Winner of the 2019 and 2018 Grand Nationals, Tiger Roll wrote himself into the history books as the first runner to win back-to-back Grand Nationals. Will he back for the treble in 2020?
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 1-4111 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 10 | TRAINER: G ELLIOTT
Winner of the Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse in 2019, he gave Willie Mullins his first win in the race. He will only be 7 when the 2020 Grand National rolls around which may be a little on the young side for Aintree.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 111-531 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 7 | TRAINER: W MULLINS
Was entered in 2019 but withdrawn to go to the Cheltenham Gold Cup instead. On good form, he finished in 6th place and then ran in the Betway Bowl Chase at Aintree but came last.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 266-236 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 8 | TRAINER: C TIZZARD
Kimberlite Candy cruised into Grand National 2020 contention when winning last time out at Warwick. Over 3m5f, the 8-year-old won by a staggering 10L adding to his already impressive second-place finish in the Becher Chase in December.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 935P-21 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 8 | TRAINER: T LACEY
The Grand National always throws up a surprise and in 2019 it was the epic performance from 125/1 shot Magic Of Light. The mare romped home in second place and gave trainer Jessica Harrington a memorable debut as a trainer!
NO. | JOCKEY:UNKNOWN | FORM: U72-311 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 9 | TRAINER: J HARRINGTON
With 15 wins or places from 16 chase starts, Native River is as good as they come. The former Gold Cup winner may take his chances in the 2020 Grand National at Aintree but only time will tell.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 11/234-1 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 10 | TRAINER: C TIZZARD
Despite his limited preparation, in 2019, Rathvinden did very well and finished third in the Grand National. But at 12-years-old by the time the 2020 Grand National comes around, he may not get another chance.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 14/13-04 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 12 | TRAINER: W MULLINS
The Becher Chase winner clearly loves Aintree. Despite only a couple of small prep races he returned for Grand National and finished in 4th place. Could easily be back again for 2020.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 1334-P1 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 10 | TRAINER: R WALFORD
Winner of the Galway Plate in 2019 but will have to step up in trip this season to ensure he can get around the Aintree course. A solid chaser with plenty of potential.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 09-1110 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 9 | TRAINER: G ELLIOTT
Winner of the National Hunt at the Cheltenham Festival, Le Breuil is definitely a serious Grand National 2020 contender. With stamina in bucket loads, age on his side, great form and able to carry hefty weights, he's one to watch.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 241-P75 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 8 | TRAINER: B PAULING
Winner of the Welsh National in December, Potters Corner also won the Midlands Grand National back in March. A runner with buckets of stamina but may need the ground on the softer side to show his true potential in the 2020 Grand National.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 1-5P011 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 10 | TRAINER: C WILLIAMS
Was fourth in the 2018 Grand National and was second in the Gold Cup 2019. He then headed back to Aintree but was burdened with top weight so his fifth-place finish was quite good all things considered!
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 225-98 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 10 | TRAINER: AJ MARTIN
Was on a roll last season and doing well until he fell in the Irish Grand National. But if he bounces back and puts in another good season he would be a contender for the 2020 Grand National.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 31F-62U | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 8 | TRAINER: T WALSH
His last two outings to Aintree haven't been very successful. In fact he fell in both the Becher Chase and the Grand National last season. This season has started better with a solid win at Chepstow.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: PF-1140 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 10 | TRAINER: N TWISTON-DAVIES
Connections can't complain about the lack of runs from Cadmium. He ran 10 times last season and finished by winning the Topham Chase at the Aintree Festival. However, he will need to step up in trip if the 2020 Grand National is seriously on the cards.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 4121-5 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 8 | TRAINER: W MULLINS
Winner of the Ladbrokes Trophy Chase in November 2019, De Rasher Counter beat out the likes of Elegant Escape and Borice and could be a definite Grand National 2020 contender. Plans are not yet definite and connections will wait to see how the handicapper rates him first.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 121-61 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 8 | TRAINER: E LAVELLE
Shaping up to be a formidable chaser but will still only be 7-years-old when the Grand National 2020 rolls around which is quite young.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 142-06P | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 7 | TRAINER: C TIZZARD
Winner of the 2017 National but missed out on the 2018 race due to injury. He returned in 2019 and ran another great race but ended up in 6th place, 26L behind Tiger Roll.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: UU6-45 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 11 | TRAINER: L RUSSELL
Was second in 2018 and was back in 2019 to take his chances but unfortunately he unseated Paul Townend. While he may be back to contend the 2020 Grand National, it's unlikely.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 00U-09 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 12 | TRAINER: W MULLINS
Well handicapped in 2019, hopes were high for Ramses De Teillee. However, the distance proved too much for him and he was pulled up. A year older in 2020 and he could do much better.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 22P-14 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 8 | TRAINER: D PIPE
