When is the Grand National 2023? Date, schedule, tickets, results, weather forecast, betting odds and more

Jockey Sam Waley-Cohen had the perfect farewell 12 months ago, as he partnered 50/1 outsider Noble Yates to a memorable victory at the Liverpool track on the final ride of his career.

The same horse returns this year looking to defend his crown, but meets a field of classy rivals headed by the Lucinda Russell-trained Corach Rambler, the antepost favourite coming in fresh from a second successive victory Cheltenham Festival victory last month.

Last year’s runner-up Any Second Now is also back for another tilt, while trainer Gordon Elliott - winner of the 2018 and 2019 renewals with Tiger Roll - looks to have another strong hand, led by another Cheltenham winner in Delta Work.

The 2023 Grand National meeting got underway on Thursday, April 13 and runs through to Saturday, April 15, with the Grand National itself taking place today at 5:15pm BST.
