Winning jockey Harry Skelton talking to ITV: "Me and Jack Kennedy were having a chat about how bad the weather was, the hailstones were coming down.

"He was unlucky at Cheltenham. I rode him for a lot of luck. He had a bit more experienced, rode him a bit handier and it worked out for him.

"The horses have been in flying form all year. I haven't said this yet, but It looks like Willie Mullins will be stretched to beat us this year! It has been a brilliant year for us. Great team."

It's another win for Dan Skelton and this time it's brother Harry Skelton on board.

A great burst of speed on the final stretch to take the win.

I said it could be a big day for the Skelton's earlier today and it is panning out that way as we speak.

Charisma Cat is running gloriously at the moment with two to go.

From what I can see, anyway.

Richard Hoiles just said it is "torrential hail" now at Aintree.

Rooster Crowing leads the pack with four hurdles to go.

Bossman Jack is right in the middle of the pack as they head down the side of the course.

Wish me luck in figuring out who is who behind these rain covered cameras.

Race three is go at Aintree.

The camera lenses are covered in rain as the English weather continues to English weather.

Bossman Jack, another Dan Skelton trained horse has moved up to joint-favourite alongside Ballyfad for this one.

Gordon Elliott is looking to make it five winners in a row in this race and has the favourite Ballyfad tasked with bringing it home.

It won't be easy for the five-year-old though after a disappointing recent outing at Cheltenham saw him finish 10th of 21.

Scorpio Rising, trained by Olly Murphy, is in fantastic form and will fancy his chances of halting Elliott's streak.

Came From Nowhere is a non-runner.

We have an update with some sad news about Get On George.

The horse was pulled up and quickly dismounted by Jack Tudor during the last race.

After being assessed by on-course veterinary staff, it has been confirmed that the six-year-old has had to be humanely euthanised.

It is the second passing at this meeting with Gold Dancer put down after winning the Mildmay Novices' Chase on Friday.

Get On George was pulled up towards the back end of that last race.

As reported by ITV, the horse was quickly dismounted by jockey Jack Tudor and is now being assessed on the course at Aintree.

Winning jockey Gavin Sheehan, who is back riding after a ban ruled him out of the opening days of the meeting, told ITV Racing after riding Wade Out: "That's a nice way to come back. They were a long two weeks but I've come back fresh. He travelled like a dream and I couldn't pull him up at the end."

1 Wade Out (G Sheehan) 18-1

2 Eagle Fang (Patrick M O'Brien) 28-1

3 Chart Topper (Brian Hayes) 25-1

4 Supremely West (Harry Skelton) 7-1

Wade Out absolutely flies up to take the William Hill Handicap Hurdle.

And it is a long-priced winner for Sir Alex Ferguson and the rest of the ownership group at 18-1, who takes that by several lengths.

From two fences out, Wade Out found another level the rest of the field. Just as Eagle Fang was about to pull clear.

Chart Topper and Supremely West finish well too, but no dice for favourite Hold The Serve who settles for fifth.

Wade Out has absolutely bolted up.

Eagle Fang facing a big challenge with one to go.

As I say that, Bold Endeavour has a poor jump and drops back. Eagle Fang and Kaka's Cousin are in good positions, with Eagle Fang taking a lead.

Get On George is pulled up.

Kaka's Cousin and Bold Endeavour are joined by Eagle Fang and the trio are absolutely flying forward now.

They open up a lead on the the rest of the pack four out from home.

Kaka's Cousin is beginning to stretch its legs further, but is being kept in good company by Eagle Fang.

One circuit down and it is still anyone's guess as the Aintree crowd give off a big roar at the halfway mark.

Kaka's Cousin and Bold Endeavour lead from Eagle Fang at the front.

Favourite Hold The Serve is in seventh at present, but in a good spot with nine hurdles to go.

Kaka's Cousin and Bold Endeavour take an early lead, but it is a compact field.

Over the first two, all get over safely and the start of a competitive race is brewing.

Despite a few jockey shouts of "no, no, no" - the second time is good.

We are off this time.
