Irish trainers are responsible for a record 61 entries of the total 94 received for this year's Randox Grand National — with the Aintree spectacular also having a new start time of 4pm this year.

The race has been brought forward by 75 minutes, having previously got under orders at 5.15pm, while a reduced field of 34 will also be introduced as officials continue to look at making the race as safe as possible.
