The last 7 year old to win the national was in 1940 gru, because the younger horses at jumps level haven't the stamina for the bigger Aintree fences. From 2015 till now it was 8 & 9 year old winners and the previous years it was 10 & 11 year olds that dominated the grand national winners list.
Weight wise it is anything from low 10 stone to low 11 stone with the odd winner around 11-7 and the only winner at 12 stone in recent decades being Red Rum.
Piece of cake then lol.
