I Am Maximus will return to Aintree for his third crack at the Grand National on Saturday, and Willie Mullins' star tops the betting once again.
Paul Townend's mount ran out an impressive winner of this race in 2024, having won the Irish Grand National the previous season. I Am Maximus seemed on-course to retain his crown 12 months ago, but was pipped to the post by stablemate Nick Rockett, with Grangeclare West behind them in third.
Mullins' ten-year-old ran a mighty race at Leopardstown over Christmas, finishing ahead of Galopin Des Champs when second in the Savills Chase. A fifth-placed effort in the Irish Gold Cup ensured that the 2024 champion would return to Aintree with a rating of 168, one pound higher than last year.
