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: 9 | 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: 3-4111 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 6 | TRAINER: W MULLINS
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 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 9 | TRAINER: C TIZZARD
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: 4-6225 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 9 | 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: 2531F | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 7 | TRAINER: T WALSH
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: 509-111 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 8 | TRAINER: G ELLIOTT
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: 344121 | 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Was entered in 2019 but withdrawn to go to the Cheltenham Gold Cup instead.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: -121266 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 7 | TRAINER: C TIZZARD
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: 112U72 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 8 | TRAINER: J HARRINGTON
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: -131142 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 6 | TRAINER: C TIZZARD
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: P2-00U | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 11 | 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: -5122P | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 7 | TRAINER: D PIPE
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: BU14-13 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 11 | TRAINER: W MULLINS
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: 21251- | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 7 | TRAINER: A KING
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: -123241 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 7 | TRAINER: B PAULING
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: -1P2F6 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 9 | TRAINER: S SMITH
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: -31334 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 9 | TRAINER: R WALFORD
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: 2/F645- | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 9 | TRAINER: L RUSSELL
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: -37211UP | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 8 | TRAINER: G ELLIOTT
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: 23-113P | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 9 | 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: F-P200 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 9 | TRAINER: W MULLINS
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: 11/UU6 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 10 | TRAINER: L RUSSELL
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: 11-62P | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 10 | TRAINER: R CURTIS

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.
