Won the Ultima Handicap Chase at Cheltenham in 2022 and has started this season on decent form though no wins or places yet. Could the 2023 Grand National change that?

Winner of last year’s Grand National making history as the first 7-year-old to win the race since 1940. High hopes for a repeat win in the 2023 Grand National.

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Was entered and given top weight last year but was withdrawn so will he get a chance in the 2023 Grand National?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.

Finished 6th in this race last season so can definitely get around the course and navigate the tricky obstacles, can he do better in 2023?

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

People will tell you that picking a 2023 Grand National winner is a lottery, they’ll say that on the day any one of the 40 runners could win. In some respects that statement is true, the National remains one of the most open races in the world. In fact, the first-ever winner (1839) was called ‘Lottery’, appropriately enough.
But this belief isn’t borne out by the stats. In fact, by looking down the list of winners over the past 40 years – you can spot patterns that will help narrow the field of runners down to a shortlist of entrants who have the right stuff to triumph at Aintree.
We’ve put together a list of the key traits which many Grand National winners display. Of course, every few years a horse will come along and rip up the form book. So if you want to back a horse on the best horse racing betting sites, then make sure you whittle down your selections to help find a winner.
