Below are details of the horses to have won the most recent Grand Nationals at Aintree, if you want to back a previous winner to win this famous race:
2026: I Am Maximus
Jockey: Paul Townend
Trainer: Willie Mullins
Owner: JP McManus
I Am Maximus made history in the 2026 Grand National by becoming the first horse since the legendary Red Rum to regain the title, having also won in 2024. Carrying top weight of 11st 12lb, the 9/2 favourite also became the first horse since Red Rum in 1974 to win the race under the heaviest burden. Iroko, the 18/1 chance also owned by JP McManus and trained by Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero, ran on strongly to finish second, with Jordans third after leading entering the home straight before fading late.
The win made JP McManus the most successful owner in the history of the race with four victories (Don't Push It 2010, Minella Times 2021, I Am Maximus 2024 and 2026). Willie Mullins became the first trainer since Vincent O'Brien in the 1950s (Early Mist 1953, Royal Tan 1954, Quare Times 1955) to win three Grand Nationals in a row, and his career Grand National total now stands at four wins including Hedgehunter back in 2005. Paul Townend's second National triumph brings him level among the leading active National-winning jockeys.
2025: Nick Rockett
- Jockey: Patrick Mullins
- Trainer: Willie Mullins
- Owner: Stewart & Sadie Andrew
Willie Mullins made it back-to-back Grand National wins in 2025 thanks to Nick Rockett’s surprise victory at Aintree. With a starting price of 33/1, he flew under the radar and finished ahead of the 2024 winner and 7/1 shot I Am Maximus in another thrilling race.
With Grangeclare West finishing third behind I Am Maximus, Willie Mullins achieved a clean sweep of the top three places.
2024: I Am Maximus
- Jockey: Paul Townend
- Trainer: Willie Mullins
- Owner: JP McManus
Willie Mullins secured his first Grand National win since 2005 when I Am Maximus rode to victory under Paul Townend. He set off as the 7/1 joint-favourite to become only the fifth starting favourite to win the National this century.
The 2024 National finished 1-2-3-4 for Irish stables, with Delta Work, Minella Indo and Galvin rounding the top four. The other 7/1 joint-favourite, Limerick Lace under Mark Walsh, finished tenth.
2023: Corach Rambler
- Jockey: Derek Fox
- Trainer: Lucinda Russell
- Owner: The Ramblers
Many backed Corach Rambler to win again in 2024, as he won the 175th renewal of the Grand National in 2023. He completed an impressive double, as the Scottish-trained horse won the Cheltenham Festival a month earlier in the Ultima Handicap Chase. There was strong confidence behind the Aintree winner, who went off at 15/2 for the race, but he was unseated and didn’t finish the race. Lucinda Russell retired Corach Rambler later in 2024.
2022: Noble Yeats
- Jockey: Sam Waley-Cohen
- Trainer: Emmet Mullins
- Owner: Robert Waley-Cohen
In 2022, Noble Yeats became the first seven-year-old horse since 1940 to come out on top in the famous steeplechase. He was ridden to victory by Sam Waley-Cohen, an amateur jockey who was having his final ride in the saddle before retiring. It was the first time an amateur rider had won the race since Marcus Armytage managed that feat in 1990 onboard Mr Frisk.
2021: Minella Times
- Jockey: Rachael Blackmore
- Trainer: Henry de Bromhead
- Owner: JP McManus
History was made in the 2021 Grand National as Rachael Blackmore became the first female jockey to win the race when she partnered Minella Times to victory. The Irish-based horse, trained by Henry De Bromhead, finished just ahead of his stablemate Balko Des Flos in what was a 1-2 for the trainer.
2019: Tiger Roll
- Jockey: Davy Russell
- Trainer: Gordon Elliott
- Owner: Gigginstown House Stud
Aboard Tiger Roll, Davy Russell became the first jockey since Brian Fletcher on Red Rum (1973 & 1974) to win back-to-back Grand Nationals on the same horse. He set off as the 4-1 favourite and finished three lengths ahead of the 66-1 shot Magic of Light to write his name into the history books.
