The excitement is building, the anticipation is electric, and the stage is set for one of the most thrilling events in horse racing—The Grand National 2025 at Aintree!

At the top of the conversation is Senior Chief , a horse that’s been showing remarkable improvement. Some believe he could peak at just the right time to take the crown.

Then there's I Am Maximus , last year’s winner, back to defend his title. The big question: can he carry top weight and do what hasn’t been done since the great Red Rum? History isn’t on his side, but his class and determination can’t be overlooked. Another name that keeps popping up is Nick Rockett , a horse with an emotional backstory and impressive credentials. Winning the Thyestes and Bobbyjo Chase has positioned him as a serious contender.
Veterans like Minella Indo , a former Cheltenham Gold Cup winner, bring experience, while exciting up-and-comers like Intense Raffles could spring a surprise. And what about the enigmatic Hitman , part-owned by legendary football manager Sir Alex Ferguson? Will he finally break his habit of finishing runner-up?
With over 30 runners, the Grand National is always a test of stamina, skill, and sheer luck. The course is grueling, the fences are unforgiving, and anything can happen over four miles and two and a half furlongs. The unpredictability is what makes this race a global spectacle—favorites have fallen, long shots have triumphed, and legends have been made in dramatic fashion.
So, who will take the glory this year? Will it be a seasoned veteran, a rising star, or an unexpected outsider? One thing is certain—when the tape goes up at Aintree, the world will be watching, holding its breath, and cheering on their chosen champion.
