When looking to select your Grand National horse the handicap weight of the entries is one the most important factor to consider.

Many horse racing punters wait for the entries and weights to be released before placing bets and making the most of any Grand National betting promotional bonuses which maybe on offer in October 2024.

The weights are now out for the 2024 world’s greatest jumps race, with the highest-rated top 40 horses set to line up at Aintree on Saturday, April 13th 2024 to tackle the Randox Grand National.

The 78 entries – with over a dozen entries from the Gordon Elliott yard which has had plenty of success and had previous winners of the Grand National – also includes last year’s winner Noble Yeats. Remastered and The Shunter also catch the eye.

The entries are dominated by Irish trainers, with British runners only making up 11 of the top 40 entries, with Gordon Elliott, Willie Mullins, Emmet Mullins and Henry De Bromhead holding very strong hands.

The British contingent includes Venetia Williams, Philip Hobbs, David Pipe and Colin Tizzard.

In our Grand National weights guide, we have a full and comprehensive list of all current entries and their handicap weights ahead of the big race at Aintree racecourse in Liverpool.

What weight normally wins the Grand National?

The Grand National is a handicap horse race which means all entries should technically have the same chance of winning.

The best racehorses in the field have the highest official rating and need to carry the most weight in the race.

It is very difficult for the best horse to carry the top weight of 12 stone to victory and punters like to find well-weighted horses at 11 stone when choosing their Grand National tips.

Why is the Grand National a handicap?

The Grand National is a handicap race because it gives all entries an equal chance of winning the race.

The handicapper gives each horse an official rating which determines the weight they need to carry during the race.

The aim of handicapping is that the faster horses carry more weight and the slower horses carry less weight in the Grand National.

This makes the Grand National race as even as possible so that all racehorses have an even chance of winning.

Summary of Grand National Weights

The weights and entries are out for the 2024 Grand National.

Technically speaking the Grand National 2024 weights should give all the runners a chance of winning the Grand National prize.

In essence, all the horses should have an even chance as the handicapper penalises the better horses to carry more weight.

Whilst it is good to perhaps place an early bet to try and get longer odds, we suggest keeping them sensible. With the race still a few weeks away much can happen and other factors such as ground, confirmed jockeys and more are yet to be finalised.

The excitement is building!
