What Can We Expect at this Year’s Grand National Meeting?
Although there’s plenty of fantastic action across the final day card, it’s clear the feature race is the Grand National, arguably the biggest race in the National Hunt calendar. Last year’s winner Corach Rambler is set to be a much shorter price even than the 8/1 he went off in 2023, but he’s progressed to finish third in a Gold Cup since then and looks set to make a bold bid of emulating Tiger Roll and winning back-to-back Grand Nationals.
There are plenty of other big names set to take him on though, including last year’s runner-up Vanillier and Irish Grand National winner I Am Maximus.
