Frequently asked questions

What are the track conditions at Aintree?

The going, which is the official description of the ground, is shown at the top of this page for each Aintree meeting once its racecard is published the day before racing. The going can be changed up to and during a meeting, so check the live racecard close to the off.

Is there a draw bias at Aintree?

No. Aintree stages jump racing, and jump races are not started from stalls, so there is no draw and no draw bias. What shapes races here is the track itself: left-handed, very galloping track, very stiff, level track, big fences.

What does the AI Score show for Aintree runners?

Each runner racing at Aintree gets a 0–100 score from our flagship model, which ranks its chance in the race from well over a hundred inputs, among them ratings, recent form, class, course, distance and going records, speed figures from past races, and trainer and jockey form. The runner's own price is not an input to the model. After the model has scored the field, the morning price is used to rein in long-priced runners, and live price moves are never used.

What big races are run at Aintree?

11 Grade 1, 2 and 3 races have been run at Aintree since October 2025, including the Oddschecker Sefton Novices Hurdle, the JCB Melling Chase and the ThatPrizeGuy Top Novices Hurdle. Each is listed on this page with the first three home.

Are Aintree tips free?

Yes. Aintree race cards, AI scores and course stats are all free to view.
