Follow the latest updates from Aintree and the 174th edition of the iconic handicap steeplechase

Racing fans dress up for Aintree Ladies Day

Follow all the latest updates from the 2022 Grand National at Aintree as one of British sport’s most iconic events returns for a 174th edition.

Coronavirus caused the cancellation of the race in 2020 and kept the crowds away in 2021, so for the first time in three years, fans will be able to watch in person at Aintree and help create that famous atmopshere.

A stacked field of horses and jockeys look to make history for themselves, the trainer and owner with 40 runners and riders ready to try and win the most valuable jump race in Europe.

Minella Times, ridden by Rachael Blackmore, triumphed 12 months ago and returns to try and make it two in a row this year but there are plenty of fancied horses in the field, including Any Second Now, Escaria Ten, Snow Leopardess and Longhouse Poet.

The biggest horse race of them all really is anyone’s game and horses at any odds can win it, remember 100/1 Mon Mome in 2009?

Any Second Now will set off as the favourite but he faces stern competition from Snow Leopardess and Minella Times.
