Winner: Gaylad was ridden by Tom Olliver, who was one of the most experienced riders in the race, having his fourth ride after finishing second in 1839 while riding Seventy Four. The horse was owned by Piccadilly horse trader John Elmore whose blue jacket and black cap colours had already been carried to victory in 1839 by Lottery. It was also suggested that Elmore had owned a part share in 1840 Grand National winner, Jerry. He was trained by George Dockeray whose Epsom stables had also prepared Lottery and Jerry when they had won.
Second: Seventy Four, who was finishing second for the second time and carried the colours of Lord Mostyn. He was ridden by A Powell.
Third: Peter Simple, who was third for the second consecutive year and was carrying the colours of his rider, Robert Hunter.
Fourth: The Returned, who was also in the colours of his rider William J Hope-Johnstone
