WELCOME TO

Good evening and a very warm welcome to Aintree Racecourse for our ﬁnal ﬁxture of the season. We’re delighted to have you with us today.

It’s hard to believe the Randox Grand National Festival took place over a month ago and that we are now bringing another fantastic season to a close The achievements of I Am Maximus in this year’s renewal will live long in the memory, and it is safe to say he has well and truly earned his place in the history books as a dual Grand National winner

This afternoon’s action gets underway at 3.40pm with the Mascot Grand National, hosted in association with our charity partner, Alder Hey Children’s Hospital and sponsored by Golden Bear You can ﬁnd out more about the runners further on in the racecard, and it promises to be a fun and ﬁtting way to begin today’s proceedings

The first official race of the day goes off at 4.35pm, with the final race scheduled for 8.40pm I would like to take this opportunity to thank Inkerman, HA Civils, Hatfields Land Rover, and Huyton Asphalt. Your support across today’s card is greatly appreciated, and we wish you all a wonderful day with us

As always, we are incredibly grateful to all owners, trainers, jockeys, and connections who have supported us throughout the season Planning is already well underway for our 2026/27 opener in October, and we very much look forward to welcoming you back then

Finally, thank you all for joining us here today. We hope you have a fantastic evening and look forward to seeing you again in a few months

A DAY AT THE RACES EXPLAINED

Explore and familiarise yourself with the racecourse

Find out the time of the first race in the racecard. Races are about 30 minutes apart and provide a natural focus for your day.

Visit the Parade Ring around 20 minutes before each race This is your chance to see the horses up-close Look for signs of their fitness and attitude A glossy coat, pricked ears and alert nature are considered good.

Watch at least one race by the railings, as close to the finishing post as you can get.

RACEHORSES EXPLAINED

Jump horses are generally sturdier and bigger than Flat horses. Key attributes are endurance and strength.

Flat horses are lighter and more elegant for shorter, faster races. They use a different set of muscles, so muscle definition varies just like in human athletes.

On average, Jump horses race - or 'travel' - at 30mph.

Flat horses are faster at 35mph and the best exceed 40mph during a race

ALDER HEYMASCOT GRAND NATIONAL

Why are some mascots handicapped?

Some costumes are larger, heavier or harder to run in than others, so a few mascots are given a short head start to help even up the field

This race celebrates our long-standing charity partnership with Alder Hey Children’s Charity and the joy they bring to children and families. Find out more or donate at https://www.alderheycharity.org/

PLAY SMARTER

IKE SPORTwas second to Fingal’s Hill in this race a year ago but he arrives on the back of a cracking second in a better C&D handicap than this so he looks the answer this time. That aforementioned rival should give his running again but a biggerthreat may emerge in the shape of Rambo T down in class.

PLAY SMARTER

A few in with chances but SPARTAN TIMES upped his game to make a winning handicap debut in this sphere at Uttoxeter earlier in the month. With a conditional offsetting a subsequent 5lb rise, Jennie Candlish’s 5-y-o is fancied to follow up at the expense of Jamada, who should be well suited by the speed-favouring nature of handicaps at this time of year Juan Bermudez rounds off the shortlist.
