Who are the latest confirmed jockeys for the 2025 Grand National? See our full guide here to every rider booked to ride in the world’s most famous race.
A good jockey can make all the difference in a race like the Grand National which requires plenty of versatility and quick reactions to what happens in front of you, so it’s an important part of picking your bets.
The 4m 2½f handicap steeplechase is unlike any other event on planet earth with 30 gruelling fences to tackle in a 34-runner field that can throw up the most shocking of results.
Backing a horse whose rider holds prior experience in a Grand National is huge – and if that experience is riding a winner or a placer, even better.
