The 1841 Grand Liverpool Steeplechase was the third official annual running of a Steeple-chase later to become known as the Grand National Steeplechase handicap Horse race which took place at Aintree Racecourse near Liverpool on 3 March 1841 and attracted a then smallest ever field of 11 runners.Although recorded by the press at the time as the sixth running of the Grand Liverpool which was renamed the Grand National in 1847 the first three runnings were poorly organised affairs.The race was not run as a handicap chase and therefore all the runners were declared to carry 12 stone with the exception of the winner of the 1840 Cheltenham Steeplechase who had to carry 13 stone 4 lbs.
