Expert Grand National Predictions by Kevin Blake

The highly anticipated Grand National day has arrived, and Kevin Blake is sharing his expert predictions. Before the main event, he has selections in two preceding races. The first is the William Hill Handicap Hurdle, where he favors KAKA'S COUSIN, trained by Jonjo and AJ O'Neill. This six-year-old has shown promise, winning two of his four hurdle starts, and is expected to benefit from the step up in distance and his light weight. Another competitive race is the William Hill Handicap Chase, where CRUZ CONTROL, trained by Tom Lacey, could achieve his third consecutive win. Having won the race in 2024 and 2025, and with his connections aiming for a repeat performance, he has a solid chance. Finally, Kevin Blake turns his attention to the Randox Grand National, one of the world's most spectacular sporting events. He provides his top four predictions for the race, having analyzed each runner in detail.
