Last year's winner Minella Times heads the final 40 runners for Saturday's 2022 Randox Grand National at Aintree Racecourse. But there three changes to the line-up as Phoenix Way, Easysland and Lord Du Mesnil were declared non-runners meaning three reserves Commodore, School Boy Hours and Romain De Senam replaced them.
Commodore, who won on his only start of the season at Cheltenham in December, is currently a best-priced 40-1 with Bet365. Despite being bottom weights all three reserves will carry the number of the horse they replace. Commodore will take over Pheonix Way's No.33, School Boy Hours will take Easysland's No.3 and Romain De Senam takes Lord Du Mesnil's No.17.
Charlie Longsdon's Becher Chase heroine – and 'mum' Snow Leopardess – is the 9-1 favourite with William Hill. Last year's third, Ted Walsh's Any Second Now, is 10-1 with the same bookmakers. While 2021 hero Minella Times is now an 11-1 chance with Unibet.
