The Grand National takes place on Saturday afternoon at Aintree, with 40 horses vying for the biggest prize of the National Hunt calendar.
It is also one of the biggest days for betting all year, with many allocating one day a year to 'have a flutter' on the most recognisable horse race in Britain. The huge fences are always a big challenge for horses taking part and the iconic Norway spruce hedges provide one of the sternest tests in the sport.
There are 16 fences to be navigated, with 14 of those taken twice as 40 horses compete for a share of a £1 million prize pot. Corach Rambler is favourite for the race, with the Lucinda Russell trained nine -year-old currently being 13/2 ahead of last year's winner Noble Yeats, who is 8/1 alongside Cheltenham Festival winner Delta Work.
