The Willie Mullins-trained Nick Rockett will return to defend his crown in Saturday’s Aintree Grand National – with a maximum field of 34 runners confirmed.

He’ll go head-to-head with stablemate and 2024 champion I Am Maximus in this year’s renewal.

Haiti Couleurs ((pron: ker-ler)) – trained by Rebecca Curtis – bids to become the first horse to add the Grand National to victories in the Welsh and Irish Nationals.
