Aintree ambassador announced for Randox Grand National 2023

Boxer Natasha Jonas has been announced as the Aintree ambassador for the 2023 Randox Grand National.

The announcement follows Jonas' points victory over the previously unbeaten Patricia Berghult in a title-unifying bout at the M&S Bank Arena, where she added the WBC super-welterweight belt to the WBO title she already held. She will join jockeys Rachael Blackmore and Ruby Walsh as ambassadors of the three-day racing event.

During the summer holidays, Aintree hosted the Trevor Hemmings Learn to Ride Summer School, organised by Toxteth-based Park Palace Ponies and The Jockey Club. Jonas took some time out of her fight preparation to join Grand National-winning jockey, Rachael Blackmore and Liverpool FC stars Leighanne Robe and Niamh Fahey for a sporting masterclass at the racecourse.
