William Hill, the sponsors of Saturday’s Becher Chase at Aintree, have dangled a \u00a3500,000 bonus carrot to the winners – should they also go onto land the 2026 Grand National.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meaning the 2025 Becher Chase winning owners, who will bank \u00a384k this weekend, can potentially have a shot at a million pound windfall in the world’s greatest steeplechase next April.<\/p>\n

Becher Chase Winning Owners Could Become Millionaires \ud83d\udcb0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With the sponsors of this Saturday’s Becher Chase at Aintree, William Hill, putting up a \u00a3500,00 bonus should the winner go onto land the 2026 Grand National – this means the winning owners have a shot of becoming millionaires.<\/p>\n

This is because the National itself carries a first prize of \u00a3500,000 from their sponsors Randox – meaning there’s a cool one million on the table.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t long too long ago that Betfair had in play a similar bonus\u00a0 – when they stumped up \u00a31m should any horse win the Betfair Chase, King George VI Chase and Cheltenham Gold Cup.<\/p>\n

With Kauto Star landing the jackpot in 2007, when he won all three races for trainer Paul Nicholls.<\/p>\n

That bonus is no longer in place, but the good news for the ITV Racing scheduled<\/a> contest this Saturday – is William Hill are\u00a0 putting their money where their mouth is by offering this Becher Chase\/Grand National bonus.<\/p>\n

Hills man Lee Phelps said \u201c19 runners have been confirmed for the William Hill Becher Chase, the first William Hill Half A Mill race of the season. Mr Vango heads the betting for Sara Bradstock, the progressive chaser was unlucky to be balloted out of the 2025 Randox Grand National but holds strong claims to book his ticket into the 2026 renewal, with a potential \u00a3500,000 bonus on offer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Becher Chase Favourite 50\/1 For The Grand National \ud83c\udfc7<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It looks like the 2025 Becher Chase favourite is going to be Mr Vango, who will head to Aintree having won his last three races.<\/p>\n

This Sara Bradstock stayer was last seen winning the Midlands Grand National back in March (watch below) and has been raised 9lbs as a result.<\/p>\n

The nine year-old is now the clear top-rated in the race and as a result will have to shoulder 12st.<\/p>\n

But if he is to win, Mr Vango will have to defy some key Becher Chase trends<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As, despite having a good record fresh, 18 of the last 22 winners had raced once already that season.<\/p>\n

While 17 of the last 22 winners carried 10st 12lbs or less.<\/p>\n

The Becher Chase favourite will also be having his first run over the National fences.<\/p>\n

And the trends also tell us 14 of the last 22 (64%) winners of the race had tackled this tricky obstacles in the past.<\/p>\n

If Mr Vango can kick these stats into touch though, his 50\/1 Grand National odds are sure to shorten.<\/p>\n

With his owners – Cracker and Smodge Partnership – then dreaming of that \u00a31m payday next April in the Grand National.<\/p>\n
