Aintree Grand National Festival Preview 2026
from #racehour · host #racehour
Diarmuid Nolan, Dean Ryan, and Pat Cooney are together to break down one of the greatest jumping festivals on the British calendar, the Aintree Grand National Festival. Three superb days of racing in Liverpool, and the lads are ready to go through it all — race by race, grade 1 by grade 1, right the way through to the big one. The panel give their 1-2-3 for the Grand National itself, and cast their eye over all the other Grade 1s and marquee races across the three days. Diarmuid and Pat are singing from the same hymn sheet this week, as they land on a big-priced handicap runner on Saturday — outside of the National — that they fancy to cause a stir. Tune in to find out who they're backing. Classic race. Legendary festival. Don't miss it. 🎙️ Presented in association with bet365 and Gambling.com | Please gamble responsibly. 18+
