We’ve teamed up with William Hill to bring you a free £2 shop bet every day of the Aintree Festival - including on Saturday's Grand National!
The Grand National is a highlight of the British sporting calendar, with 40 horses lining up to take the iconic Aintree fences before a winner is crowned. You'll find a 16 page pullout inside Saturday's paper with all the insight and information you need on the day's runners and riders.
It is a magnificent spectacle, with the Norway spruce fences being an iconic image in the sport. There is also the small matter of a £1 million prize fund up for grabs, with £500,000 on offer for the winner, making it a potentially lucrative day out for owners and trainers.
Winning is not an easy task, however, and there is lots of competition for the crown of Grand National winner. Having won last year from odds of 50/1, Noble Yeats is far better fancied this year and has odds of 17/2 to win.
The defending champion is not the favourite, however, and will face stern competition from joint-favourites Corach Rambler and Delta Work, who are both 8/1 to secure a win.
If you work your way down the list of declared runners, which was released on Thursday, there are several big names who will all be fancied for success this year. Names like Back on the Lash (25/1), part-owned by Harry Redknapp, are likely to be a hit with punters.
There are more sentimental stories in the field as well, with Mister Coffey currently a 50/1 outsider to end trainer Nicky Henderson’s 44 year wait for a Grand National winner.
There are stories throughout, and it is sure to be a fascinating race around the 16 fences at Aintree on Saturday evening. So don't miss out, pick up your Daily Record on Saturday 15 April, 2023 to get your free £2 shop bet with William Hill, valid on any of the day's racing including the Grand National itself PLUS an incredible 16 page pullout special.
