1. NOBLE YEATS - 20/1
NOBLE YEATS, who triumphed in the National at 50-1 odds two years ago and managed a commendable fourth place last year, has proven his ability over both the course and distance. He could perform well again, though the increased weight may challenge his bid to reclaim the title—a feat not achieved since the legendary Red Rum in the 1970s. This season, he has been exclusively campaigned over hurdles instead of the larger fences.

2. NASSALAM - 22/1
NASSALAM emerged as a runaway victor of the Welsh Grand National by an impressive 35 lengths on heavy ground in December, but he was pulled up in the Cheltenham Gold Cup. His jockey has just returned from a broken collarbone. This entry marks the trainer’s first in this race, and he has expressed dissatisfaction with the weight assigned to his horse. The trainer is also notably the father of jockeys Ryan, Josh, and the recently retired Jamie, and his daughter Hayley is a racing broadcaster

3. COKO BEACH (25/1)
Finishing eighth two years ago and being pulled up last year might not immediately suggest a National winner, but COKO BEACH has shown strong form this season, notably defeating Limerick Lace to win the Troytown Chase at Navan. He is attempting to become just the fourth grey horse to win the National. Notably, Neptune Collonges achieved this feat in 2012, the first since Nicolaus Silver 51 years earlier.

Sporting the green and gold colors of owner JP McManus' favorite South Liberties GAA hurling club, CAPODANNO is one of several runners representing these colors. He clinched victory in the Cotswold Chase in January and then placed fourth in the Ryanair Chase at the Cheltenham Festival last month. After being pulled up in the later stages of last year's Grand National, he still has stamina concerns to address in this year's race.

5. I AM MAXIMUS - 7/1
Last year's Irish National champion I AM MAXIMUS, appears primed for success after a victorious run in the Bobbyjo Chase this past February. His trainer hailed the win as "magnificent" and views him as a potential contender for next year's Cheltenham Gold Cup. This victory occurred after the Grand National weights were announced, suggesting he might be well-positioned weight-wise. However, his jumping technique will need to improve to effectively challenge his rivals.

6. MINELLA INDO - 22/1
MINELLA INDO achieved a notable victory in the 2021 Cheltenham Gold Cup for his trainer, who also celebrated a Grand National win with stablemate Minella Times a month later, marking a historic moment as Rachael Blackmore became the first female jockey to win the race. More recently, the horse finished fourth in the Cross Country Chase at Cheltenham in December. The key question now is whether he still retains his past form. It's worth noting that only two horses have completed the Gold Cup-National double, with L'Escargot being the last to do so in 1975.

7. CORACH RAMBLER - 6/1
The 2023 Grand National winner CORACH RAMBLER, trained by the same Scottish trainer who succeeded with One For Arthur seven years earlier, returns with an additional stone in weight. However, this two-time Cheltenham Festival winner demonstrated his fitness by securing a third-place finish in last month's Gold Cup. With strong backing following that performance, he is now aiming to become only the second horse, after Tiger Roll, to win the National twice since Red Rum's dominance in the 1970s.

After finishing third in the Irish Gold Cup and then second in the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham two years ago, JANIDIL has yet to secure a victory in races longer than two and a half miles, the Grand National extends beyond four miles. While it's challenging to discount any horse trained by this dominant Irish trainer, who claimed nine of the 27 wins at last month's Cheltenham Festival, it seems he may have stronger contenders in this race.

STATTLER last triumphed in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham two years ago but has competed sparingly since then. Owned by Ronnie Bartlett, the head of a potato company, there are hopes he can outperform the competition despite his long odds. Bartlett also owns Galvin, who might be the stronger choice in crucial moments.

MAHLER MISSION marks the first National runner for the trainer, who narrowly missed the chance in 2021 with first reserve Some Neck. Last year, he was on the brink of winning the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham but fell just two fences from the finish. Since then, he has been saved for this race, coming off a strong performance as runner-up in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury in December. He would greatly benefit from soft ground. This challenge looks like a mission possible.

DELTA WORK placed third in the 2022 Grand National and was performing well last year until a near fall at the 21st fence led to his rider being unseated. He has twice claimed victory in the Cross Country Chase at Cheltenham, showcasing his adaptability and resilience. He is among several entries for a trainer who is aiming to equal the record with a fourth victory in this race, following successes with Silver Birch in 2007 and Tiger Roll in 2018 and 2019.

12. FOXY JACKS - 33/1
FOXY JACKS emerges as an intriguing contender for trainer Mouse Morris, known for his shrewd approach. He secured a victory at the Midlands National at Kilbeggan last summer and triumphed in the Cross Country Chase at Cheltenham in November, outpacing Latenightpass. Morris previously captured a poignant Grand National victory in 2016 with Rule The World, which came a year after the tragic death of his son Tiffer, who died from carbon monoxide poisoning during a holiday in Argentina. This background adds a layer of emotional depth to his participation in this year's race.

