Word is (on RacingUK) that it was the tendon injury that caused him to veer, meaning that he carried it for most of the run in, and would probably have won otherwise. Of course a race like the national always has loads of ifs and buts(Ballycassidy, Bewley's Berry, Simon all going very well when falling) but an injury is a bit more unlucky than making a mistake.
