40 runners are selected to tackle the four-and-a-bit mile steeplechase which sees the competing horses and jockeys clear 30 fences in the hopes of earning a place in horse racing history.

Last year’s winner Noble Yeats is in the field once again and is hoping to make it back-to-back wins in the National but faces a stacked field of recent Cheltenham winners who are all out to impress.
