GoKawiilThe 178th Grand National is upon us, with 34 declared runners set to tackle the intimidating fences of the world's most famous horse race.
With last year's winner Nick Rockett having withdrawn earlier this week following a bout of coughing, 2024 champion I Am Maximus has emerged as this year's favorite. The French-bred bay gelding is one of eight horses on the field from Irish trainer Willie Mullins' stable.
Dan Skelton-trained Panic Attack, meanwhile, is widely tipped to become the first mare in 75 years to win the 4-mile race.
The Grand National takes place at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. The horses are set to get under starter's orders on Saturday, April 11 at 4 p.m. BST local time in the UK (8 a.m. PT or 11 a.m. ET in the US and Canada, and 1 a.m. AEST on Sunday, April 12, in Australia).
