An armchair guide to the weekend’s sport on TV

From the Grand National at Aintree to the Australian Grand Prix and Masters at Augusta, the live sporting action comes thick and fast this weekend.

There is also Premier League action at the top and bottom of the table, as title chasers Manchester City and Liverpool collide on Sunday, while Everton and Burnley will hope to boost their survival hopes.

England will look to continue their flying start to the Women’s Six Nations campaign against Wales, and there is quarter-final action in rugby league’s Challenge Cup.

So sit back and relax with the remote as the PA news agency provides the essential guide of what to watch and where to catch all of the action.

HORSE RACINGGrand National Festival – ITV & STV 1400

Rachael Blackmore made history last year as she guided Minella Times to victory at Aintree.

They will partner up again for Saturday’s big race at 1715 BST, but carry top weight this time.

Snow Leopardess has emerged as one of the favourites along with Any Second Now and Delta Work.

But just who will come through a 40-strong field to pass the winning post is anybody’s guess.

GOLFThe Masters – Sky Sports Golf 1930 & Sky Sports Main Event 2000

Just over a year after suffering severe leg injuries in a car crash in Los Angeles, Tiger Woods is making his latest comeback in the 86th Masters.

After a solid start to his opening round, it would be a dream return if the 15-time major winner went on to secure another Green Jacket come Sunday.

And perhaps there would be more fitting place to do so than at Augusta National.
