The Randox Grand National is set to kick off this weekend, with millions of punters worldwide expected to back their favourite horse.

The race, which takes place at Aintree in Merseyside between April 11 and April 13, is the highlight of the meeting. The main event is scheduled for around 4pm on Saturday, with thousands of racing fans anticipated to attend.

This year, 34 runners have been chosen to compete in the four miles and two-and-a-half furlongs steeplechase, a reduction from the previous 40 participants to minimise the risk of incidents during the race.
