Grand National 2022 final 40 runners and riders after three reserves get in

Last year's winner Minella Times heads the final 40 runners for Saturday's 2022 Randox Grand National at Aintree Racecourse. But there three changes to the line-up as Phoenix Way, Easysland and Lord Du Mesnil were declared non-runners meaning three reserves Commodore, School Boy Hours and Romain De Senam replaced them.

Commodore, who won on his only start of the season at Cheltenham in December, is currently a best-priced 40-1 with Bet365. Despite being bottom weights all three reserves will carry the number of the horse they replace. Commodore will take over Pheonix Way's No.33, School Boy Hours will take Easysland's No.3 and Romain De Senam takes Lord Du Mesnil's No.17.

Charlie Longsdon's Becher Chase heroine – and 'mum' Snow Leopardess – is the 9-1 favourite with William Hill. Last year's third, Ted Walsh's Any Second Now, is 10-1 with the same bookmakers. While 2021 hero Minella Times is now an 11-1 chance with Unibet.

Gordon Elliott's recent Cheltenham winner Delta Work is also 11-1 with William Hill and is one of seven entries for the triple Grand National-winning trainer in Saturday's Aintree showpiece.

Ciaran Muphy's Enjoy D'allen, the Colin Tizzard-trained Fiddlerontheroof and Eider Chase runner-up Eclair Surf, from Emma Lavelle stable, are all 14-1 chances with a number of bookmakers.
