The 2024 Grand National takes place on Saturday afternoon.
The four miles, two-and-a-half furlong steeplechase is known as the People's Race, with millions of national and international fans tuning in to witness the event. This year, there are 34 horses going head-to-head in Britain's most iconic race.
