🏇 Excitement is building for the Grand National 2026 at Aintree! 🏆 Who do you think will take the crown this year?
Leading the race is I Am Maximus, the 2024 champion, making waves with odds of 13/2. Trained by the renowned Willie Mullins, this horse is a favourite, aiming to reclaim its title after a stellar performance in 2024 as the runner-up last year. 🎯
Hot on Maximus’s heels is Panic Attack, with odds of 8/1. Having already captured victory in the Coral Gold Cup, she’s vying to be the first mare to win the Grand National since 1951. Could history repeat itself? 🐎
Also from the Mullins stable is Grangeclare West at 17/2, eyeing victory after a strong third-place finish in 2025. Meanwhile, Jagwar, a fresh face at Aintree, stands at 10/1 after turning heads at Cheltenham. Will luck favour this newcomer? 🔥
Rounding out the top contenders is Johnnywho, matching Jagwar’s odds of 10/1. Fresh off a win at the Cheltenham Festival’s Ultima Chase, trainer Jonjo O’Neill is confident in Johnnywho’s staying power. 🌟
Unfortunately, reigning champion Nick Rockett is sitting out due to a cough, and Pied Piper’s mobility issues mean Imperial Saint steps in as the late addition, joining a competitive field of 34 runners. 📉
