When were the Grand National 2022 weights revealed?
The weights for the Grand National 2022 were revealed on Tuesday, February 15. It offers our first chance to get an idea of who’s likely to make the cut and who’ll probably miss out on running at Aintree. The handicapper once again came under fire from Tiger Roll’s connections after they disputed the mark awarded to the dual winner.
Who is the favourite to win the Grand National 2022?
Snow Leopardess is proving popular with punters thanks to her low position in the weights and course form after victory in December’s Becher Chase over the iconic fences.
Any Second Now finished third in 2021 and is prominent in Paddy Power’s betting market for the Grand National 2022. Ted Walsh’s charge enhanced his claims for the Aintree showpiece by winning the Grade 3 Bobbyjo Chase at Fairyhouse in February.
Delta Work has been a major market mover off the back of his defeat of Tiger Roll in a thrilling Cross Country Chase at last month’s Cheltenham Festival.
How much is the Grand National 2022 worth?
The winner of the Grand National will bag a cool £500,000 for connections, a sizeable increase from the £375,000 claimed by Minella Times last year. The total prize money has also shot up from £750,000 to £1m.
