Over 500 million worldwide viewers are expected to tune into the world's most famous horse race, as up to 40 jockeys don their racing colours, jump 16 fences and the hope to win the £1million prize at the Grand National 2022. The legendary four-mile race first started in 1839 and was won by the aptly named 'Lottery' at odds of 5/1, while there have been winners as far out at 100/1.
However, it isn't just Saturday's main event which attracts enormous attention. Friday is Ladies Day at Aintree and more than 50,000 spectators are expected to descend on the racecourse for the first time in two years. Renowned for being a day to wow with stunning fashion choices, Friday still has seven top-class races for punters to get stuck into.
Racing starts at 13:45pm with a handicap hurdle, which will see 22 runners going to post and concludes at 17:15pm, which features 17 amateur jockeys take on a handicap hurdle. Some races have major favourites backed to emerge victorious and present little value when betting, but their remains plenty of great each-way tips eyed to perform on one of racing's biggest stages.
