Comprising almost a fifth of this year’s intended runners, the bookies are offering 5/2 on a grey winner – which would be only the fourth in the near-200-year-history of the National.

As 7/1 joint-favourite, Intense Raffles is the leading grey in the betting. Vanillier isn’t too far behind at 10/1, while Fil Dor is the pack’s rank outsider at 80/1.

Elsewhere, 6/1 says all six greys finish the race and it’s 40/1 for a sensational all-grey podium (greys to finish first, second and third).

Cal Gildart of Ladbrokes said: "Will it pay to go grey? Plenty of punters will make their Grand National picks based on colour, and with a record number among this year's field, it could be a grey day for bookies this weekend."
