Stellar StoryWho are this year’s Grand National Favourites?
Willie Mullins will unleash a strong team and 2024 winner I Am Maximus and last year’s third Grangeclare West are two of the leading fancies for the 2026 Grand National.
Meanwhile, Iroko, fourth last year, has been trained solely with this race in mind, while another JP McManus-owned duo in Jagwar and Johnnywho ran well at the Cheltenham Festival, and have entries here.
Who are this year’s Grand National Underdogs?
Although he disappointed in the Cheltenham Gold Cup, Haiti Couleurs has won the Irish and Welsh Grand Nationals in the past 12 months. He could be another standout British candidate with champion jockey Sean Bowen likely to be in the saddle.
A former Gold Cup fourth, Monty’s Star has always looked a strapping staying chaser. He could suit this test, as could the mare Panic Attack, the Coral Gold Cup winner who warmed up for this by running in the Mares’ Chase at Cheltenham.
Grand National Betting: Trustworthy Bookmakers Where You Can Place Your Bets
The Grand National is one of the biggest betting events of the year, with so many punters placing their only wager of the calendar year on the race. We do know that bet365 have gone Non Runner No Bet on the race, so with question marks about the favourite, you can place a bet on him knowing your money will be returned if he does not run.
Grand National Odds Calculations and Payouts
Odds can be displayed in more ways than one, but you traditionally see them as fractions. These are not always completely linear though, so take some working out or explaining.
Let us take 2024 winner I Am Maximus as an example:
- He was priced at 33/1 – this means that for every £1 you bet on I Am Maximus to win, you would receive £33 in return. This is straightforward enough, and means that if you had placed a £5 bet on I Am Maximus, you would have won £165.
- However, you may have backed the favourite Iroko, for the race. Had he secured the victory at 13/2, you would have earned £13 for every £2 you bet. In other words you would have made £6.50 for every £1 you placed.
- Fundamentally, the first number represents the amount of winnings you get for every 1x multiple of the second number. Fortunately, the majority of odds end in a “1”, so are relatively easy to work out.
Grand National Favourites Vs Winners
Below are tables for the five Championship races to see the success rate of favourites in the race.
| Year | Favourite/odds/finishing position | Winner (odds) |
| 2026 | I Am Maximus (9/2) 1st | I Am Maximus (9/2) |
| 2025 | Iroko (13/2) 4th | Nick Rockett (33/1) |
| 2024 | I Am Maximus (7/1) 1st Limerick Lace (7/1) 10th | I Am Maximus (7/1) |
| 2023 | Corach Rambler (8/1) 1st | Corach Rambler (8/1) |
| 2022 | Any Second Now (15/2) 2nd | Noble Yeats (50/1) |
| 2021 | Cloth Cap (11/2) Pulled Up | Minella Times (11/1) |
| 2019 | Tiger Roll (4/1) 1st | Tiger Roll (4/1) |
| 2018 | Total Recall (7/1) Pulled Up | Tiger Roll (10/1) |
| 2017 | Blaklion (8/1) 4th | One For Arthur (14/1) |
| 2016 | The Last Samuri (8/1) 2nd Many Clouds (8/1) 16th | Rule The World (33/1) |
| 2015 | Shutthefrontdoor (6/1) 5th | Many Clouds (25/1) |
Being a handicap with such a big field should make the Grand National a difficult race for favourites. However, if you include I Am Maximus as a winning favourite last year, even if he was a joint market leader, then we have now had back-to-back favourites winning for the first time since 1894.
I Am Maximus was also the third favourite to win in five years, and with the maximum field trimmed from 40 to 34, plus an emphasis on class over courage nowadays, the race is easier to win, making those at the head of the betting more likely to prevail.
Only two winners since 2017 have gone off at a price bigger than 14/1, so the chances of outsiders are thinning all the time. One could still pop up, like Nick Rockett or Noble Yeats, but as he proved, it is more likely that an outsider is an unexposed horse with a little up their sleeve rather than an experienced handicapper like Pineau De Re.
