Another superstar from trainer Willie Mullins but will Gaillard Du Mesnil run at Aintree or will he take his chances at Cheltenham? Has a good chase if he runs in Liverpool.

Moved from Henry De Bromhead to Willie Mullins a year ago, rested for summer and has returned this season with two starts. Brought down in the first but did much better last time out at Warwick, finishing second over 3m5f so stamina not an issue.

Was entered and given top weight last year but was withdrawn so will he get a chance in the 2023 Grand National? Won the Savills Chase last time out and looks like he’s heading to Cheltenham first.

Went off as one of the race favourites in 2021 and 2022 but was pipped to the post both times. Could go well again in 2023.

There’s a reason Galvin was handed near top-weight, he is an exceptional chaser and Gold Cup contender though form this season has been less than ideal. Also has options in the Irish Grand National.

With nine chase starts and eight places, this is a horse to keep in mind for an each way chance. A handy 3-miler, let’s hope he has the stamina to go the full distance.

Was 4th at Aintree back in November in the Grand Sefton and is usually in the money so could be one for each way consideration.

Lightly chased and still a novice but Capodanno is making all the right noises. However, hasn’t been seen this season yet so form is debatable.

Having a great season with two wins before finishing third in the Coral Welsh National in December. Looks like all roads are pointing to Aintree.

Vanillier is a decent horse but not one that looks likely to mount a serious challenge for the 2023 Grand National. That said, will carry a lot less weight than normal which will help his chances.
NO. 38 | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: -636F2 | WEIGHT: 10-06 | AGE: 8 | TRAINER: G. CROMWELL

Quick Wave looks like she ticks a lot of boxes for this year’s race. Three seasonal runs, winning two of them, all of them long distance, all with heavy weights and likes the ground Good to Soft. Could really shake things up!
NO. 25 | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM:

Has been on a roll this season winning at both Ascot and Kempton however, they were both at 3 miles and realistically he has never been tested beyond that distance.

The only runner to make it into the top 40 following the first scratching deadline but is unlikely to really make an impact in the 2023 Grand National. Has never won a chase, has only started at more than 3m once, and more likely to run in the Irish Grand National.
NO. 40 | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 220-24 | WEIGHT: 10-05 | AGE: 9 | TRAINER: H. DE BROMHEAD

Great chase record with two wins and six places from nine starts. Could head to Cheltenham first but if he runs in the 2023 Grand National, ticks a lot of boxes.
NO. 8 | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 2-3133 | WEIGHT: 11-06 | AGE: 9 | TRAINER: G. ELLIOTT

Won the Irish Grand National last year and has a couple of races to warm up this season. Can he dominate Aintree in 2023 the way he did at Fairyhouse last April?

Was out of action for nearly three years and only returned to racing in December 2022 with a so-so performance. However, a month later in January 2023, he was a winner at Gowran Park.

A surprise to many, he actually finished in 8th place in last year’s Grand National. Not to be written off completely but also hasn’t had a win since he was a novice two years ago.

On excellent form this season notching up a win at Aintree over hurdles in November, before a second place at Newbury in the Coral Gold Cup and then another win at Kempton over Christmas – ticking a lot of boxes.

A really solid chaser that finished second in the King George at Newbury in December. Will be handed a hefty weight and may not even run in the 2023 Grand National.

The 2023 Randox Health Grand National will take place on Saturday 15th April 2023. Antepost odds listed on this page are taken from Paddy Power (8/03/2023). Check the odds with your Bookmaker before placing a bet as fluctuations can occur. Full Terms and Conditions for the promotional bet offers can be found on the respective websites – please read them before signing up.
Odds are, in essence, a very simple representation of the amount of money returned on a winning bet, but they also signal a horses expected chances of winning.
However, as you can see from the odds at the top of this page, not all horses are priced at 40/1. This is because some horses in the race are known to be better than others and the really good horses attract lots of bets.
Bookmakers don’t like to take lots of bets on one horse because if that horse wins, the bookmaker will lose money! So the bookmaker will offer more attractive (larger) odds on other horses in an effort to get people to back those instead.
The Bookie will always aim to make a profit regardless of the outcome of the race, and that’s why you will see the odds fluctuating right until they’re off.
For many people, the appeal of the Grand National is down to the fact that longshots have won the race in the past. Winners have returned victorious at odds of 100/1, including Mon Mome in 2009 and famously Foinavon in 1967.
In 2022 Noble Yeats started at 80/1 before eventually going off at 50/1. In 2013 Auroras Encore backers cheered when he powered to a nine-length victory at 66/1. In fact, the average odds of the winning horse since 1990 have been around 20/1.

