The Grand National odds had Any Second Now as the eventual 15/2 favourite, while 2021 Grand National winner Minella Times went off as top weight, but both came up short as 50/1 outsider Noble Yeats crossed the finishing line first with Sam Waley-Cohen on board in his farewell ride. Here are the ten previous Grand National winners:
- 2022 – Noble Yeats

How are the Grand National runners decided?
In early February, a longlist often containing over 100 potential Grand National runners is announced. As we near the 2023 Aintree Grand National, this is whittled down to a maximum of 40 Grand National runners (plus four reserves). Narrowing down the field to 40 runners is a lengthy process, with the following steps and many twists and turns when it comes to the Grand National odds.
- Grand National entries close around 29th January, giving us a longlist often in excess of 100 Aintree Grand National runners.
- Weights are announced in mid-February, ranking the horses from one to 40 and beyond.
- The first scratchings deadline is in early March.
- The second scratchings come three weeks later, after the twists and turns of the Cheltenham Festival have all played out.
- Five-day confirmations will be on 10th April 2023.
- Final declarations will happen on Thursday 13th April at 10am, featuring the top 40 horses from the weights list, plus four reserves to cater for very late withdrawals.
- Final confirmation comes on Friday 14th April at 1pm, leaving just 40 horses.
Any withdrawals after the final confirmation stage will not be replaced, and the Grand National would take place with 39 or fewer horses. However, this is a relatively rare occurrence, and so it’s possible to use any Grand National free bets you’ve found, without much fear of not having a run for your money.
