Since Red Rum achieved three victories between 1973 and 1977, no horse has managed to reclaim the Grand National title after losing it, making I Am Maximus’s bid especially compelling. I Am Maximus, who will wear cheekpieces for only the second time since December 2022, won the Grand National in 2024 with Paul Townend aboard.
