Grand National 2016 sweepstake kit: Download and print yours here

Douglas Pyper8 April 2016

The Grand National, Britain’s most popular horse-racing event, kicks off this weekend and more people than ever before are expected to watch the 177-year-old race.

This year, the main event has been moved to 5.15pm on Saturday to let even more people take in the spectacle on TV.

A worldwide audience of 500 million are expected to tune in while 40 horses compete for a £1m prize fund by running 4.4 miles and jumping 30 fences.

The favourite this weekend is last year’s winner Many Clouds, but there is no such thing as a sure bet at the Grand National with the all-time favourites win-rate standing at just 15 percent.

Having a flutter on the Grand National is a national tradition in Britain and now you can get involved too, even if you don't know an accumulator from an ante-post.

Just download our handy sweepstake kit, print out the file, then cut up and share with your friends or colleagues. With a sweepstake everyone has an equal chance of picking a winner or an also-ran.
