Grand National 2025 Sweepstake kit: Printable download for big race at Aintree
It’s nearly here: the most famous event in horseracing will capture the imagination of the country at 4pm on Saturday when the 2025 Grand National sets off at Aintree. And there’s 34 runners all hoping to mark the occasion by making history.
After the excitement of Cheltenham, racing’s biggest names will take to the turf again. Last year’s victor, I Am Maximus, will run for Willie Mullins again with hopes of making it two-in-a-row.
While plenty of us will be poring over the line-up on Saturday morning, some people prefer a sweepstake. If that’s you, then good news: Mirror Sport has you covered. You can print out our sweepstake kit, cut out the names of all the participants and set your entry fee. Then all that’s left to do is for everybody to pick a name out of a hat and settle in!
Whether you’re playing along with family, friends or work colleagues, all you need to do is download our sweepstake kit before the race on Saturday. Once you’ve done that, the rest is up to you.
If you’d like to keep things even simpler, then fear not. Maybe our online generator is for you: it will let you do the exact same thing, minus the cutting up of paper or the need to provide a hat.
Just simply enter the names of everyone who is getting involved and our gadget will automatically assign a horse to them. And if you don’t have 34 people involved, then it will assign multiple horses to participants.

The Grand National will be broadcast live on ITV, with a number of other races from Aintree also being shown by the broadcaster too. The main event gets underway at 4pm.
After his triumph last year, I Am Maximus may well be a formidable opponent. He is not the only horse of the Mullins stable fancied, with Minella Cocooner winning the Bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown last year.
Kandoo Kid is aiming to emulate Many Clouds by winning both the Hennessy Gold Cup and the National in the same season. Last season’s Irish National winner, Intense Raffles, has been trained with the National in mind and will be an intriguing watch.
