Most of the runners from 2024 were in training by the end of 2024-25. The following are not : -

CORACH RAMBLER (IRE) (2014) b g - Jeremy (USA) - Heart N Hope (IRE (Fourstars Allstar (USA) - Won 2 hurdles and 5 chases between 2021 & 2024. Only raced for four seasons and is the most lightly raced modern day National runner only seeing the racecourse eighteen times. The winner of the "last" Grand National. He showed little in his first three three points in 2019-20 pulling up on his first two starts but was eventually successful at the fifth attempt. He won two small races over timber in early 2021 but went chasing thereafter. He won three of his four of his seven chases in his novice season culminating with a two and three quarter length victory in the Ultima Chase at the Festival. He led in the final one hundred yards having been left wth plenty to do three out. He was a quirky individual and his run had to be timed to perfection as once he was in front he usually decided that he had done enough. He finished fourth in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury on his first start the following season but was then put away to preserve his handicap mark so he was next seen out in the Ultima after the weights for the National had been published (he did have a very canny trainer in Lucinda Russell). A second Ultima followed but this time he idled so badly on the run-in that he only just hung on from the very talented Fastorslow. Then came the National and in a race where it was all about the strength in depth of the Irish and the paucity of the British challenge he started favourite and in a race of some carnage especially on the first circuit he was in midfield before he made steady headway from second Valentines and found himself leading at the last. He again idled and held his head in his customary high way in the closing stages but he always had the second placed Vanillier held. In some respects his stunning success was completely overshadowed by the chaotic scenes that had marred the build up to the race and the first circuit. As a National and dual Festival winner another attempt at the Ultima seemed too easy and he was being touted as a possible Gold Cup contender. He finished third behind Royal Pigaille in the Betfair Chase and again was put away until Cheltenham. As things turned out he was not quite Gold Cup class but he equipped himself well eventually finishing third but he weakened in the run in. Sadly he came down at the very first fence in the National and then fell when riderless. He was sent to Ireland to contest the Punchestown Gold Cup but ran terribly and was eventually pulled up when tailed off. Connections decided that despite only being ten that he had done enough and his retirement was anounced in May 2024.​​

DELTA WORK (FR) (2013) b g - Network (GER) - Robbe (FR) (Video Rock (FR)) - Woon 2 hurdles and 9 chases between 2017 & 2025. Won on the flat in France in November 2016 before moving to Ireland. Never out of the first four in all his races over hurdles in 2017-18 he won the Pertemps Final at the Festival by a nose in a driving finishe over his more fancied stable companion Glenloe. He won his first three chases, two at Grade One level and was favourite for the RSA but he slightly disappointed when he could only finished third in a close finish. He ended that season with victory at the Punchestown Festival and he was clearly very very useful. He won two Grade One races at Leopardstown the following season (the Savills Chase and Irish Gold Cup) and had a real chance for the 2020 Gold Cup but he was could only finish fifth and he was not asked again. He was not so good the following season and connections decided that the Cross Country race at the Festival was his race. Not half - he spoilt the party when denying Tiger Roll victory on what was his retirement race in the dying strides. It is arguable that he was possibly the least popular Irish trained Festival winner of all time. He made his debut in the National on his next start. He was amongst the leaders turning for home and was disputing the lead two out but he was soon headed and was no match for Noble Yeats and Any Second Now eventually finishing a well beaten third. He started 2022-23 with victory over the Punchestown Banks course and won a second Cross Country Festival race. He was amongst the favourites for the 2023 National and was stil in contention when he surprisingly unseated at the fence before Bechers second time. It was ony the second time that he had failed to finish in a race. He only had two starts before his third National where he ran the race of his life to finish second behind I Am Maximus. Again he was never going to reach the winner but his performance was all the mose impressive as it was revealed that he had struck into his right hind leg during the race. Three Nationals - a second and a third - pretty impressive. He was last seen finishing a distatant fourth in the Cotswold Chase at Cheltenham in Janaury 2025 and sadly his death from colic was anounced a month later. A remarkable animal and much missed. ​​

EKLAT DE RIRE (FR) (2014) b g - Saddex - Rochdale (FR) (Video Rock (FR)) - Won hurdle and 3 chases between 2020 & 2024. Lightly raced and ony ran thirteen times under rules. Won his point in November 2019 and after two spins over hurdles he won his first two chases in 2020-21 before unseating in the Brown Advisory (old RSA) at the Festval. The followig season he won a listed chase at Wexford and pulled up in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury but his season was over by December. He returned a year later in the Troytown Chase at Navan. A second trip to the Festival ended with him pulling up in the Ultima. The National was his next start and he finished fifteenth after stumbling badly at the nineteenth.  He did not race again and his death was announced a year later.​

JANIDIL (FR) (2014) b g - Indian Daffodil (IRE) - Janidouce (FR) (Kaldounevees (FR)) - Won 3 hurdkes and 3 chases between 2018 & 2024. Started life in France where he finished second in a listed hurdle at Auteuil. Won three hurdles on the bounce in the autumn of 2019 but could only finish fifth in the Albert Bartlett at the Festival. Went chasing after that and won on his debut at Naas. He bypassed the UK festivals but won the Power Gold Cup at Fairyhouse but was no match for Eneurgename in the Ryanair Novice Chase at the Punchestown Festval. He only won one more race after that novice seasn but he ran in a host of big races. He finished a well beaten second in he 2022 Ryanair Chase at he Festival and seventh in the race a year later. His National prep race was the Stayers Hurdler (a fifth Festival visit) where he was unplaced. At Aintree he nearly got round but was pulled up after a tired jump at the last fencew when behind. He wa sadly killed in a fall in the Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown in December 2024.​​​