Last year, GALVIN unseated jockey Davy Russell at the first fence, an incident that occurred after a tense delay caused by race protesters. He is one of multiple entries for a trainer who felt he was favorably placed when the weights were announced in February. Although he captured the National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham Festival three years ago, he is currently trying to break a seven-race losing streak. The combination of past performance and current challenges makes his upcoming race particularly interesting to watch.

14. FAROUK D'ALENE - 80/1
FAROUK D'ALENE showed promise in his novice chasing season of 2021-22 but then faced over 600 days away from the track, and since returning, he hasn't demonstrated his previous capabilities. There are other runners representing Gigginstown House Stud, owned by Ryanair's Michael O'Leary and his brother Eddie, that seem to have stronger chances. A victory for any of their entries would be notable, as it would make them the first owners to achieve four Grand National wins, a milestone that would certainly have them flying high in the racing world.

The grey, ELDORADO ALLEN placed fourth in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury last December, showcasing his capabilities. He previously secured a win in the 2022 Denman Chase and took second place in both the Charlie Hall and Betfair Chases. While there are concerns that the longer distance might test his stamina, especially as he was pulled up at last month's Cheltenham Festival, his peak form cannot be entirely discounted. Adding an interesting note to his story, the jockey's father, Brendan Powell Sr, famously rode Rhyme 'N' Reason to victory in the 1988 Grand National.

An amateur jockey who is also a real estate entrepreneur purchasedAIN'T THAT A SHAME specifically to secure his first ride in the National. The horse demonstrated strong performance for much of the race last year, though stamina issues ultimately hindered his finish, placing him last among the 17 that completed the course. Notably, Rachael Blackmore, a celebrated jockey, previously rode him to victory in the Thyestes Chase at Gowran Park in January, showcasing the horse's capabilities under skilled guidance.

17. VANILLIER - 8/1
VANILLIER featured in our guide performed impressively last year, finishing as the runner-up to Corach Rambler. This time, he is 9lb better off compared to his previous rival, which could enhance his competitive edge. Plans are likely in place for him to be ridden more prominently, adjusting from last year's strategy where he finished strong but couldn't overtake the leader. Most recently, he was significantly outpaced by I Am Maximus in the Bobbyjo Chase at Fairyhouse, but the adjusted strategy and weight advantage could make a significant difference in his upcoming performance.

MR INCREDIBLE is known for his unpredictable nature, having refused to race in the past, but he emerges as one of the more credible contenders if he is in good spirits on race day. Last year, his saddle slipped, causing him to unseat his rider while performing well at the Canal Turn during the second round. Recently, he showcased his potential by finishing second under top weight on heavy ground in the Midlands Grand National, which seems to have been ideal preparation. If he remains cooperative, he could be a strong contender in the upcoming race.

19. RUN WILD FRED - 100/1
This horse, once among the favorites for the Grand National two years ago, encountered setbacks, falling at the Canal Turn on the first circuit and again in the Irish version just nine days later. While he secured second place in the 2021 Irish National, his recent performances have been less inspiring. He was pulled up in two of his last three races, including making jumping errors in his most recent outing at Cheltenham. This track record may temper enthusiasm for his upcoming performance in the Grand National.

This jockey trainer duo brings a unique family dynamic to the race, with the jockey riding for her husband, who has recently acquired a full training license specifically to enter a runner in the National together. LATENIGHTPASS has shown strong performances under this rider, notably in the Foxhunters' Chase over the National fences, where it finished fourth, first, and second. However, the Grand National presents a significantly longer distance, adding a challenge to their campaign. Adding to the familial aspect, the trainer's mother both bred and owns the horse, making it a true family endeavor in this prestigious event.

At the beginning of last season, MINELLA CROONER clinched a narrow victory over I Am Maximus, which was a promising result. However, his subsequent performances have been less impressive, including a significant defeat by the same rival at Fairyhouse in February. He showed some promise by staying on to finish third at Tramore on New Year's Day, but his recent performance at Cheltenham last month, where he was pulled up in the Ultima Chase, dampens enthusiasm. Given his recent form, one might prefer to support a different contender over Crooner in the upcoming races.

ADAMANTLY CHOSEN secured his spot in the National with a convincing win over Roi Mage at Down Royal last month, leading to his odds being slashed for the big race. However, his performance in December, where he was significantly outpaced by Meetingofthewaters, suggests that optimal conditions, particularly drier ground, might be necessary for him to perform at his best. While the trainer boasts a roster of strong contenders, this horse does not appear to be the primary choice from the stable. This assessment might influence strategies and expectations leading up to the race.

MAC TOTTIE has certainly made a name for himself at Aintree, claiming his third victory at the track for his Welsh trainer in December during a veterans' handicap chase. He has also demonstrated proficiency over the National course's distinctive fences, with wins in the 2022 Topham Chase and the 2021 Grand Sefton Chase. However, the upcoming race presents a more formidable challenge, and there are concerns that the marathon distance of the Grand National could be overly taxing for him. Adding a personal element to the story, the trainer's son will be in the saddle, continuing the family's involvement in this prestigious event.

