The Grand National 2022 is fast-approaching, odds are drifting back and forth with the tides, and tips are flying around in every direction.

A fresh field of 40 runners and riders will gear up to ride in the world’s most prestigious horse race – the one they all want to win – at Aintree this weekend.

Reigning champion Minella Times is back for more, superstar jockey Rachael Blackmore is ready to challenge for top honours once again and excitement is building ahead of an esteemed showdown that captures the nation.

RadioTimes.com has rounded up all the latest Grand National odds ahead of the race in 2022.

Who will win the Grand National in 2022?

Odds provided by bet365.

Snow Leopardess – 8/1

The favourite. Snow Leopardess is a 10-year-old grey mare coming back from a year out of competition due to a leg injury, during which time she also gave birth to a foal.

She has won nine of her 19 career runs to date, finishing inside the top three on all but three occasions. A mare hasn’t won the National since Nickel Coin in 1951 but Snow Leopardess appears to boast the quality over fences and all the right credentials to break the drought.

Fiddlerontheroof – 16/1

Trained with the National in mind, Fiddlerontheroof is coming in fresh having been rested for the Gold Cup.

Previous form as a Grade One winner over hurdles, this 8-year-old has only finished outside of the top three once in his last 18 races, a streak stretching back to 2018 when he came in fifth and fourth in his debut outings.

Minella Times – 14/1

If we’re answering the question honestly: who will win the Grand National in 2022? The name of reigning champion Minella Times is unlikely to be the first from our lips.

The 9-year-old, trained by Henry De Bromhead, has barely run since his triumph last year. In the two races since then, Minella Times has fallen and pulled up. He’s also coming in heavy this year, at the top of his weight, and would be the heaviest winner in 48 years.

The odds appear stacked against Minella Times, but loaded onto his back is the sensation that is Rachael Blackmore. She is capable of leading any number of horses to any number of victories over her career to come. Don’t rule out Minella Times so long as Blackmore is seated.
