The Grand National takes place on April 5, 2025 and is the biggest race of the three-day Grand National meeting at Aintree racecourse.

Until 2023 , the maximum field size for the race was 40 but that has since been reduced to 34 as part of wider efforts to make the race safer of jockeys and horses.

The fastest time ever was recorded by Mr Frisk in 1990 , who remains the only horse in history to compete the course in under nine minutes .
