Dad blown away as he thanks daughters' sweet gesture for huge Grand National win

A proud dad thanked his daughters after he won big money at the Grand National.

Melvin Pratt attended the iconic steeplechase at Aintree Racecourse alongside his wife, Lesley. The 60-year-old spoke to the ECHO outside the Lord Sefton stand and ecstatically revealed he won just over £1,000 in yesterday's big race.

Melvin backed Corach Rambler to win after he closely followed the horse's form over recent months. He told the ECHO: "When he went out at Cheltenham, he absolutely strolled up. He was 10lbs out for the handicap and I knew he's got a great chance."
