A superb day's racing in both Britain and Ireland is headlined by the appearance of household names Frodon and Galvin, while Aintree racegoers and armchair fans get an early-season opportunity to enjoy a race over the famous Grand National fences. Add the Flat turf season's final big race, the BetGoodwin November Handicap into the mix and this is a Saturday which has something for everyone – even before the Breeders' Cup swings into action.

Everyone loves Frodon. The valiant ten-year-old has worn his heart on his sleeve 44 times during a fantastic career, winning on 18 of those occasions.

Bryony Frost has been his regular partner since 2018, and the pair team up once again in Wincanton's 61st Badger Beer Handicap Chase (1.50).
