Grand National 2023 preview: Rachael Blackmore mount Ain't That A Shame among favourites
Runners in the Grand National face 30 fences over four and a quarter mileswhen becoming the first female jockey to win the Grand National.
Sam Waley-Cohen triumphed in his final race a year ago on the Emmet Mullins-trained Noble Yeats, who is now partnered by Sean Bowen. She will watch the race at home and is staying positive despite saying there have been a "few bad days" and "tears" since being diagnosed in October. "Winning is a dream and if it happened it would be the best day of all our lives, but it is a 40-runner race and there is a lot that needs to go your way," said Sword.
