Here's how to watch the Grand National 2023 online from anywhere and what time the great race is on.
Run at Aintree in Liverpool, it's the most prestigious steeplechase in the world and one of the highlights of the British sporting calendar.
Rachel Blackmore became the first female jockey to win the legendary race two years ago and she's on the current bookies' favourite to win the 2023 event — the Henry de Bromhead-trained Ain't That A Shame.
But in order to win she will have to master Aintree's famous fences, which include everything from the mighty Becher’s Brook to the tiny Foinavon fence, named after the shock 100/1 winner of the 1967 race.
Other horses attracting support at the top of the market include Corach Rambler, Noble Yeats, Delta Work and the wonderfully titled Mr Incredible — will Mr Incredible be just that?!

Grand National 2023 tips
Our main What To Watch tip is that if you’re going to have a bet compare the prices between different bookmakers as some will be paying better odds than others for the same horse. Think of it like shopping! You'd always go for the best price.
It’s also worth noting that if you back a horse each-way, some bookies will be paying out on more places than other competitors, so that’s also worth looking at. Also look out for bookies paying best odds guaranteed, which means you will get the price you take when you place the bet or the starting price, whichever is higher.
