Here are Chris Wright's top 10 runners and riders who have the best chance of winning the 2023 Grand National Festival at Aintree Racecourse. on Saturday.
1. AIN'T THAT A SHAME (trainer: Henry De Bromhead, jockey: Rachael Blackmore – TBC)
Henry De Bromhead’s nine-year-old looks like a progressive young Irish chaser. Finished 13th in the Kim Muir at last year’s Cheltenham Festival, but has improved with each run this season. Second to fellow National hopeful The Big Dog in the Munster National and good fourth to Real Steal in the Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown at Christmas. Won for the first time over fences at Gowran Park last time. Could improve further for step up in trip and has a chance of making the frame.
