Grand National 2025 Tips - Home challenger overpriced at 33s
In the buildup to the 2025 Grand National, Beauport, priced at 33/1, is emerging as a strong contender. After a commanding victory in the Berkshire National, Beauport shows promise for the Aintree race under Nigel Twiston-Davies' expert training. With strategic race planning and previous wins on varying ground conditions, Beauport's manageable weight of 11-1 positions him well for a competitive run. Success hinges on his ability to establish a strong rhythm and adapt to the unique Grand National fences. Look out for Beauport on April 5th.

Here's my second tip for the 2025 Grand National, which takes place at Aintree on Saturday 5th April.
Hewick was my first selection for the Grand National, and he's been backed into 10/1 from 20s since my article went live two weeks ago. Today, I've found another contender than looks overpriced in the Grand National betting.
2025 Grand National Tip 2 - Beauport
I toyed with the idea of putting BEAUPORT (33/1) up last week, but I've had to convince myself that he's capable of winning the Grand National off this current mark of 156.
Nigel Twiston-Davies' star won the Midlands National at Uttoxeter last season and added another regional National to his collection at Ascot in November. Under a positive ride from Toby McCain-Mitchell, Beauport jumped his rivals silly from the front to win the Berkshire National by 31 lengths, a victory which earned him a 12-pound hike in the ratings.
The Grand National has been the plan for Beauport since that victory. In a bid to protect his mark, Twiston-Davies has run his star in two top-quality hurdles races. Sam Twiston-Davies' mount almost held on from the front to win the Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot, where only Crambo and Hiddenvalley Lake were able to pass him. Beauport then attempted to make all again in the Rendlesham at Haydock, but had no answer for Gwennie May Boy's challenge and was allowed to coast home in second.
156 is a tough enough mark. In a regular staying handicap, Beauport might have his work cut out, but Twiston-Davies' star will only be carrying 11-1 on Saturday and he's more than capable of shouldering that to victory.
Beauport has won big handicaps on heavy and good ground, he's a guaranteed stayer of the trip - providing he gets into a good rhythm early - and Twiston-Davies hasn't made the mistake of overrunning his star in the build-up to his big assignment. If Beauport takes to the National fences and can find a prominent position early on, then he should be there at the business end of the race.
Verdict
Beauport's victory in the Berkshire National didn't go unmissed by the handicapper, but he still enters this year's Grand National carrying a lovely racing weight and Nigel Twiston-Davies has had his star laid out for a tilt at the big one!
