Grand National 2027 Betting Odds

The Grand National 2027 betting odds, which have last year's winner I Am Maximus well ahead of the rest of the field at 9/1 (10.0), shouldn't be taken as a clear indication of how the race will unfold. The Grand National 2027 runners favourites odds tell only part of the story and in this article we delve deep into the Aintree showpiece taking place on 10 April, and although we can't say exactly who will win Grand National 2027, we look at all the main challengers and their odds.

We also analyse the best betting markets and give our top picks for Grand National success, including several worthwhile outsiders to consider.

1. Grand National 2027 Odds – Latest Betting Prices

An initial list of Grand National runners and odds numbering 80+ will get whittled down until the final 34 are left to tackle the famous course. Nevertheless, most of the leading bookmakers have been quick to offer up their early odds for Grand National 2027, with several familiar names featuring prominently.

Last year's winner, I Am Maximus, plus the next three across the finishing line (Iroko, Jordans and Johnnywho), are unsurprisingly well-fancied by the top brands, with the 2026 victor given a 9/1 chance, the 2nd and 3rd horses 16/1 (17.0), whilst the fourth home is 25/1 (26.0). The 2025 winner Nick Rockett missed last year's spectacular steeplechase through injury but is expected to be back to try and reclaim his crown at Grand National odds of 25/1 (26.0).

The Irish Grand National winner, Soldier In Milan has a price of 14/1 (15.0), and there's sure to be interest in the likes of Jagwar 20/1 (21.0), Kiss Will and Grangeclare West, each at 25/1 (26.0), and Fishery Lane, Mr Hope Street, Panic Attack, Meetmebythesea and Holloway Queen, who are all showing currently at 33/1 (34.0).

Favori De Champdou and Monty's Star both had top 10 finishes in last season's race and their 50/1 (51.0) Grand National 2027 betting odds will definitely attract support. For punters who like to back a grey horse, Kitzbuhel at 50/1 (51.0) appears to have the strongest credentials.

2. Grand National 2027 Betting – Popular Markets

Different brands will offer up contrasting Grand National 2027 betting terms for their market choices. Outright winner Grand National odds will always be popular, but potentially the best odds for Grand National success will be in the each-way betting market. Bookmakers will pay anywhere between 4 and 7 places, so finding a big-priced outsider who can sneak into one of those lower places can pay dividends. Punters can also explore the best free bets 2027 to find additional betting offers, although eligibility and promotional terms may vary.

Ante-post bets allow punters to secure a good price on their fancied horse well in advance of the race, whilst “Best Odds Guaranteed” pays whichever is the higher between the odds taken and the eventual starting price (SP), which provides genuine insurance against taking a price early and watching it lengthen. In-play Grand National live odds betting is possible as markets do adjust, but it's quite volatile as horses fall, lose position, or unseat riders.

3. Grand National 2027 Favourite Odds

Many of the leading bookmakers have published their ante-post Grand National odds 2027 and the top brands are mostly in agreement with regard to favourite status and closest rivals. Although only four of the last ten races had favourite Grand National winners odds at the start, that quartet from the past decade includes last year's I Am Maximus. He of course, also won in 2024 and was runner-up a year later, so his early Grand National 2027 betting odds of 9/1 not only make him a favourite but also look excellent value at this stage.

The three horses who followed the winner home in 2026 all feature amongst a significant number of Grand National betting tips for the 2027 race. Iroko (16/1), Jordans (16/1) and Johnnywho (25/1) will each have their own supporters, and for good reason. Iroko ran a great National in 2025 when finishing 4th, before being narrowly pipped into second spot last time. Jordans finished third in the 2026 National, despite his lack of 3m+ experience ahead of the race, which has to give him every chance on his reappearance. Johnnywho is now at the optimum National age of nine and looks very well treated to go even closer in 2027.

Soldier In Milan was hugely impressive when destroying the rest of the field and winning the Irish National and his price of 14/1 puts his second in the early betting.

4. Grand National 2027 Betting Tips and Expert Picks

There are certain markers that punters can look towards for race clues, alongside the Grand National runners 2027 odds. For example, eight of the last ten winners were 8 or 9 years old, although I Am Maximus in 2026 had turned ten, but he does seem to be an exceptional horse, as he was also one of only three horses out of the last ten Nationals to have carried a weight of more than 10-13 to victory (in both 2024 and 2026).

Additionally, nine of the last ten winners had either won or been placed in a race of 3 miles or longer, and eight of them had not fallen in the season they won their National. Below we pinpoint several of our Grand National 2027 expert picks:

4.1 Favourite to Win

It's difficult to ignore the credentials of I Am Maximus who has looked so impressive in his three previous Nationals - winning twice and runner-up in the other - and he's comfortably a clear favourite at this stage. Nevertheless, age does catch up on even the best of horses and it might be worth paying serious attention to several of the other major tips for the Grand National 2027.

4.2 Best Each-Way Pick

It often pays to look just below the favourites and towards the lively outsiders in the Grand National 2027 odds. Nick Rockett – after missing out through injury last year – is expected to be back to his best, which was good enough to carry him to victory in 2025, and with odds of 25/1, he has a lot of value.

Jagwar, with enticing 20/1 odds, has shown strong staying form that has propelled him into the reckoning and seen him amongst the tips for Grand National 2027. Barton Snow has won at Aintree already in a previous Foxhunters, so he has proved he has genuine potential and even though he was not tested at this distance, his 50/1 odds make him a very appealing each-way proposition.

4.3 Potential Outsider

There are always some horses who fly under the radar, sitting well down in the Grand National 2027 betting, but should however be taken seriously and this year Wendigo and Haiti Couleurs fall into that category. Not too many Grand National 2027 tips will mention Wendigo at this stage but he has a couple of statement victories to his name, including at Ayr, where he totally outclassed the opposition. He loves the soft ground so any rain will see his odds tumble from the current 66/1 (67.0).

Last year Haiti Couleurs won at Cheltenham, then followed it up by winning both the Irish and Welsh Grand Nationals, but found Aintree a bit more challenging, finishing 14th. 12 months on and regarded as an emerging staying type, he could very easily threaten the places at a big price. If you're considering backing an outsider like him, exploring different sports betting systems and strategies can help you make a more informed decision.
