Grand National 2023 runners and riders: full list of horses for Aintree race

The longlist of entries for the 2023 Grand National has been released. The final selection of 40 horses will be made from the list of 85 horses below. 

The vast majority of this year’s contenders are trained in Ireland. Gordon Elliot, the trainer whose horses have won the Grand National three times, has 21 possible entrants. Just 31 of the potential horses have been trained in the UK.

There are two previous winners on the longlist: Minella Times (2021) and Noble Yeats (2022). 

Among the early favourite is Hewick, mainly by virtue of having already won a “national” race with a triumph in the American Grand National in New Jersey in October. Hewick’s trainer, John Hanlon, has suggested that the horse, who cost just £800, will be given a shot at the Cheltenham Gold Cup first. 

The leading British contenders are Corach Rambler, who won last year’s Ultima Handicap Chase at Aintree, and Iwilldoit, who won the Welsh National in 2022. 

The weights for the Grand National will be announced on February 21.
