All entries in this race will have their suitability assessed by the Grand National Review Panel and if necessary,
The British Horseracing Authority may exercise its powers under Rule (I)2 to refuse to allow a horse duly entered
to run when it has reason to be concerned about the horse's suitability for the race.

Any horse for whom a Confirmation of Entry has been submitted will not be permitted to run if it subsequently runs in any other race, including Point-to-Point races.

All runners must be presented to the BHA Veterinary Officers for a pre-race veterinary inspection and must pass the inspection. Any horse considered unfit to run will be withdrawn by order of the Stewards under Rule (H)7.4.
Horses may be presented for inspection on the day of racing as advised. Subject to the discretion of the Stewards, any horse which is not presented for a veterinary inspection by the time advised will not be permitted to run under Rule (H)7.4.
