The world's most famous horse race is just a few hours away.
Crowds are flocking to Aintree for the 2022 Grand National, worth a cool £1million in total prize money. The 40 runners and riders line up with the aim of completing the four-and-a-quarter mile course, with 30 jumps along the way.
With all of them made of spruce, it is the unique contest of National Hunt racing run in Britain. In 2020 the event was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic and racegoers return for the first time since 2019.
