Grand National 2019 betting: Odds, tips and more ahead of world's most famous race

The most famous race of them all will take place this Saturday as 40 horses battle it out at Aintree

The 2019 Grand National is hurtling ever ever closer.

The most famous race of them all will take place this Saturday as 40 horses battle it out at Aintree. Over £300,000,000 will be wagered on the National alone as punters try and score a winner.

This year's favourite is Tiger Roll, who will of course be ridden again by Davy Russell as they bid to win the National for the second year in succession.

Elliott has, however, also finalised jockeys for all his contenders as he readies a formidable battalion for Saturday, which is set to break the record for the number of National runners from the same stable.

Here's everything you need to know including the latest odds:
