Grand National 2023 racecard - times and order of running on Thursday, Ladies Day, and Saturday

The 2023 Grand National will take place on Saturday afternoon - but the festival will start on Thursday.

The meeting takes place at Aintree every year, with three top class days of action for fans to enjoy on Merseyside. Although good weather is never certain, one thing that is for certain is that across the three days there will be plenty of drama.

A maximum field of 40 looks assured for the £1million showpiece, with Corach Rambler heading the market for Lucinda Russell. Last year's winner and recent Gold Cup fourth Noble Yeats will bid to join the likes of Red Rum and Tiger Roll as a multiple winner of world's greatest steeplechase.
