Grand National 2018 runners: Horses racing in 2018 race on Saturday – latest odds
The GRAND NATIONAL 2018 kicks off at Aintree this Saturday, as the 40 racers are confirmed. Here is everything you need to know about the Grand National and all the latest odds.
Forty horses and riders have been confirmed to participate at the Grand National 2018 at Aintree, a four-and-a-quarter-mile stretch around two laps, taking on 30 large fences.
Today, it was confirmed top weight Minella Rocco has been withdrawn from Saturday's race.
Eight-year-old Minella Rocco, which was due to carry 11st 10lb, was seeking to become the first top weight to win the famous steeplechase since the legendary Red Rum in 1974.
But trainer Nicky Henderson chose not to run Gold Present because of the soft ground at the Liverpool venue.
Thunder And Roses - the 10-year-old first reserve trained by Mouse Morris - will take Minella Rocco's place.
Paul Nicholls-trained Vicente has also been withdrawn, and will be replaced in the field by Delusionofgrandeur.
