The Top 5 Grand National Runners of 2020

 
The Grand National is one of the most anticipated and mesmerizing National Hunt Horse Race that is held annually at Aintree Racecourse, near Liverpool, England. This is the most valuable jump race you will ever witness in England and a prominent racing event in British culture. In 2020, the Grand National meeting will commence on April 2, 2020 and will continue till April 4, 2020.
As similar to all the sports, ante post racing also offers betting opportunities. The Grand National ante post betting is available before the racing commences and the betting market is opened. Last year in 2019, the winning amount was £1 million which was won by Tiger Roll, under the training of Gordon Elliott and ridden by jockey Davy Russell. Therefore, today we are going to discuss the top 5 Grand National runners of 2020 and why they are fancied for this season.
 
Tiger Roll
Tiger Roll is a top Irish Bred NH Thoroughbred who competed and won the Randox Health Grand National back in 2018 and 2019. The trainer of the horse is Gordon Elliott and to date, Tiger Roll has earned £1.3 million. Tiger Roll has pulled fantastic wins for two years straight, do you think he can win again in the 2020 Grand National?
 
Burrows Saint
From France, Burrows Saint is a beautiful horse aged only 7 years. He won the 2019 Irish Grand National and is trained by Willie Mullins. He is still young and the last horse who won a Grand National at such a young age was back in 1940. Despite this he is a favorite horse for Grand National in 2020. Clearly, with his respected connections their will be plenty of bettors eager to make him their choice for the race.
 
Magic of Light
Trained by Jessica Harrington, the soon to be 9-year-old Magic of Light from Ireland was the runner-up in Grand National 2019 and hence it is expected that Magic of Light can turn the tables in 2020 in its favor. Magic of Light is a mare and it is expected that she will give tough competition to Tiger Roll this year at the Grand National.
 
 
Native River
The Irish bred chestnut Native River is soon to be a 10-year-old and is trained by Colin Tizzard. Last year in 2019 at Grand National Native River faced disappointment due to a broken rein but in 2020 it is expected the beautiful horse can race to victory. Native River won the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 2018.
 
Le Breuil
Le Breuil is French bred Thoroughbred racehorse who is just an 8-year-old. Trained by Ben Pauling, Le Breuil won the National Hunt Challenge Cup in 2019 at the Cheltenham Festival. It is expected that this horse can mark his statement at the Grand National in 2020 and bettors are picking him as one fo their favorites.
 
Best of luck to all runners!
