Good morning and welcome to SunSport’s coverage of the Grand National!

Today is the day the country comes to a halt for the Grand National! 

A huge field of 34 runners is expected to contest the £1million Aintree showpiece.

I Am Maximus is back, looking to secure back-to-back triumphs in the Grand National for the first time since Tiger Roll in 2018 and 2019.

The Willie Mullins-trained horse is the favourite in the betting ahead of the big one and Paul Townend will once again be aboard the 2024 winner.

SunSport will bring you fence-by-fence coverage of the Grand National and the other six races taking place at Aintree.
