Your guide to watching the Grand National 2023 on TV and live stream this week.
The Grand National 2023 is one of the highlights of the British sporting calendar, the summit of elite horse racing and it’s live on TV this weekend.
A fresh crop of contenders and former champions, as well as literal and figurative dark horses, will line up at Aintree for a crack at glory this Saturday.
Noble Yeats – and now-retired jockey Sam Waley-Cohen – sealed a fairytale triumph in 2022 despite going off at 50/1. Sean Bowen will ride the champion horse this year in a bid for back-to-back titles.
Corach Rambler is the early favourite to claim victory in the National, though he must fight off inevitably stiff competition from Delta Work, Willie Mullins’ best hope Mr Incredible and Any Second Now, the latter of whom finished third and second in 2021 and 2022 respectively.
Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or casual punter in horse racing, the Grand National is one of the transcendent sporting events able to bring the nation to a standstill. Get ready to tune in.
