Former Edinburgh University student and dental tycoon Sam Waley-Cohen was riding high yesterday after guiding 50-1 shot Noble Yeats to victory in the Grand National.
The posh amateur jockey – who is a friend of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge – is also the great, great-grandson of the founder of oil giant Shell.
Noble Yeats is owned by Sam’s dad Robert and the Aintree showpiece was the 39-year-old’s last race as he announced last week that he is retiring.
