Our predictions for the 2024 Aintree Randox Grand National
To win the 2024 Randox Grand National
I Am Maximus 8/1 Was ridden in rear a long way in the Irish Grand National on soft ground last April but still got up on the line to win. Sets him up perfectly for this longer trip but he has also upped his game with 2 wins over 2m 4f and 3m 1f at Fairyhouse, beating Vanillier easily by 14 lengths over the 3m 1f trip. Looks well handicapped, can jump markedly left handed so jumping is the major concern here, has conditions to suit if heavy on race day.
We will give 3 Each-way Picks for this years race
Mahler Mission 16/1 Usually a front-runner or races prominently. Ran great in last years NH Chase at the Cheltenham Festival when 4 lengths clear before falling 2 out, has left stamina as a question for this. Resumed improvement when 2nd in big 3m 2f handicap at Newbury in November when last seen, up 7lbs but should improve more.
Noble Yeats 22/1 2022 Grand National Winner and fourth last year but was ridden out the back and never got near the leaders. Has been hurdling this season, winning a Grade 2 along the way but came up short when connections tried cheekpieces at the Cheltenham Festival one month ago. Only 1lb lower then last year but has stamina in abundance which will be good if its a slog.
Kitty's Light 14/1 Stormed home in major staying chases in the Eider over 4m 1f, The Scottish National over 4m and at Sandown over 3m 4f has worn cheekpieces with a tongue-tie last two occasions. Uncompetitive this term and the handicapper has only dropped him 1lb, Ground is an unknown but stable says he has blossomed since Cheltenham. he will be suited by every inch of this trip if back on form.
Lets hope for a good competitive renewal of the Randox Grand National this year and all horses and jockeys come home safe with no injuries. Good luck if your having a bet.
