The biggest race day of the year is here with the 2025 Grand National taking centre stage this afternoon.

A thrilling week of action at Aintree concludes today with once-a-year punters looking to bag a winner.

The Willy Mullins-trained horse is among the favourites this afternoon along with Irish Grand National winner Intense Raffles, Iroko and Stumptown.

Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Inothewayurthinkin appeared to be in contention try and seal a famous double at Aintree but he was one of 11 horses withdrawn from the final lineup this week.
