Grand National 2025: Current runners, last year's winner and when final list is announced
The 2025 Grand National is now just days away and the excitement is rising ahead of one of the most historic days in the British sporting calendar.
Over 150,000 racing enthusiasts will descend on Liverpool’s Aintree racecourse as a whole host of horses, jockets, trainers and owners look to write their names into the long and proud history of the grandest race in the racing calendar. The likes of Red Rum, Tiger Roll and Reynoldstown have already taken their place in the history books by providing some memorable moments on the famous old course.

Which horse and jockey won the 2024 Grand National?
The buildup to the 2024 Grand National was dominated by talk of a straight shootout between joint favourites Limerick Lace and I Am Maximus - and it was the latter that was first past the post as the Willie Mullins trained eight-year-old became the latest winner of the most prestigious race in the British horse racing calendar. With Paul Townend on board, I Am Maximus took the lead after the final fence and saw off the challenges from Delta Work, Minella Indo and Galvin to win by seven lengths. Fellow joint favourite Limerick Lace ended the race in tenth place.
Speaking after the race, winning jockey Townend said: "What an unbelievable race and unbelievable horse. The feeling passing the line is up there with the best I've had, but it's a different feeling. Grade Ones are extra special and tactical and in the Irish National and English National you need a bit of luck, the feeling winning this is unique."
I Am Maximus will be back again this year looking to become the first horse since the legendary Tiger Roll to claim successive Grand National wins - but he will face major challenges from across an open field.
