Grand National 2026 runners: Pinstickers' guide to Aintree race horses

---

Here is a summary of the horses numbered 28 to 31 with their trainer, jockey, form, age, weight, and commentary along with ratings and odds:

—

**28. Jordans**
– **Trainer:** Joseph O’Brien (IRE)
– **Jockey:** Ben Jones
– **Form:** 2-85P0
– **Age:** 7
– **Weight:** 10-8
– **Commentary (John):** Acquired from France two years ago. Was fifth to Jagwar at last year’s Cheltenham Festival and now better handicapped compared to that rival. Ran well at last year’s Grand National meeting (second to Caldwell Potter) over smaller fences. Trainer Joseph O’Brien has notable credentials and an outside chance to win.
– **Rating:** 7/10
– **Odds:** 28-1

**29. Final Orders**
– **Trainer:** Gavin Cromwell (IRE)
– **Jockey:** Conor Stone-Walsh
– **Form:** P63151
– **Age:** 10
– **Weight:** 10-5
– **Commentary (John):** Good jumper with outstanding Cross Country Festival form but probably peaked for that race. Fell last time running on National fences, so might be beyond him at this level.
– **Rating:** 6/10
– **Odds:** 25-1

—

**30. Marble Sands**
– **Trainer:** David Killahena & Graeme McPherson
– **Jockey:** Kielan Woods
– **Form:** 250-12
– **Age:** 10
– **Weight:** 10-5
– **Commentary (Gina):** Thrived over extended distances recently with strong Cheltenham and Wetherby runs. In good form but age might limit further progression here.
– **Rating:** 5/10
– **Odds:** 100-1

—

**31. Panic Attack**
– **Trainer:** Dan Skelton
– **Jockey:** Dan Skelton
– **Form:** 2-1113
– **Age:** 10
– **Weight:** 10-5
– **Commentary (John):** Enthusiastic mare having a great season with multiple high-profile wins including Paddy Power Gold Cup and Coral Gold Cup. Performs well jumping and has a strong attitude. Key question is can she win this biggest prize after a busy season.
– **Rating:** 8/10
– **Odds:** 8-1
