How many fences in Grand National 2022? Becher's Brook and The Chair height

The Grand National features some of the most memorable fences on the National Hunt calendar, with Beecher's Brook featuring on the 4 mile 514 yard course.

It is the longest race on the National Hunt calendar and takes in 30 fences in the two laps of the course, with 16 fences on the course, 14 of them to be jumped twice.
