Most backed horses in the Grand National: Corach Rambler leads the way

Corach Rambler is our most backed horse for the 2024 Grand National at Aintree, with 9.4% of bet365 customers selecting Lucinda Russell's superstar.

Derek Fox guided Corach Rambler to a sensational victory in last year's race and punters are backing the 10-year-old to follow in the footsteps of the likes of Red Rum and Tiger Roll by winning the Grand National in consecutive years.

Vanillier, who was second last year and could become the first grey horse to win the Grand National since Neptune Collonges in 2012, is the second most popular pick, while 2022 champion Noble Yeats is responsible for 5.7% of the bets placed so far.

Other popular Grand National horses include I Am Maximus, who was in imperious form at Fairyhouse last time out, and Mr Incredible, the runner-up in last month's bet365 Midlands Grand National.

bet365 trader Pat Cooney said: "26 of the 34 runners are trained in Ireland, so it’s not surprising that punters who aren’t that familiar with so many of the contenders are sticking with the horses that ran so well in the race last year."
