The £1million contest is set to have 150,000 fans in attendance for all the thrills the Grand National brings.
Last year’s winner, I Am Maximus, will attempt to become only the second horse since Red Rum in the 1970s to successfully defend the prestigious title.
Meanwhile, Rachael Blackmore will be aiming to improve on her third-place finish in the 2024 edition of the big race.
But what horse will the history-making female jockey be riding this year?
What horse is Rachael Blackmore riding in Grand National 2025?
Rachael Blackmore will ride Minella Indo in the 2025 Grand National.
The Irish jockey rode the Henry De Bromhead-trained horse in the big one last year, finishing third, just eight lengths behind the winner I Am Maximus.
Minella Indo is priced at a huge 40/1 to win the Grand National at the time of writing.
Blackmore made history in 2021 when she became the first female jockey to win the iconic race, riding De Bromhead-trained Minella Times to victory.
