• The Betfair: Grand National 2026.
The final field of 34 for the Grand National at Aintree on Saturday has been revealed – with six reserves waiting in the wings as it stands.
The Willie Mullins-trained I Am Maximus is the market leader with Betfair to win the showpiece race at 6/1 having won it in 2024 and was second last year
Stablemate Grangeclare West is next in the market at 8/1 while the British challenge comes from Jagwar and Jonnywho at 9/1 while defending champion Nick Rockett is a 12/1 chance.
Betfair spokesperson James Mackie said: “Despite having to carry top weight this year, punters are still backing I Am Maximus to retain his Grand National crown for the fearsome-looking Willie Mullins team as he is the 6-1 favourite to regain his crown.
“Grangeclare West, third in the race last year, is second favourite at 8/1 and is followed by Jagwar and Jonnywho, who are both priced at 9/1 and were first and second in the Ultima Handicap at the Cheltenham Festival.
“Last year’s Grand National winner, Nick Rockett, is priced at 12/1 to match the feat of Tiger Roll and win back-to-back Nationals.”