Lightly chased but well on his way to becoming a formidable stayer. A win at Sandown, over 3m5f, in April put him straight into contention for the Grand National.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 1251-3 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 8 | TRAINER: A KING
With nine chases under his belt, he has won four and placed in two more so an excellent record over fences. A really classy runner, but one who performs better on the soft ground.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 13-531 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 8 | TRAINER: P KIRBY
Unfortauntely, despite high hopes, Vintage Clouds didn't make it passed the first fence in 2019. Connections then took him to the Scottish National where he finished in 6th place.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 6-5P31 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 10 | TRAINER: S SMITH
Moved from Venetia Williams to Paul Nicholls in October and has had two runs under his new trainer since, coming third in the Welsh National. Has previously had multiple Grand National entries but never actually run in the race.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 57-031 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 10 | TRAINER: P NICHOLLS
Beware The Bear is a formidable chaser who has won some notable races including the Ultima Handicap in the 2019 Cheltenham Festival. He will get an entry for the 2020 Grand National but may also go back to Cheltenham first.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 11P-48 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 10 | TRAINER: N HENDERSON
One for all the Chris's out there, this potential Grand National runner is lightly chased but has notched up three wins, all at Navan Racecourse, from his six starts over fences. Does well at 3m but no real indication of how he would fair beyond that distance.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 1215-P1 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 8 | TRAINER: H DE BROMHEAD
A third-place finish in the Scottish National and the prospect of Cloth Cap running in the 2020 Grand National became more of a reality. He needs to get some good prep runs to increase his OR to be guaranteed a spot.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 13-432 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 8 | TRAINER: J O'NEILL
A win at Wincanton on his seasonal return and all talked was then aimed at the 2020 Grand National. Will need a few more runs under his belt to gauge his true form but things are looking good for a potential National run.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 4F4-17 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 10 | TRAINER: P NICHOLLS
If experience is your top criteria for backing a 2020 Grand National runner you could do worse than Takingrisks who has had 18 chase runs! Plus he has either won or placed in 11 of them including the Scottish National last April.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 611-516 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 11 | TRAINER: N RICHARDS
Big River had a decent run last season finishing 4th in the Ultima at Cheltenham before heading to the Scottish Grand National where he finished in 5th place.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 645-PB1 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 10 | TRAINER: L RUSSELL
One of the most experienced potential runners in the 2020 Grand National, Cogry has notched up 33 of them. He was won or placed in roughly half of them including a second place in the Scottish National in 2017, as well as 16 runs at Cheltenham. Has the potential to do very well.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 10U-312 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 11 | TRAINER: N TWISTON-DAVIES
Was a decent hurdler before heading down the chase route in 2018. Since then he has had four chase runs and finished last season with a trip to Aintree where he finished 10th in the Betway Handicap Chase.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: F2110- | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 9 | TRAINER: T VAUGHAN
Discorama is a solid by young and lightly chased potential Grand National 2020 runner. Given that he will only be 7 years old by the time the race rolls around, it is unlikely we will see him take part this season.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: F2-2283 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 7 | TRAINER: P NOLAN
While it would be incredible to see the Ryanair Chase winner take to the 2020 Grand National fences, it's also highly unlikely. With the Ryanair Chase and the Cheltenham Gold cup both on the cards, connections will probably swerve Aintree this season.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 111-331 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 8 | TRAINER: P NICHOLLS
Jerrysback has huge potential but has only run seven times and that includes twice over hurdles. So from five chase starts he has won or placed in four of them, including a third-place at Cheltenham in the National Hunt Challenge.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 223-03 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 8 | TRAINER: P HOBBS
He unseated in the Grand National but was run a couple of weeks later in the Irish Grand National but was pulled up by jockey Robbie Power. We should definitely see him back in 2020.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 11UP-64 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 9 | TRAINER: G ELLIOTT
As outsiders go, Kildisart is one to keep an eye on. Winning or placing in five of his six chase starts, his form is very good. However, it should be noted that he has only run once at more than 3m and that was back in April when he won a Handicap Chase at Aintree.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 41-366 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 8 | TRAINER: B PAULING
We tipped him for the Grand National but knew that the distance would always be a question mark. And so it was as he was pulled up by Henry Brooke when he got hampered by a faller. That aside he was doing well and could come back again in 2020.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 113P-53 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 10 | TRAINER: N ALEXANDER
With a lot of punters latching on to his name, Livelovelaugh was backed from 66/1 to just 25/1 on the day of the Grand National. He got around the course but could only manage 11th place.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: P200-20 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 10 | TRAINER: W MULLINS
A runner that is really on form this season with three wins and two seconds from five runs since October. However, all three wins came on heavy ground so the more rain the better that is if he makes the cut!
