Grand National runners and riders for 2019 - weights, odds and favourites as Mall Dini out of race

Last year's winner and 7-2 favourite Tiger Roll heads the final 40 runners for the 2019 Grand National at Aintree Racecourse.

As the final field was declared for the 172nd renewal of the world's greatest steeplechase just one horse from the five-day entries was removed, the Willie Mullins-trained Pairofbrowneyes,.

He has been replaced by last year's Scottish Grand National winner, Joe Farrell.

The Rebecca Curtis-trained 10-year-old was the subject of a gamble earlier in the week when it looked like he would make the cut.

He is a best-priced 20-1 with some bookmakers now.

Mall Dini out of Grand National 2019 in punters Aintree shock

Last year's fourth and recent Magners Cheltenham Gold Cup runner-up Anibale Fly, who is a 12-1 chance, heads the weights on 11st10lb.

He is a best-priced 14-1, while Gordon Elliott's Tiger Roll will carry 11st5lb in his bid to become the first horse since the legendary triple hero Red Rum in 1973-74 to win back-to-back Grand Nationals.

All the other leading fancies including the Mullins-trained Bobbyjo Chase winner Rathvinden, Sue Smith's Vintage Clouds and fellow Trevor Hemmings-owned Lake View Lad - from the Nick Alexander stable - all stood their ground.

Rathvinden is currently second favourite behind Tiger Roll at a best-priced 10-1.

With Mall Dini out of the race, there are now just three reserves, who will get in the race if any of the top 40 are declared non-runners by Friday's 1pm cut-off deadline, are in order: R1 The Young Master, R2 Isleofhopendreams, R3 Exitas.

The first reserve is the Jimmy Moffatt-trained Just A Par, who is owned by Liverpool-born Mark Scott.Scott will be hoping a horse drops out to allow him to have a second runner in the Grand National after Ely Brown in 2015.

Scott, who is from Aigburth, will be hoping for better luck if the 12-year-old Just A Par does line up.His only previous runner in the National, Ely Brown, fell at the first.
