Horse Racing Selections Including the Grand National 2026 – Saturday April 11, 2026

Featured

Good morning – we had a big winner with Will the Wise yesterday at 9/1! Boom! A couple of nice places too but frustrating one or two couldn’t run on to also win.

Today is the biggest horse race of the year in the UK and Ireland calendar with the Grand National (arguable for those who love the flat or Cheltenham, I know) at Aintree!

We already have an antepost pick with Grangeclare West for the big race at 10/1 but let’s have another look…
