Went off as one of the race favourites in 2021 and had a really great race under jockey Mark Walsh. Had to settle for third place but looks set to be back again in 2022.

Ran straight into the history books in 2021 when winning the Grand National with Rachael Blackmore on board. An incredible race, a superb victory and a one-two for trainer Henry De Bromhead who also saddled the runner up.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 0-1221 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 8 | TRAINER: H DE BROMHEAD
Winner of the National Hunt Challenge Cup at the Cheltenham Festival in 2021. Run over 3m6f, it was a solid inkling that Glavin had plenty of stamina to challenge for the Grand National 2022.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 2-11111 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 7 | TRAINER: I FERGUSON
Winner of the Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse in 2019, he gave Willie Mullins his first win in the race. He was a firm favourite in 2021 and despite a great race didn’t have it in the tank to challenge Minella Times and finished in 4th place. Will no doubt challenge again in the Grand National 2022.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 1-2624 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 8 | TRAINER: W MULLINS
Winner of the Coral Welsh National in January 2021, Secret Reprieve was so close to starting the National in April but missed out on a spot and will have to wait until the 2022 Grand National to take his chances.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 22-F11 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 7 | TRAINER: E WILLIAMS
Winner of the Ladbrokes Trophy Chase in November 2020, Cloth Cap was a very exciting prospect and went off as the 2021 favourite. However, he didn’t finish the race and pulled up at the 28th fence. Will he back in 2022?
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 8-311P | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 9 | TRAINER: J O’NEILL
Was second to Galvin at the Cheltenham Festival but is so lightly chased that he will need some significant experience under his belt if he is to genuinely contend in 2022.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 1/2112 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 9 | TRAINER: P NICHOLLS
Quite young at just 7-years-old but got his chasing career off to a great start winning two as a novice. Despite his young age, still made it around the Grand National course to finish in 5th place. 2022 could be his year.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: -53425 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 7 | TRAINER: D FOSTER
Was 4th in the Irish National in 2021 which was enough to prove his worth and lay down a marker for the 2022 Grand National. Another good season should boost his claims.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 12224- | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 8 | TRAINER: P NOLAN
A rapidly developing chaser that was second at Cheltenham before heading to the Grand National festival to win the Betway Handicap Chase in 2021. Young and with plenty of room to improve, another good season could solidify his chances for 2022.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: -12121 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 7 | TRAINER: K BAILEY
Finished last season witha second place finish in the Irish Grand National but is the kind of horse that does much better on heavy ground so a bit of rain will be needed if he takes his chances in the Grand National 2022.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 55222- | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 7 | TRAINER: D FOSTER
Changed trainers in March 2021 and it looks like it paid off as Dingo Dollar won at Newcastle before heading for the Scottish Grand National where he finished in 2nd place under jockey Ryan Mania.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 0P12- | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 9 | TRAINER: S THOMSON
Very lightly chased with only five runs over fences under his belt. However, despite this he has really stepped up in distance, finishing third in the Bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown in April.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 21P13- | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 7 | TRAINER: P NICHOLLS
I have no idea why this horse is even in the betting as he is so young that even by the time the 2022 Grand National rolls around, he couldn’t qualify!
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 43712- | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 5 | TRAINER: C WILLIAMS
Does well at Cheltenham and was 2nd in the National Hunt in 2019 before placing third in the Ultima in 2020. A good chaser in the making and had a good run in the National to finish in 7th place.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: 33-257 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 8 | TRAINER: P NOLAN
Surprised everybody by finishing in second place in the Grand National, behind stable mate Minella Times. Went off at odds of 100/1 which gave his each-way backers something to cheer about.
NO. | JOCKEY: UNKNOWN | FORM: -4764U2 | WEIGHT: UNKNOWN | AGE: 10 | TRAINER: H DE BROMHEAD
Won the Red Mills Chase in Feb 2020 and headed to Cheltenham the following month for a run in the Gold Cup, finishing in 10th place. Was second in the Ladbrokes Champion Chase last season and ran well in the Grand National until he unseated four fences from home.

People will tell you that picking a 2022 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. So if you want to back a horse on the best horse racing betting sites, then make sure you whittle down your selections to help find a winner.
