The confirmations have been completed for the 2025 Grand National on Saturday, 5th April. With a few non-runners among the initial top 34, there could now be seven greys among the 34-strong field, with Duffle Coat on the cut line to race, and Hyland now among those guaranteed a run.
An imperious seven-and-a-half length winner of the race last April, I Am Maximus will attempt to emulate the legendary Tiger Roll by winning back-to-back Grand Nationals and he is currently spearheading the ante-post betting for the spring showpiece. He will be the shining beacon for the Willie Mullins stable who have ten entries in the contest including recent Thyestes Handicap Chase and Bobbyjo Chase winner Nick Rockett, who could be another primary figure for the Closutton team. Over half of the entries for the 2025 Grand National are Irish-trained horses.
Henry De Bromhead’s Minella Indo was a fine third in the race last season and the former Cheltenham Gold Cup winner is another star name amongst the list of entries for a race that will take shape over the coming months before it’s whittled down to a final field of 34 runners.
Iroko has been uttered as a leading contender for Britain and the seven-year-old has been given an entry by trainers Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero and he’s currently second favourite in the latest ante-post betting for the event.
Impressive winner of the Coral Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Newbury earlier in the season, Kandoo Kid is another home-trained runner that catches the eye in the long list of entries and he will be aiming to hand Paul Nicholls glory in the race.
A performer that has shone in the Cross Country sphere this season, Gavin Cromwell’s Stumptown is an eye-catching entry, while the likes of Intense Raffles, Minella Cocooner and Beauport just highlight what a classy race it is these days and could all take their chance.
