Four days of the best steeplechase and hurdle racing on the planet bring the season to a climax as 450 horses compete for £2.8m in prize money.

The four major Championship races are backed up by another six Grade 1 contests and a whole host of Handicaps that set racegoers the challenge of picking a winner that can bring high return. Over £1m will be bet on-course on every race.

For the three hours before racing and the hour and half after, there is time to enjoy The Grand National atmosphere amongst the trade stands, parades, music and entertainment.

Crowd levels on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are expected to be around 55,000 compared with capacity of 65,000 expected on Saturady for the Grand National Itself.
