Frequently Asked Questions
Which horse is favourite to win the Grand National?
The favourite for the 2026 Grand National is changing frequently at the moment, with I Am Maximus, just shading the top of the market from Grangeclare West and Panic Attack
How do you get the best odds on the Grand National?
Grand National Guide will provide you with the best odds from reputable bookmakers. This page updates automatically with the latest odds from a selection of bookmakers. By comparing bookmaker odds, you will be able to get better odds than just going to one betting site.
Are each way odds different to win odds?
The grand national odds listed on this page are for the horse to win the race. Each way odds are calculated using a fraction of the win odds. So if you bet £1 each way, you will have £1 on the win at the win odds and typically in the Grand National, you will have £1 on the place at 1/4 or 1/5 of the win odds.
When is the best time to take odds on the Grand National?
Typically, the earlier you bet before the race start time, the better. In the days leading up to the race, you can often gain better odds than on the day of the race. Then, on the day of the race, typically odds shorten towards race time. Of course, this can vary; some horses' odds will drift, others contract. But the closer to the race, typically, the less generous the bookies are, as they know you just want to get your bets on.
What is best odds guaranteed?
Best odds guaranteed is a great way to bet on horse racing. Most bookies offer this, but the rules vary. Typically, if you place a bet on the morning of a race and the odds on your horse drift, then the bookie will pay out at the higher odds. Therefore, you can take a price knowing the odds can only get better. This guide explains more about best odds guaranteed.
Getting Best Odds for Grand National 2026
Grand National odds for each of the Grand National runners 2026 are listed on this page. The best odds for your Grand National horse will be displayed here, using the odds feeds from the bookmakers we feature on the site.
However, please ensure that you double-check the odds at the bookmaker site, as whilst odds here are correct at the time of publication, the odds change frequently. The odds are updated regularly, but they are constantly changing depending on the support for each horse. The amount which the grand national odds vary changes as we approach the race, with betting odds being fairly stable in the days before but changing rapidly on the day of the race, especially as we reach the start time.
We list bookmaker odds from leading and trusted UK bookmakers who want to take your Grand National bets, have a reliable website and an easy online account opening process. On Grand National day, the bookies' websites are very busy, and some smaller firms' sites have been known to crash!
When selecting your horse, please don't just focus on the runners with the shortest odds. In recent years, we have seen some winners come home with big Grand National odds.
For example, Mon Mome in 2009 went off at odds of 100/1! Auroras Encore was another outsider in the bookmakers' starting prices at 66/1.
In 2016, Rule the World was trading around 50/1 for most of the day of the race, but started at 33/1. These horses can be found as good bets, though we tipped Rule The World to win! See our tips for 2026 here.
In recent years, the Grand National has seen changes such as making the fences smaller and reducing the number of horses in the race. These changes have coincided with more favourites winning, such as I Am Maximus, who won at 7/1 two years ago, Corach Rambler, who won at 8/1 the year before and Tiger Roll, who won at 4/1 in 2019. Before that, though, the last single-figure price winner was Comply Or Die way back in 2008!
Once you have made your selection for the Grand National, you need to decide what type of Grand National bet you want to place. Do you want to play it safe and back your selection each-way, or are you feeling especially confident and want to back your Grand National horse to win only?
To back your Grand National runner each-way, you need to place two bets; one on the horse to finish first and another that gives you a smaller return for your money if your Grand National horse finishes second, third or fourth. If you decide you want your Grand National bet to be each-way, you just need to make sure you tick the each-way box when you place your bet.
As well as using the best odds to decide which bookmaker to bet with, you may also want to consider which bookmakers offer you a free bet or special offer for opening an account with them. See our Grand National Free Bets page.