What Do The Numbers In Odds Mean?
You’ll most often see odds displayed like this: 5/1, 10/1, 25/1 and all the way up to 100/1 and sometimes even higher. But what do these numbers represent?
In the examples above the first numbers: 5, 10, 25 and 100 represent the returned amount for a winning £1 bet. A winning £1 bet at 10/1 will return £10 plus you’ll also get your original £1 stake back.
Occasionally you’ll see short priced odds like this: 5/2 or 6/5 the numbers look different, but the principle is the same. For example 5/2 is another way of saying 2.5/1 if you bet £1 at 5/2 and your horse wins you’ll get £2.50 in return (plus your stake).
How Does Each Way Betting Affect Odds
When you back a horse eachway you’re betting it will finish in either 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th positions. (BETFAIR usually payout on eachway bets to 5 places in the Grand National – please check before betting.)
If you make a £10 Eachway bet the total cost will be £20, that’s because you’re actually making two bets with the bookmaker, one bet that the horse will finish 1st and another that it will place in either 2nd, 3rd or 4th position (and 5th with Betfair). Of course you can lower your stake to ‘£5 eachway’ and then the total cost of the bet will be reduced to just £10.
Lets say you’ve had a £10 eachway (£20 total cost) at odds of 10/1 and your horse romps home in first place – how much do you win? Well, you’ve got £10 @ 10/1 = £100, PLUS you also get 1/4th the quoted odds on the place part of the bet, which is £10 @ 2.5/1 = £25 giving you a total of £125 and don’t forget you also get your original £20 stake returned too.
Should your horse finish in either 2nd, 3rd or 4th position, known as a ‘place’ you will win £25 plus the £10 ‘place’ part of your original £20 stake will be returned. You might be wondering why you only get £25 back in winnings if the odds are 10/1 and your bet was £10, shouldn’t that be £100! Well no, the bookmakers only pay out a 1/4th of the quoted odds on horses that finish 2nd, 3rd or 4th and because your horse didn’t finish 1st you will lose the win portion of the original stake.
How Often Does The Favourite Win The National
In the last 100 hundred years only 12 favourites have actually won the Grand National. Six of them have come in the last 20 years notably: Tiger Roll (2019), Don’t Push It (2010), Comply Or Die (2008), Hedgehunter (2005), Earth Summit (1998) and Rough Quest in 1996.
Nearly all these horses have gone off at 7/1, except for Tiger Roll who went off at odds of 4/1, which on the face of it seems miserly odds for such a high-risk race.
Do Longshots Have A Real Chance
Five 100/1 winners have won the race in the last 100 years. Below you can see the odds of the winners since 2009
Where Can I Get The Best Odds
This is a tricky question to answer. It’s certainly worth shopping around for a price on a specific horse, especially if that horse is considered a longshot.
I often see horses priced a 40/1 with one bookmaker which can be backed at 66/1 or even 80/1 with another. At the other end of the market, the difference in odds is usually small.
It’s worth noting that promo offers and enhanced eachway place terms offered by some bookmakers could easily outweigh a small difference in odds.
Odds | Stake | Win | Eachway (place) |
---|---|---|---|
5/1 | £5 | £30 | £11.25 |
8/1 | £5 | £45 | £15 |
10/1 | £5 | £55 | £17.50 |
16/1 | £5 | £85 | £25 |
20/1 | £5 | £105 | £30 |
25/1 | £5 | £130 | £36.25 |
33/1 | £5 | £170 | £46.25 |
40/1 | £5 | £205 | £40 |
66/1 | £5 | £335 | £87.50 |
80/1 | £5 | £405 | £105 |
100/1 | £5 | £505 | £130 |
Amounts shown in the table include returned stake. Eachway places assume 1/4 odds will be paid by the bookmakers and also include place portion of stake returned.
If you back a horse eachway for £5 the total bet is £10 (£5 win & £5 place). If your each-way selections wins add the place amount and win amount together to get your total return.
