RACHAEL Blackmore or Davy Russell will win today's Aintree Grand National because of their star signs, a leading astrologer has claimed.

Researchers have reviewed years of previous winners to find which star sign has won the famous Grand National race most often.

They claim Russell could be set for a victorious swansong and it could be thanks to being born at the end of June.

Or it might be Rachael Blackmore who was born at the start of July.

Both jockeys have the star sign Cancer, which runs from June 22 to July 22, and is due to be "visited by the planet Mars" today, claims celebrity astrologer Inbaal Honigman.