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 422111 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 7 | TRAINER: R HOBSON
Always puts in the effort and has some notable places in big races but wins few of them – except for the Kim Muir at Cheltenham in 2018. Because of injury, he hasn't been seen since December 2018 when he was 6th in the Becher Chase.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 321P/6- | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 10 | TRAINER: W GREATREX
Has plenty of Grand National experience and was 8th in 2017 and 7th when he ran again in 2019. Mixed form so far this season but did win at Ascot last time out so still has plenty to offer.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 082P1 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 12 | TRAINER: A HONEYBALL
Wasn't really in contention until his most recent win at Leopardstown in the Paddy Power Chase. That boosted his OR so now he would make the cut but at just 7-years-old, it's a big ask.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 36-301 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 7 | TRAINER: G ELLIOTT
An interesting potential contender, Saint Xavier spent most of his racing career in France before moving to Paul Nicholls yard in November 2019. He has only run twice for his new trainer with a rocky start at Cheltenham before winning at Kempton last time out. But that was a very small novice hurdle with only 3 runners.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 3146-71 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 8 | TRAINER: P NICHOLLS
A fine chaser in the making but one with little experience over fences, and despite his decent OR, he's still a touch too young to seriously contend in 2020. Connections may wait another year.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 1135-1 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 7 | TRAINER: K BAILEY
Mixed results this season with a win and two places at Cheltenham but also unseated at Newbury and pulled-up in the Welsh National. However, those results are pretty good considering this is his first proper chasing season.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: -21U3P | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 10 | TRAINER: C TIZZARD
Moved from Dan Skelton to Willie Mullins back in September and has had four runs out under her new trainer. The first two were promising with a win in the Munster National but has since pulled up in the Ladbrokes Trophy Chase and fell in the Paddy Power Chase.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: -F21PF | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 8 | TRAINER: W MULLINS
Just made the cut in 2019 and with some good form behind him, it looked like he could run a solid race. However, he pulled up after he started to weaken four out. But even then he was just in the middle of the pack and never really contended.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 62PP-37 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 11 | TRAINER: R CURTIS
Minella Rocco is not on good form at all. Since March last year, he has had five runs, pulling up in four of them. Most recently he finished 8th but that was with 12st on his back so all things considered, that was probably a decent result.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: PPP-P8 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 10 | TRAINER: J O'NEILL
Has been steadily climbing through the distances and in the last year has been running at more than 3m, topping it off with a trip around the Welsh National where he finished 9th, 29L behind the winner Potters Corner.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 2128-29 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 9 | TRAINER: S EDMUNDS
A solid chaser who despite only being 7-years-old is on good form and capable of turning in good performances. That said it has been nearly a year since he last won a chase and that was only over 2m4f. His run in the Irish National last season resulted in an 8th place finish.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 8-3424 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 7 | TRAINER: N MEADE
A runner who mixes up the hurdles and chases throughout the season and is equally good at both. However, this season has seen a couple of blips when unseating in the Galway Plate, pulling up in the Kerry National and falling in the Ladbrokes Trophy Chase.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: U1P4F | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 10 | TRAINER: W MULLINS
Was second in the Badger Beers Chase behind Give Me A Copper in November, his best result to date given the class and distance. He definitely has potential but the 2020 Grand National may be a big ask.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 72122 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 9 | TRAINER: N MULHOLLAND

More About The Runners…
People will tell you that picking a Grand National winner is a lottery, they'll say that on the day any one of the 40 runners could win. In some respects that statement is true, the National remains one of the most open races in the world. In fact, the first ever winner (1839) was called ‘Lottery', appropriately enough.
But this belief isn’t borne out by the stats. In fact, by looking down the list of winners over the past 40 years – you can spot patterns that will help narrow the field of runners down to a shortlist of entrants who have the right stuff to triumph at Aintree.
We've put together a list of the key traits which many Grand National winners display. Of course, every few years a horse will come along and rip up the form book.
