Tips to help you pick the winning horse at the Grand National
Just going by the field size alone, the Grand National is the hardest race to pick the winner of in the entire sport and with 30 obstacles in the way of the 34 runners then it’s a real tough task to pick the winner of the 4m 2 1/2f yards race.
The racecard stares back at you with 34 names to choose from. Which horses can deal with the huge spectator capacity in Aintree all excitable about the world’s greatest steeplechase with tickets selling like hot cakes throughout the season.
Course experience can be a useful factor in your selection with the jockey holding the rein of a former runner being a huge positive. Similarly, though it is always tempting to find a romantic 100/1 winner, six of the last eight winners were well-fancied by the National’s standards, starting at 14/1 or lower. However, there is always the chance of a shock winner, as prove by Nick Rockett’s victory at 33/1 in 2025.

Frequently Asked Questions
The date of the first Grand National is sometimes debated among racing historians, but the most commonly held view is that the first true running occurred in 1839. It was won, appropriately, by a horse named Lottery.
With 30 daunting fences to be jumped and 4m2½f to travel, there is no greater test of endurance for both horse and jockey than the Grand National. And that’s if your horse gets into the field of 34!
In its long history, only five horses have won the Grand National at 100/1. They are Tipperary Tim (1928), Gregalach (1929), Caughoo (1947), Foinavon (1967) and Mon Mome (2009).
It used to be relatively common for a mare to win the Grand National. 13 have won the big race, but 10 of those were in the 19th century and no mare has won it since 1951.
Three men can lay claim to having won the most Grand Nationals: George Dockeray (1839, 1840, 1842 and 1852), Fred Rimell (1956, 1961, 1970 and 1976) and Ginger McCain (1973, 1974, 1977 and 2004) all have four wins in the race to their name.
Perhaps the most famous racehorse ever to have lived, Red Rum won three Grand Nationals in the 1970s. He rose to public fame and acclaim during the period and was responsible for three of trainer Ginger McCain’s four victories in the race.
The Grand National features 30 fences, 14 of which are jumped twice and the other pair jumped once. Becher’s Brook, the Canal Turn, Valentine’s Brook and The Chair are all once-a-year names the general public recall with fervour.
A prize pot of £1 million has been declared for the 2026 Grand National with just over half of that total promised to the winner.
Randox will sponsor the 2026 Grand National.
Nick Rockett won the 2025 Grand National for Patrick Mullins and Willie Mullins at odds of 33/1.
Foinavon was arguably the biggest Grand National upset in 1967 when coming from way off the back at 100/1 when there was a pile-up at one fence. The fence is now named in Foinavon’s honour.
