The protest group Animal Rising have called on animal lovers to join them this Saturday as they bid to sabotage the Grand National.
The steeplechase over more than four miles is the race that captures the imagination of the country more than any other. Punters flock to betting shops around the nation before the Aintree showpiece, with thousands more in attendance at the racecourse.
As a result it has been the platform for protests in the past as animal rights activists take issue with the treatment of horses. This year is no different and on Saturday Animal Rising, who've had their plans exposed by the national press, are looking to make a point at Aintree and want to further increase their numbers.
