Grand National 2025 betting

Grand National odds are on paddypower.com and prices for the leading contenders can be seen on our snazzy widgets below.

Inothewayurthinkin is the favourite with Paddy Power to win the Grand National after staying on strongly to place fourth in the Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup.

ย 

The Willie Mullins-trained I Am Maximus is next in our early betting as last yearโ€™s winner attempts to retain the crown.

ย 

Ownermate Iroko is also prominent as the Aintree feature has been the long-term aim for the Cheltenham Festival winner.

*Odds quoted on the widget are Future Racing / Antepost prices which means that if your selection does not run in the race for whatever reason โ€“ you will lose your stake under traditional Antepost rules
