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.

All the weights for the 87 entries for the Grand National at Aintree on April 5 are as follows below. ⯆

#Continuing The Search For All The Grand National Records Dating Back To 1839, when the aptly named "Lottery" won the 1st National, or what was know as the Grand Liverpool Steeplechase, where the horses jumped over a stone wall, hurdles and ran through a ploughed field..

Historical Context for Pre-1990 Replays 📽

#1839–1890: No video recordings exist. You might find historical accounts, newspaper reports, or artistic depictions (e.g., paintings, sketches) in archives like the British Library, Aintree Racecourse records, or The Jockey Club’s archives. These won’t be videos but could uncover text or image based records.

#1890s–1920s: Early film technology existed (e.g., silent films), but horse racing footage from Aintree is rare. I might find grainy newsreels or documentaries on platforms like the British Pathé archive (some are actually availaable on YouTube) or the Imperial War Museums, but full Grand National replays are unlikely.

#1930s–1950s: Television and film became more common, but Grand National replays are sporadic. BBC and ITV archives (available via their websites or YouTube) might have snippets or highlights, though full races are rare. I shall check the BBC Sport or ITV Racing archives, or platforms like the British Film Institute (BFI).

#1960s–1980s: More reliable foootage exists, but full replays on YouTube, Vimeo, or similar are still limited. Racing TV, The Jockey Club, or user-uploaded channels might have some, but many could be restricted (like the unsharable versions I have frequently encountered, but I can still link to them). I’ll need to dig into archival footage from broadcasters or racecourse libraries.
