Grand National betting: 2026 Aintree Foxhunters contenders and tip

Its On The Line won this race is 2024 and stayed true to his form when finishing second again at the Cheltenham Festival. There is little room for excuses here and he ought to be at the sharp end here. 

At a price, Densworth might be worth keeping an eye on for a place. He is bred to suit this trip, though mostly ran over shorter in his days racing under Rules, and could be quietly suited to this race. 

Great Notions has seemingly begun to reclaim some better form, after a good run to finish second last time at Sedgefield. He could outrun his odds but is going to be up against it here. 

Running for Paul Nicholls, Golden Son could run a good race under Olive Nicholls. He was a respectable fourth at Cheltenham last month and might prefer this flatter track. 

Coral’s big-race tip: Its On The Line at 9/2
