So, they will, more often than not, back a horse to win. Because the race has so many runners in it and is such a test over a long distance with thirty jumps, it means even the favourite to win is usually available at big odds. Last year’s winner, Corach Rambler, was available at odds of 8/1 ahead of the race.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch4 class=\"bvs-h4\"\u003eEach Way Betting\u003c/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAgain, because of the challenge the Grand National poses and how big the field is. And because the odds are generally high enough. Some punters will look to bet on horses each way, which means that they ideally win but just need to place, usually in the first four. An each-way bet is often considered a safer bet because it gives bettors more options to win something. In the Grand National, it’s also possible for a horse at a huge price to place, such as Santini at 33-1 in 2022.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch4 class=\"bvs-h4\"\u003eForecast Betting\u003c/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eForecast betting is another popular type of bet where the Grand National is concerned, probably because of the big prices that are available. A forecast would mean predicting the winner and second in order, or if going with a reverse forecast, in any order. It would have meant predicting Corach Rambler, the favourite, and Vanillier, a 20/1 shot, to come first and second in 2023 if going with a straight forecast.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"toc_title":"Grand National Recent Winners","title":"\u003ch2 class=\"bvs-h2\"\u003eGrand National Recent Winners\u003c/h2\u003e","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"raw-html-embed\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\r\n  \u003cthead\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\r\n      \u003cth\u003eYear\u003c/th\u003e\r\n      \u003cth\u003eWinner\u003c/th\u003e\r\n      \u003cth\u003eJockey\u003c/th\u003e\r\n      \u003cth\u003eTrainer\u003c/th\u003e\r\n    \u003c/tr\u003e\r\n  \u003c/thead\u003e\r\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003e2026\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eI Am Maximus\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003ePaul Townend\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eWillie Mullins\u003c/td\u003e\r\n    \u003c/tr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003e2025\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eNick Rockett\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003ePatrick Mullins\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eWillie Mullins\u003c/td\u003e\r\n    \u003c/tr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003e2024\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eI Am Maximus\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003ePaul Townend\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eWillie Mullins\u003c/td\u003e\r\n    \u003c/tr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003e2023\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eCorach Rambler\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eDerek Fox\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eLucinda Russell\u003c/td\u003e\r\n    \u003c/tr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003e2022\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eNoble Yeats\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eSam Waley-Cohen\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eEmmet Mullins\u003c/td\u003e\r\n    \u003c/tr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003e2021\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eMinella Times\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eRachael Blackmore\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eHenry De Bromhead\u003c/td\u003e\r\n    \u003c/tr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003e2019\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eTiger Roll\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eDavy Russell\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eGordon Elliott\u003c/td\u003e\r\n    \u003c/tr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003e2018\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eTiger Roll\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eDavy Russell\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eGordon Elliott\u003c/td\u003e\r\n    \u003c/tr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003e2017\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eOne For Arthur\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eDerek Fox\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eLucinda Russell\u003c/td\u003e\r\n    \u003c/tr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003e2016\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eRule The World\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eDavid Mullins\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eMouse Morris\u003c/td\u003e\r\n    \u003c/tr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003e2015\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eMany Clouds\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eLeighton Aspell\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eOliver Sherwood\u003c/td\u003e\r\n    \u003c/tr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003e2014\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003ePineau De Re\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eLeighton Aspell\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eRichard Newland\u003c/td\u003e\r\n    \u003c/tr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003e2013\u003c/td\u003e\r\n      \u003ctd\u003eAuroras Encore\u003c/td\u003e\u003c/tr\u003e\u003c/tbody\u003e\u003c/table\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"bvs-h3\"\u003eWho won the Grand National with high odds?\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first legend to win the Grand National at 100/1 odds was Tipperary Tim in 1928 and the most recent was Mon Mome in 2009, who led with a 12 length victory, beating Comply or Die and My Will - a shock to spectators and bettors a like.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"toc_title":"Grand National Favourites","title":"\u003ch2 class=\"bvs-h2\"\u003eThe 2027 Grand National Favourites\u003c/h2\u003e","content":"\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eBelow is a look at the current Grand National betting favourites, with odds for each being available from within our extensive \u003ca href=\"https://www.betvictor.com/en-gb/sports\"\u003esportsbook\u003c/a\u003e!\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"bvs-h3\" style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eI Am Maximus (Willie Mullins)\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eI Am Maximus enters the 2025 Grand National as the defending champion.
