With the 2025 Grand National almost here, bet365 are now offering 'Non-Runner No Bet' in this year's Aintree showpiece.
This year's Grand National, taking place on Saturday 5th April, looks set to serve up another classic race between a talented field of runners and riders.
The offer applies to bets placed from 17:00 GMT on Friday 14th March 2024. Any bets placed on the Win and Each Way ‘NRNB’ market will be refunded if your selection does not run. In multiple bets if a selection does not run, that part of the bet will be deemed a non-runner.
After an unbeaten novice chasing season that culminated in an Irish Grand National win last April, Intense Raffles was sent hurdling in his first two appearances of the new campaign after being given a generous mark of 10st 10lbs for the 2025 Aintree showpiece.
Lightly raced this season, the Thomas Gibney-trained seven-year-old finished within a length of fellow Grand National hopeful Nick Rockett at Fairyhouse in February and became the new favourite after the withdrawal of Gold Cup winner Inothewayurthinkin.
Having finished third and second in his two previous Aintree appearances, Iroko will bid to finally enter the winners' enclosure at the 2025 Grand National.
Vying for favouritism with Intense Raffles and targeting the Grand National all season, Iroko finished four lengths behind Inothewayurthinkin at Aintree last April and was given eight pounds on his rival this time around prior to the Gold Cup winner's withdrawal.
The 2024 winner, I Am Maximus will have to defy top weight in his bid for a second consecutive Grand National.
Winning by more than seven lengths last year off 11st 6lbs, Willie Mullins' charge carries six pounds more this time around, although his only appearances this season were in Grade 1s at Leopardstown, pulling up in the Savills Chase before losing to Galopin Des Champs in the Irish Gold Cup.
After success in the Cross Country Chase, Stumptown will look to follow in Tiger Roll's footsteps by winning the Grand National a month later.
Gavin Cromwell's eight-year-old has now won four races on the spin, all over at least three miles, and is amongst the favourites at Aintree.
