Forty-horse field confirmed for Grand National

The field for Saturday's Grand National is confirmed, with 40 runners scheduled to take part in the world's most famous steeplechase.

The runners and riders have been confirmed for Saturday's Grand National at Aintree.

Nineteen-time champion jockey Tony McCoy, who retires later this month, will ride the favourite Shutthefrontdoor as he looks to end his career in fairytale fashion in the world's most famous steeplechase.

Last year's winner Pineau De Re also features, while five more of last year's top-seven finishers will also take their places at the start line on the Merseyside course.

Rocky Creek and Balthazar King have been tipped as Shutthefrontdoor's biggest challengers in the 168th staging of the race.
