Bristol De Mai tops National weights - (2025)

The weights for the Randox Health Grand National have been released today, at 3pm, and Nigel Twiston-Davies’ grand ‘chaser Bristol De Mai, (above), a standing dish at Haydock Park, heads the weights on 11st 10lbs as he bids for more Merseyside glory in ‘the big one.’

Over 100 entries at this stage, but they’ll be whittled down so that a maximum of 40 face the starter on Saturday, April 6th.

Prize fund – over £1 million. Distance – Four miles, two furlongs and 74 yards. 30 fences. Immortality for the winner.

Reigning champion Tiger Roll has been allotted 11st 1lb, as he tries to emulate Red Rum no less as a serial winner. It’s so difficult that no-one since ‘Rummy’ has achieved it. ‘Tiger’ is up 9lbs from last year’s mark.

Worth remembering Red Rum’s record in the race. Five attempts. Three wins. Two seconds. If that’s ever eclipsed in my lifetime I’ll eat my anorak.

Welsh National hero Elegant Escape has 11st 4lbs, and the 2017 star One for Arthur 10st 10lbs.
