Coral Grand National analysis (Saturday, 4 pm)

The 34-runner field is confirmed for the £1 million world-famous race. I Am Maximus heads the market, with Paul Townend confirmed in the saddle. He handles Aintree better than anything in the race, but 168 in the weights is a serious ask even for a horse of his ability.

Grangeclare West and Jagwar are the next two in the market. Panic Attack has been one of the most consistent horses in training all season and Dan Skelton’s yard is hard to oppose in big-field handicaps at the festivals. Johnnywho is worth a long look at 14/1. His Cheltenham Ultima win came on his first start back from a wind operation, and that kind of comeback performance at Grade 1 level over an inadequate trip deserves respect.

It lets you combine two or more selections from the same race, Win & Place, Race Winning Distance, Top Finish positions into a single bet with its own price. The 17:15 bumper today gives you a chance to try it ahead of Saturday: Princess Day heads the market at 5/2, with Ti’mamzel and Nan’s Choice at 4/1 and a range of Top 2 through Top 5 markets available at varied prices.
