Grand National 2022 Live: Start time, final runners and riders plus betting tips for Aintree

The Grand National is back in front of a capacity crowd today for the first time since 2019.

Rachael Blackmore, who rode to victory on Minella Times last year to become the first woman to win the race, is back as she looks to defend her title off the back of a Cheltenham Gold Cup win in March. Were she to triumph, it would place her in the history books alongside Brian Fletcher on Red Rum and Davy Russell on Tiger Roll in winning back-to-back Grand Nationals on the same horse.

Beyond Minella Times, the other favourites with the bookies include Snow Leopardess, Delta Work, Eclair Surf and Enjoy Dallen. The runners will go to post for 5.15pm in the world's most famous steeplechase and you can follow all the action from Aintree throughout the day in the live blog below.
