🏇 Get ready for the thrill of the Grand National 2026! The final list of 34 runners has been confirmed and the odds are in. Will I Am Maximus, the 2024 winner, take the crown again as the 13/2 favourite? He aims to make history by winning as a top weight, something that hasn’t been achieved since the legendary Red Rum in 1974. Paul Townend is back in the saddle, teaming up with trainer Willie Mullins, who’s chasing a record three consecutive wins.
The race has already seen some shake-ups. Defending champ Nick Rockett is out, sidelined with a cough, and first reserve Pied Piper won’t be galloping either due to a mobility issue. But fear not, Imperial Saint steps in, keeping the competition fierce.
Amirite grabs the last spot after Spillane’s Tower withdrew post-Aintree Bowl, promising even more excitement. The starting gun fires at 4pm this Saturday – who will you be cheering for?
With favourites like Banbridge at 40/1, Grangeclare West at 17/2, and Gerri Colombe also at 17/2, there’s sure to be plenty of nail-biting moments. Whether it’s seasoned veterans or fresh challengers, each horse has a chance to shine under the Aintree spotlight.
