We’re delighted to have you with us and hope you’re ready for a fantastic afternoon both on and off the track. Today promises exhilarating racing, great company, and plenty of excitement throughout the racecourse.

The Grand National will be shown LIVE on big screens across the venue at 16:00, so you won’t miss a moment of the action from Aintree. The Aintree Grand National is one of the most iconic and prestigious races in the British sporting calendar, renowned for its rich history, unique fences, and the incredible stories it produces year after year. We’re thrilled that you’re joining us here at Chepstow Racecourse to experience this truly special occasion together, sharing in the excitement as the drama unfolds at Aintree. For those looking to get even closer to the action, all on-course bookmakers will be taking bets on the race, so you can be part of every stride right up to the famous ﬁnish. All runners for the Aintree Grand National are listed in today’s racecard, which is available to purchase from the two racecard huts located around the racecourse.

We extend our sincere thanks to all owners, trainers, jockeys and connections for their continued support in bringing their horses to race here. It has been a superb National Hunt season, and we now look ahead to its ﬁnale with the much-loved Dunraven Bowl on 24th April. Beyond that, we’re excited to turn our attention to the ﬂat season, beginning on Thursday 21st May.

A big thank you also goes to today’s sponsors, TipTop Toilets, for their valued support we hope you enjoy a wonderful day with us.

ENTERTAINMENT:

After the ﬁnal race, the party continues—so don’t go anywhere!

Get ready for a high-energy live tribute performance from the Kaiser Monkey Killers, bringing iconic anthems to life in the Bonanza Boy Marquee. Throughout the day there will be a DJ to keep the atmosphere buzzing between races with a great mix of music, ensuring there’s never a dull moment.

LOOKING AHEAD:

2026 is a landmark year as we celebrate our Centenary, with a fantastic season of events building towards our Centenary Raceday on Sunday 9th August—one to mark ﬁrmly in your diary.

Looking ahead to the summer, don’t miss UB40 featuring Ali Campbell performing live after racing at our Rum and Reggae Caribbean Racenight on Friday 24th July. Hospitality options are ﬁlling fast, so be sure to get in touch if you’d like to join us in one of our premium spaces.

We’re also delighted to welcome Olivia Bowen and Alex Bowen for this year’s Ladies Day. Moving to a Saturday evening, Olivia will host the Style Awards while Alex takes to the decks for a live DJ set after racing on Saturday 27th June—an event not to be missed.

Star Ratings Explained

Each horse has been given a star rating, these are deﬁned below:

HHHHH Selected to win the race

HHHHI Good chance of being placed.

HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims

HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope HIIII Can be given little or no chance.

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED

The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufﬁcient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions

A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances). The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in nonhandicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were conﬁrmed Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating Such ratings are preﬁxed by the letter h.

WEIGHTWATCHER: THE NEWEST ONE won off a handicap mark of 122, his rating is now down 9lb to 113. LONGEST TRAVELLER: HAPPY AND FINE trained by A Hales, Edgecote, 105 miles.

THE BOOLA BOSS made all in this last year off the same mark and after a promising run at Newbury last time, he shades the vote over Camulus, who’s bidding for the 4-timer having defied a 12-month absence at Wincanton 8 weeks ago. The veteran Sizable Sam had excuses last time and isn’t written off just yet.

PLAY SMARTER

Willie Mullins saddled an unprecedented 1-2-3 in this 12 months ago and it’s possible J P McManus could repeat the feat as an owner, so strong is his hand this year JOHNNYWHO and Jagwar are both ahead of their marks after ﬁnishing 1-2 in the Ultima at Cheltenham and can lead home 2024 winner I Am Maximus. Perceval Legallois is yet another likely type in the famous green and gold silks, while, at bigger odds, Gorgeous Tom and Favori de Champdou also have plenty to recommend them.
