2025 Grand National Weights Allocation Table
2025 Grand National Top Weights and Key Horses
Last year's Grand National winner, I Am Maximus, has been allocated top weight for the 2025 race at Aintree on April 5, carrying 11st 12lb. Trained by Willie Mullins and owned by JP McManus, I Am Maximus won by 7.5 lengths in 2024, ahead of runner-up Delta Work, with Minella Indo third and Galvin fourth.
Mullins, who also won the National with Hedgehunter in 2005, acknowledged the challenge of winning again with top weight, noting no top-weight horse has won since Red Rum in 1974. “It’s tough, but we expected it,” Mullins said.
Royale Pagaille is second with 11st 9lb, followed by L'Homme Presse, Grangeclare West, Nick Rockett, and Envoi Allen, all on 11st 8lb. Despite the weight, I Am Maximus is joint favourite with Inothewayurthinkin (11st 5lb). Delta Work is on 11st 2lb, Minella Indo a pound higher, and Galvin on 10st 13lb.
A field size maximum of the 34 top-rated horses will take their places at the start line for the biggest and toughest single National Hunt jumping spectacle in the world.
