Grand National 2026: JP McManus outsider supported for Grand National glory in William Hill non-runner, money back market
JP McManus looks set for a fourth Grand National victory as his horses dominate William Hill’s non-runner, money back market.
William Hill launched their non-runner, money back market (NRMB) for the Grand National earlier this week and have since seen a flurry of support for JP McManus’ contenders, Sports News Blitz’s horse racing expert Kieran McHugh reports.
McManus has the first three in the market for the Aintree showpiece on Saturday, April 11 but it is one of his outsiders which has caught the attention of punters and bookmakers alike.

William Hill – Grand National – Non-Runner Money Back
I Am Maximus 8/1
Iroko 10/1
Jagwar 10/1
Grangeclare West 10/1
Johnnywho 14/1
Monty’s Star 14/1
Oscars Brother 16/1
BAR 20/1
Also, a popular figure within the market is Welsh Grand National winner, Haiti Couleurs.
William Hill spokesperson, Lee Phelps said: “We went Non-Runner Money back on the Grand National at the start of the week, and since then we’ve seen some interesting market moves.
“Haiti Couleurs has proven popular with punters at 20/1, who have latched onto the Non-Runner Money Back concession with some doubts about his chances of lining up.”

Fourth success for McManus?
McManus holds a good hand for the Grand National and Phelps says that punters are siding with his charges.
“Iroko is currently the worst result in the book as our customers fancy JP McManus to win the famous race for a fourth time, but despite him having the first three in the betting, it’s one of his outside chances that has been of significant interest,” said Phelps.
“Oscars Brother, trained by Connor King, finished fourth in the Brown Advisory at last week’s Cheltenham Festival and has been very popular in recent days.
“We’re on the defensive with him now, with his price clipped into 16/1 from 25/1.”
