Grand National 2024 betting

The 2024 Grand National Festival is drawing closer, with the betting market proving typically volatile and all our recommended Grand National betting sites offering competitive odds.

Corach Rambler is the ante-post favourite to secure another win in the famous race, but there are a number of new factors to consider ahead of the 2024 Grand National. New safety measures will see the runners reduced from 40 to 34, the race beginning with a standing start, and the first fence being moved closer to the start.

The Grand National isn’t just a battle on the course though, as the best betting sites also tussle to try and attract the attention of the betting public. We’ve got the best Grand National free bets and betting offers, alongside details of the most attractive place terms for your each-way bets.

Grand National odds

When deciding which Grand National runners to back, keep an eye out for the weight and jockey announcements, and don’t forget the weather forecast, as these factors all influence the Grand National betting odds leading up to the race. Horses that run well at the Cheltenham Festival often feature prominently and tend to find their Grand National odds cut in the race build-up.

Former Grand National winners also prove popular – a theory which was justified in 2019 when Tiger Roll became a two-time champion, while Noble Yeats was 2022’s Grand National winning horse, and again impressed with a fourth place in 2023. Expect him to feature in the 2024 Grand National runners list too, while Corach Rambler is also among the ante-post favourites as he aims for back-to-back National triumphs.

Corach Rambler was the latest of our winning Grand National tips so check back before the race to see who we’ll be tipping as the 2024 Grand National winner.

Grand National previous winners and past results

The Grand National invariably delivers a memorable story, and it did so again in 2023. Six years ago, trainer Lucinda Russell teamed up with Derek Fox to win the famous race with One For Arthur. Then, less than a month after One For Arthur’s death, the two came together again to guide 8/1 favourite Corach Rambler to victory. Recall all the drama and the Grand National 2023 results with the link below.

Upcoming major horse racing events

The Grand National may be the most watched and bet on race in the UK, but there are also many popular races around the world that catch the public’s imagination in the same way. In Australia, the Melbourne Cup is known as the Race that Stops a Nation, because of the level of interest.

The build-up to the most recent Melbourne Cup centred around Willie Mullins’ attempt to add to his already lengthy roll of honour, with both Vauban and Absurde sent across the world to take on the best horses from Australia. Ultimately both came up short, leaving Mark Zahra to secure his second Melbourne Cup victory in as many years.

In terms of races that’ll influence the Grand National betting odds, the Welsh Grand National saw Nassalam add his name to the major contenders, while Hewick was another to enjoy a big win during the festive season, winning the prestigious King George VI Chase.

The Cheltenham Festival saw Meetingofthewaters amongst those to shorten for the National, but it was Corach Rambler’s performance in the Gold Cup which had the greatest impact on the Grand National odds. The 2023 winner was cut from 12/1 to as short as 6/1, leaving him as the clear favourite to secure back-to-back Grand National victories.
