You can also find a form guide on the horses home page, which gives you the latest on all the runners and riders for this year’s big race.
The Aintree Grand National is sure to be thrilling this year, with so many great betting opportunities. If you are going to have a bet on a long shot, this is surely the race to do it as the percentage of fallers to runners is always quite high. This means the Grand National odds may not necessarily reflect the chance the horse has to win.
History is regularly made at Aintree and the winning Grand National horse will need to display courage, stamina, experience, precision and staying power if they are to join the pantheon of greats. You can be a part of this great event by selecting who will be this year’s addition to the long and illustrious list of winners and placing your bet now.
To help you select your bet, the Ladbrokes tipsters have been busy compiling facts and tips to make things easier, so read the following carefully and then check out the Grand National odds on the horses home page.
Last year’s event saw just 12 of 40 runners complete the course, so as you consider your Grand National odds, thoroughly research the horse’s injury record before placing your bet using the form guide on the horses home page. The Grand National odds will change to reflect this before the race, but good value can be found if you place your bet now and your horse lines up injury free on the day.
The age of a Grand National runner could prove to be crucial to the outcome of the race. Whilst experience is a plus when tackling the tricky fences, agility and precision are equally as important! So consider the fact that the average age of a Grand National winner is eight or nine. However, there are always exceptions to every rule and the great Red Rum was always exceptional, winning the race at the ripe old age of 12!
One final tip to consider as you examine your Grand National odds is that history favours horses with previous Aintree experience, so look for horses who ran in previous races.
