How To Pick A Winner In The Grand National 2024
Firstly it’s worth noting there are certain things you should look for in Grand National runners, this is based on previous runnings of the race and tends to throw up the same kind of winner each time (with the odd exception).
Positive Grand National Trends
- Horses aged 8 or older have the best recent record for winning
- 12 of the last 14 winners were Grand National first-timers
- Horses that have won or placed in a National race of any description (Check out at the Scottish, Irish and Welsh Nationals)
- Look for horses that raced over hurdles at some point earlier that season
- Horses that like to be ridden up with the pace in their races often do well (avoid horses that like to be held up)
- Irish-trained horses have a great recent record in the Grand National.
- Irish-bred horses have the best recent Grand National record
- Horses that finished unplaced in the previous season’s Grand National often do well
- Horses that have won over 3 miles in the past
If you take these into account and the following negative trends you will be able to eliminate a lot of runners and make choosing a lot easier.
Negative Grand National Trends
- Horses aged 8 or younger don’t have the best of records – the last 7-year-old to win before Noble Yeats was in 1940
- Horses aged 13 or older don’t have a great Grand National winning record
- Runners that have fallen or unseated three or more times often don’t run well
- Past Grand National winners and previous Grand National placed horses have bad returning records – although, the 2018 Grand National winner, Tiger Roll, did buck this trend in 2019
- Horses that had last raced over 50 days ago often don’t run well
- Runners that had hard races at the Cheltenham Festival, run the previous month, don’t fare well.

CORACH RAMBLER 6/1
The favourite is the favourite for a reason and this year has a very good chance hailing from Ireland it fits the necessary factors having had a recent run, has won over course and distance (previous winner), and could well be there or thereabout at the end once more.

Free Grand National Outsider Tip
So here is our outsider tip based on some of the factors we have talked about.
ROI MAGE 66/1
Fits the bill as he can stay is 12 years old and has been over Hurdles, is a Grand National first-timer and has had a recent run, most notably he has won on heavy going too, and with all the rain we have been having that could play to his strengths.
Other Things To Consider
When you back a horse in the Grand National make sure that you not only back it each way, but to make sure that you use a bookie that is paying out on the most places.
Often bookmakers payout from anything up to 6 places but on occasion some bookies will pay out up to 9th! which is incredible value for money and you want to give yourself the best chance of a return!
That being said all the best and I hope that you find that elusive winner and that our free grand national 2024 tips helped you do it!
