner in the 2m½f conditional and amateurs' handicap hurdle on the second day of Aintree's National meeting, but O'Brien was found to have used his whip four times above the permitted level of the seven strikes allowed in British jumps races after the second-last hurdle.

BHA rules state that any jockey found to have used the whip four times or more above the allowed limit will be disqualified, with the Aintree contest, worth £25,720 to the winner, now awarded to the runner-up Melon for Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero.

Grand National hero Noble Yeats has died at the age of 11 after suffering from colic, shortly after the fourth anniversary of his Aintree triumph for the Waley-Cohen family and trainer Emmet Mullins.

Noble Yeats, who won the 2022 Grand National at odds of 50-1 under Sam Waley-Cohen in the silks of his father Robert, was spending his retirement at his owner's stud in Oxfordshire when the health issue became known on Wednesday.

He was treated by vets through the night but could not be saved and was put down on Thursday morning.

RIP

Aidan said pre race the going was a big worry.
That’s what beat him.
He was never detached at the start.
In this case a good rule was incorrectly used.
So I wonder if it wasn’t a Ballydoyle horse….

The going beat a lot of fancied horses.

Five comfortable winners virtually unchallenged at Epsom.
