Only two greys have won the Grand National – The Lamb (1868 and 1871) and Nicolaus Silver (1961). Suny Bay, second to Lord Gyllene in 1997, filled the same spot behind Earth Summit in 1998. Over the next two seasons Suny Bay finished 13th, while Kendal Cavalier came seventh and 12th in the same two renewals and another grey, Senor El Betrutti, fell at the first in 2000.

Two greys were among the first four horses home in 2002 – the runner-up What’s Up Boys and the fourth Kingsmark. The three greys that ran in 2005 did not fare well – Strong Resolve finished 17th, while Double Honour unseated his rider and Marcus Du Berlais pulled up. Last year, Ross Comm fell at the fourth.
