The new order of elimination from the John Smith’s Grand National was by the British Horseracing Authority’s handicappers if more than 40 horses are declared.
This is based on each horse’s current rating when two or more horses were allocated the same weight back on February 8 when the weights were decided.
If there are any drop-outs by the final declaration stage at 10am on Thursday, April 2, then Maljimar will be the next horse to get in the final field followed by Companero, Pomme Tiepy, Niche Market, Mattock Ranger, Iron Man, Flintoff etc.
