The complete list of runners and riders for the 2024 Grand National is slowly being pared down as the biggest day in the British horse racing calendar edges ever closer.
The Grand National will take place at Aintree on April 13 with a field of 34 set to run the 4m 2f race, reduced from last year’s total of 40 in an attempt to make the contest safer for horses and riders.
There are currently 51 horses declared for the iconic race but this will be reduced to the final 34 on Thursday 11 April – two days before the race itself. The likes of Asterion Forlonge, James Du Berlais and Threeunderthrufive are among the horses to already withdraw, while Hewick – who had been allocated top weight for the race – is now set to run in the Aintree Bowl instead.
Last year’s winner Corach Rambler currently tops the betting market, with odds around 5/1 for the Scottish-trained star to repeat the trick at Aintree this time around. I Am Maximus is currently Willie Mullins’s most-fancied shot, trading at 7/1, while 2023 Grand National runner-up Vanillier can be backed to go one better than that two-and-a-quarter-length defeat 12 months ago at 9/1 on betting sites.
