Grand National 2017 runners and riders guide: Full line-up of horses racing at Aintree revealed

The 170th Grand National horse race takes place at Aintree this weekend – and the runners have been confirmed.

The Randox Health-sponsored event is worth a hefty £1million to the winners, making it one of the most desirable horse racing events in the world.

The winning horse of 2016, Rule The World, is not participating this year which means there will not be the competition’s first double winner since the legendary Red Rum in 1974.

It is estimated that around 10 million people will be tuning in to see the competition.

A maximum 40 horses will be taking part in the race – and here’s the line-up.
