2027 Grand National Guide

The Grand National is the world's most famous steeplechase. Run at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool every April, it draws a huge worldwide TV audience. Whether you bet every week or only once a year, it's a great day of racing. Compare the best Grand National odds above and check the current bookmaker offers.

What is the Grand National?

The Grand National is a handicap steeplechase run over a distance of four miles, two furlongs and 74 yards. It features 30 fences, including the famous Becher's Brook, The Chair, and Canal Turn. Up to 34 runners can line up, making it the biggest field in British horse racing. The race is a true test of stamina, jumping ability and heart.

Each-Way Betting on the Grand National

Each-way betting is hugely popular for the Grand National due to the large field of up to 34 runners. When you place an each-way bet, half your stake goes on the horse to win and half on it to finish in the places. For the Grand National, bookmakers typically pay 1/4 or 1/5 of the odds for the first four or five places. With big-priced runners regularly filling the places, each-way value is a key consideration when choosing your Grand National selection.

The Grand National Course

The Grand National course at Aintree is unique in world horse racing. The race covers four miles and two-and-a-half furlongs, with runners jumping 30 fences over two circuits. The most famous fences include Becher's Brook (fence 6 and 22), where horses jump at an angle and land on a steep drop; The Chair (fence 15), the tallest and narrowest fence on the course with a wide ditch in front; and the Canal Turn (fence 8 and 24), where runners must make a sharp 90-degree turn on landing. The course demands bravery, stamina and expert jumping from horse and jockey alike.

Consider Your Grand National Free Bets and Bankroll

There are up to thirty-four runners in the Grand National and lots of horses can potentially win. It's worth signing up with a few different bookies where you're able to claim a betting bonus each time. These free bets can potentially be used for different selections for the race, giving you a wider spread of horses.

Don't get carried away when it comes to betting on Aintree and the Grand National. We always recommend that you set aside a specific amount for each race. It's also worth considering each-way bets where you can make a return if your horse finishes in the frame. Having a bankroll and a staking plan will help you be more disciplined as a gambler.

Safe Gambling

Responsible gambling is imperative and all readers should take care with their Grand National betting. All horse racing sites we promote are UK-licensed. This means that customers have the tools to bet responsibly. You should consider your deposits and bets carefully and always keep gambling in check. Make sure you set a deposit limit when you first sign up for an account.

You should accept that luck plays a part in sporting outcomes and that you're unlikely to win every time you bet. Even finding a winner of the Grand National by selecting several horses doesn't mean a guaranteed return. Our safe gambling page has more on the tools available and where to get help.

Grand National FAQ

When is the 2027 Grand National?
The 2027 Grand National takes place on Saturday 10th April 2027 at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. The three-day Aintree Festival runs from Thursday 8th to Saturday 10th April, with the Grand National as the headline race on the final day.
What time is the Grand National?
The Grand National goes off at around 4pm on Saturday afternoon. The race takes approximately 9-10 minutes to complete.
How many runners in the Grand National?
The Grand National has a maximum field of 34 runners, reduced from 40 in 2024, and it is still one of the biggest fields in British horse racing. Horses must be rated by the BHA handicapper to be eligible and the weights are determined based on each horse's official rating. There are also reserves in case any of the declared runners are withdrawn before race day.
How does each-way betting work for the Grand National?
Each-way betting is the most popular way to bet on the Grand National. Your stake is split in two: half on the horse to win, half on it to place. For the Grand National, most bookmakers pay 1/4 or 1/5 of the odds for horses finishing in the first four or five places. With up to 34 runners and big-priced horses frequently placing, each-way bets offer excellent value. Some bookmakers also run extra place promotions during Grand National week.
What are the famous Grand National fences?
The Grand National course features 30 fences, with the most famous being: Becher's Brook (fences 6 and 22), known for its steep landing side drop; The Chair (fence 15), the tallest fence on the course at 5 feet 2 inches with a 6-foot ditch; the Canal Turn (fences 8 and 24), where runners must negotiate a sharp 90-degree left turn on landing; and Valentine's (fences 9 and 25), another fence with a significant drop on the landing side.
How do I pick a Grand National winner?
When picking a Grand National winner, consider these key factors: the horse's stamina over long distances, proven ability to jump big fences, previous experience at Aintree or over the National fences, the weight carried (horses carrying less weight have a better chance), the trainer's track record in the race, and the going (ground conditions). Previous winners and horses that have run well in the Topham Chase or Becher Chase are always worth considering.
Can I bet on the Grand National online?
Yes, you can bet on the Grand National online with any licensed UK bookmaker. Simply sign up for an account, deposit funds with a debit card, and place your bet. Most bookmakers offer special Grand National promotions including enhanced odds, extra places each-way, and free bet offers for new customers. You can also bet on the Grand National via bookmaker apps on your mobile phone.
What is the Grand National course like?
The Grand National course at Aintree is 4 miles 2 furlongs and 74 yards long, making it one of the longest races in the world. Runners complete two circuits of the course, jumping 30 fences in total (16 on the first circuit and 14 on the second, as The Chair and the Water Jump are only jumped once). The fences are made of spruce and are unique to Aintree. The course is left-handed and largely flat, but the stamina demands are immense.