When the weights for the race were announced in February, the trainer highlighted CHEMICAL ENERGY as one of his top prospects. He performed admirably last season, finishing a commendable second in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham, although he was later pulled up in the Irish Grand National. His strongest performances, including a significant victory over Mahler Mission in 2022, have come on good ground. Therefore, wet weather conditions could potentially hinder his chances of success, suggesting that he may not be at his best if the track is softer than preferred.

LIMERICK LACE showcased her talent by winning the mares' chase at last month's Cheltenham Festival, marking her third victory in four starts this season. However, the upcoming race presents a new challenge as it is significantly longer than any distance she has previously attempted. Her jockey has expressed confidence by choosing her over Meetingofthewaters, indicating a belief in her potential to handle the extended distance. She is owned by Limerick-born billionaire JP McManus, who is aiming for his third major victory in this race, following successes with Don't Push It in 2010 and Minella Times three years ago. This entry could be a compelling dark horse in the lineup, carrying the hopes of her seasoned owner.

MEETINGOFTHEWATERS showed strong form with a solid win at Leopardstown in December and then secured third place in the Ultima Chase at Cheltenham. He has been well-supported in the lead-up to this race, indicating confidence from bettors. Adding an intriguing twist to his story, he was recently purchased by owner JP McManus, often dubbed 'The Sundance Kid' due to his gambling prowess, from Paul Byrne just before his last race. This change of ownership mirrors a notable precedent: Byrne also sold Noble Yeats just weeks before the Grand National, who then triumphed in 2022 under Robert Waley-Cohen, highlighting a potentially auspicious change for this well-backed contender.

He also finished fourth in the same race the previous year, a race won by the eventual National champion, Corach Rambler. Furthermore, he was pulled up in the 2023 Irish National. Given these performances, it appears that other entries might have a stronger chance of success in this race.

He's also in a better position regarding the weights compared to last year's top two finishers, Corach Rambler and Vanillier, and would benefit from soft ground conditions. Trained by the veteran 82-year-old Patrick Griffin and his son James, he is among just a few horses in their stable. Adding to the intrigue, three of the current owners were part of the team that celebrated a victory with the 66-1 longshot Auroras Encore in the 2013 National, bringing a storied history to their participation this year.

While he has only one win over fences, which was at nearly half the distance of this race, his recent performances suggest he might handle the longer distance better than expected, particularly under challenging conditions.

GALIA DES LITEAUX is aiming to make history as the first to win since Nickel Coin in 1951. She demonstrated her stamina and potential by finishing strongly in second place at the Classic Chase in Warwick this January. Adding to her interesting backstory, her jockey is the brother of a jockey who rides for the only British trainer to secure more than one victory at last month's Cheltenham Festival—where he notched four wins in total. Both brothers are sons of Nick, an Olympic gold medalist in showjumping, which highlights a rich family tradition in equestrian sports. Her upcoming race could be a significant moment, not just for her but also for her storied family.

Owned by the Old Pals Partnership, he managed a fifth-place finish in last year’s Irish National, showing some potential. His jockey, fresh from a victory in this year's Irish National on Easter Monday riding Intense Raffles, is aiming to achieve a notable National double. The trainer, who successfully claimed the Grand National title with Numbersixvalverde in 2006, brings significant experience and past success into the mix. This combination of factors could influence Panda Boy's performance, making him a noteworthy, if not definitive, choice for consideration.

Despite this, he showed promise in earlier stages of his career as a novice chaser. Fans from a specific area of Greater Manchester might find an additional local connection intriguing: the horse's dam is named Rochdale, linking him to the area. Currently, Minella Indo is considered the leading contender from his stable, indicating that while this horse has an interesting background, he might not be the top bet for upcoming races.

The trainer is known for preparing horses that perform well on soft and heavy ground, reminiscent of her success with the 100-1 longshot Mon Mome 15 years ago. A win in the Grand National would not only add another impressive feat to their records but also mark a historic first: the first female jockey-trainer partnership to clinch victory in this prestigious race. This adds an intriguing layer of significance to their participation.

Last year, KITTY'S LIGHT achieved an impressive treble, winning the now sponsored betting.bet Eider Chase, Scottish Grand National, and the Bet365 Gold Cup, showcasing his endurance and versatility. However, his performance might be less optimal on overly soft ground. He is aiming to become only the second Welsh-trained victor of this race since Kirkland in 1905, adding a historical dimension to his campaign. His potential victory would be particularly meaningful for his laid-back trainer, who has garnered substantial support from the racing community after his young daughter Betsy was diagnosed with leukemia. A win would not only be a triumph in sports but also a heartfelt moment of joy for his family and supporters.
