Pick your winner from one of the 40 horses who will race around the 4.5m Aintree course, jumping over 30 fences.

Grand National betting activity is going to be frenetic.

Horses with very long odds have won the race before as all around them struggle to stay on their feet and keep their riders on board.

Be part of 2009 Grand National history

Aintree Grand National history is long and rich. There have been so many memorable races, including the Grand National 2008 race that created great excitement as Irish jockey Timmy Murphy rode Comply or Die to a Grand National win, with King Johns Castle and Snowy Morning taking second and third respectively.

Before you bet on the Grand National race, consider our final tips. Keep an eye out for horses trained specifically for Aintree and those that have not been overworked this season. Both will stand a much better chance in the 2009 Grand National, as history is on their side. It is also wise to consider that such a big occasion requires a special type of horse to rise to the challenge and atmosphere created by this unique race.
