Virtual Grand National 2020 sweepstake kit

There is no actual Grand National this year but fear not.

For there is a race taking place today, albeit a virtual Grand National.

The coronavirus pandemic led to the cancellation of the world's most famous steeplechase. Whilst it was clearly the right decision, it was still a disappointment for racegoers.

Aintree will be empty today but you can still watch the virtual race on ITV at 5:15pm this afternoon.

You can also bet on it, with all bets capped at £10 or £10 each-way and the bookmakers' profits being donated to the NHS.

Amid the cancellation of the real thing, Inspired Entertainment stepped in and their virtual Grand National will be broadcast on the TV.

Taking into account a number of factors including form, weight and ground preferences, the virtual National has predicted the winner of the actual race in two of the last three years.

We've created a sweepstake kit for you to have a little bit of fun this weekend.
