Grand National 2026 runners: Pinstickers’ guide to Aintree race horses


Trainer: Gordon Elliott (IRE) Jockey: Jordan Gainford

Form: 82127 Age: 9 Weight: 11-0

John: A second attempt at National glory for this guy, also trained by Elliott, who in addition to his two wins with Tiger Roll also triumphed in the race with Silver Birch in 2007.

Last year, he was right up with the pace before slowly but surely weakening away into 11th place.

Despite a fine run when second to Panic Attack in the Coral Gold Cup in November, he simply doesn’t look well enough handicapped to win.

If you have drawn him in the sweepstake, you have a Pair rather than a Prial, which is the highest hand in three card brag. You may still win, but it’s unlikely.

Rating: 5/10 Odds: 50-1
