The Grand National 2024 results are in, and it’s I Am Maximus (7/1) who will go down in the history books as the winner of this year’s race. Last year’s winner Corach Rambler, who was also the favourite going into the race, fell at the very first hurdle, meaning that iut was guaranteed early-on that we’d be getting a new winner this year. And it’s I Am Maximus, ridden by Paul Townend, who takes the crown for 2024. At a period, it looked like the impressive Rachael Blackmore was set for another big win, with Minella Indo (28/1) leading the race in the final stretch, but Townend managed to see o ..read more

The 2024 iteration of the Sean Bowen Grand National blog sees the leading jockey preview all his rides at Aintree tomorrow, including The Goffer in the big race at 4pm. Sean Bowen Grand National blo 1:20 Aintree – Bugise Seagull I’ve won on him twice before, and he’s a nice straightforward horse who jumps well and tries hard for you. Hopefully the ground has dried out slightly by the time this race goes off as I don’t think he’d want it properly heavy. It does look a competitive race, and he’s up against it on ratings, but hopefully he can run well, and I’m sure he’ll be a nice horse for the f ..read more

Coral ambassador and retired jockey Tom Scudamore has, as has been the case for the previous days at Aintree, given his Grand National day picks. Tom Scudamore’s Grand National day picks 1:20 Aintree  I’d have massive respect for Johnnywho in this, and I thought he’d run a big race in the Albert Bartlett, but things just didn’t pan out for him that day. Having said that, the one I really like here is Gwennie May Boy for Dan Skelton. He won well last time at Uttoxeter, I think Aintree will suit him, and this is only his third start for Dan, and when these types of horses start improving, y ..read more

The latest Joe Tizzard blog sees the leading trainer and Coral ambassador preview his Grand National runner ahead of tomorrow’s prestigious event. Joe Tizzard blog Aintree 4.00  – Eldorado Allen As a horse rated in the 150s, Eldorado Allen was one of the few British-trained Grand National entries guaranteed a spot in the field of 34, so this has been the target for a while.  His fourth place in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury in December was a terrific run, he really galloped all the way through the line that day, so that’s what made us aim him at this National trip.  I admit it d ..read more

Ahead of tomorrow’s race one of the biggest events in the horse racing calendar, Coral presents its Grand National runner-by-runner guide, giving punters an insight into each horse competing in this weekend’s race. Coral’s runner-by-runner Grand National guide 1. Noble Yeats Won this off a whopping 18lb lower mark two years ago, and ran a solid race again off this sort of mark when fourth last year. Has been running well in graded company over hurdles this year, and while there’s every chance that he’ll hit the frame once again, it would be a surprise if there weren’t a few better treated ..read more

Ahead of the 2024 Grand National this weekend, we’re back with another Joe Tizzard Aintree blog from the trainer and Coral ambassador where he previews his runner on Friday. Joe Tizzard’s Aintree day one preview blog Joe Tizzard Aintree Blog Aintree 4.05 – Killer Kane Killer Kane was third in this race 12 months ago, off a mark three pounds higher than this time, and on ground that was soft enough, if not quite as testing as it might be this year.  It just didn’t work for him at Cheltenham, there was a false start and then on the restart he just got pushed back and missed the break ..read more

Ahead of the Grand National on Saturday, the Tom Scudamore Aintree blog is back with the retired jockey giving his picks for day two’s races. Tom Scudamore day one preview and picks Tom Scudamore Aintree blog 1:45 Aintree This is a cracking little race, but I was delighted with how Giovinco ran at Cheltenham, and I think he’ll run really well again here. You’d have to respect Inothewayurthinkin after his win in the Kim Muir, but this is a big step up from that sort of form, and I just think Giovinco’s third in the Brown Advisory is one of the standout pieces of form in this race. Giovinco bett ..read more

Ahead of the 2024 Grand National this weekend, back with another Joe Tizzard blog from the trainer and Coral ambassador where he previews his runners at Aintree and Taunton on Thursday. Joe Tizzard blog Aintree 4.40 – Triple Trade We’ll have a small team running at Aintree this week, including Eldorado Allen in the big one on Saturday, of which more later in the week.  We run Triple Trade in the Red Rum Chase, and fortunately, given all the rain that’s fallen, he will love the testing ground.  He’s been really progressive in the last 12 months, winning four times, For a lot of that t ..read more

Ahead of the 2024 Grand National, the first instalment of the 2024 Tom Scudamore Aintree Blog sees the retired jockey preview all the action and give his picks for the first day’s races. Tom Scudamore Aintree Blog 1:45 Aintree It’s always tricky trying to weigh up how the Cheltenham form is going to carry over to Aintree, but I’d suspect Grey Dawning will confirm the form with Ginny’s Destiny on this flatter track. Most of Ginny’s Destiny’s good form has come at Cheltenham, so it might just be that that stiffer test suits him, so I’m not surprised to see Dan’s horse at the head of the market ..read more
