It's estimated that more than 10 million people in the UK will watch the Randox Health sponsored Grand National in 2018. Millions of more people around the world will follow the race to see which horse triumphs in the Aintree Spectacular on Saturday 14th April 2021.
The Grand National is famed for its unpredictable nature and rightly so, in the past century five 100/1 shots have triumphed over the famous fences. However, the Grand National is far less of a lottery than many people believe. Trends and statistics have emerged over the last 20 years which can help you identify those runners who have the potential to run a big race. Whether you decide to follow the trends and stats or choose your horse based on its name, silk colour or jockey riding we can tell you everything you need to know about this year's hopefuls.
Along with those watching at home, a 70,000 strong crowd will be at Aintree racecourse to cheer on the horses from the first fence to the final furlong.
