2010 Scottish National Form Horses

There are a number of horses in with real chances of winning the Scottish Grand National with all the top trainers bringing some of their best horses to Ayr in the search for success.

Poker De Sivola

Heads to Ayr on the back of a brilliant win in the National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham Festival last month. That was a win over 4 miles so he clearly stays all day and the trainer Ferdy Murphy has a cracking record in the Scottish Grand National. If he takes his place on Saturday then has to be taken seriously with Graham Lee on board and will go off well backed.

Halcon Genelardais

A previous winner of the Welsh Grand National but not reached those heights since for Alan King. We last saw his in the 2009 Welsh National when he came in 7th so may struggle in this company at Ayr. If he brings his best form then he should have a chance but may be fighting for the places at best on Saturday.

Meanus Dandy

Goes for Paul Nicholls with Gold Cup winning jockey Paddy Brennan booked to take the ride with Ruby Walsh out injured. Well backed in the betting after win last time out at Sandown and may have the potential to improve further at Ayr at just seven years old. There are some doubts about him getting the trip on Saturday which is a worry but Paul Nicholls is bullish about his chances so has to have decent claims.

Killyglen

Carrying top weight in the race meaning he faces an uphill challenge in the race on Saturday but still capable of producing a big performance as the betting is suggesting. Had a good run last time when second in the Grimthorpe Chase at Doncaster in March and on that form has to have chances for Howard Johnson, should get the trip ok but may find the weight a little bit too much.

Theatrical Moment

The mount of the Grand National winning AP McCoy who won at Aintree last weekend and sure to attract big money for the race on Saturday. He was last seen in the William Hill Trophy at Cheltenham last month when he came in a decent 7th place, seemed to stay ok that day and the yard is in good form so has to be taken seriously on Saturday.

Gone To Lunch

The subject of decent gamble in recent days and has to have chances after coming in second behind Hello bud in the race last year.He was pulled up in the Welsh National in December which is a worry although the ground was very soft that day, better last time when 5th at Newbury in the Greatwood Veterans Handicap. Loves the course so has to be considered but does not appear on the face of it to be in winning form for Saturday.

Faasel

Faasel is an interesting runner for David Pipe and will be the mount of Tom Scudamore on Saturday after a good run at Cheltenham last month. He came in second at the Festival in the Kim Muir Challenge so heads to Ayr full of form and has to have a great chance. Connections are looking forward to the run at Ayr and he could go very close carrying a decent weight for a top trainer, we think he is one for the shortlist and a live contender.

Scots Dragoon

A very impressive winner last time out at Sandown when he stayed with ease to blow away the field to enhance his claims for a big run at Ayr. Nicky Henderson likes his chances and carrying only 10st looks to have an excellent chance of running a big race on Saturday at good value.
