Ahead of day one of this year's Grand National Festival, let's take a little look at each horse's form in every race and how they could fare under the current place markets.
As Cheltenham showed last month, it can be a real struggle to find value in the market. Given the favourites' records last time out, you may want to focus on place bets, or even Each Way punts. So, here are the key numbers for each race.
Grand National Preview
In this preview, we will solely be looking at the numbers of form, rather than looking at the races of each day and giving some information about them. If the latter is what you are looking for, consider checking out our preview for the 2025 edition of the Grand National.
Opening Day - Form Guide
At the time of writing, day 1 is quite open, with a lot of races having decently priced favourites. This means there may be more Each-Way value than there was at Cheltenham, with more races being more closed off.
Due to the number of runners in certain races, we have split each race into its own segment, so if you are looking for a specific race, please use the 'Table of Contents' area to access the race.
