He laid the foundation stone on 7 February 1829, and placed a container of sovereigns inside the footings.

[2] In 1835 Lynn organised hurdle racing, which was a great success, especially when a well-known, rider, Captain Martin Becher, agreed to take part and rode a horse named Vivian to two victories.

Last year's winner Noble Yeats is hoping to emulate Aintree greats such as Red Rum and Tiger Roll by winning the race in consecutive years.
